NFL: Niners defense dominates Raiders in joint practice


Associated Press

NAPA, Calif. — JaMarcus Russell tried to sneak a pass into Zach Miller in a red zone drill only to have Nate Clements step in front of it for an interception.

On the next play, Russell threw behind Miller and Takeo Spikes deflected the ball into Diyral Briggs’ hands for another 49ers interception. Bruce Gradkowski then replaced Russell and was picked off by Dre’ Bly and Clements again.
Bly called Wednesday’s practice the best he has ever participated in, crowing “They were feeding us. That buffet was good.”
Russell responded that it’s “not the end of the world” and hoped the Raiders would fare better in the final joint session between the teams later in the day.
