Russell has miles and miles to go in terms of preparation. They rarely show the players film of the opponent. I also have heard from Russell fans that the players wouldn't even practice against the other teams offense until Thursday during walk throughs.

You've been misinformed. Depedending on the day the offense runs plays against the scout defense and same on defensive days running against the scout offense. Thursdays are special teams day and walk-thrus. The booster club then feeds them. The break for an hour or so then return for film discussion. The first of the week each player gets a scouting report and can watch game film on Jhudl at their homes with certain plays highlighted.
