I will kill a man. I will fucking do it. From PFT’s “The Way We Hear It” — While other observers in Seattle might have a hard time agreeing with its line of thinking after Brian Russell’s shaky ‘08 campaign, we hear the Seahawks’ brain trust still thinks their starting free safety’s savvy and steadiness are assets worth keeping.
Oh, that’s good. Those are my favorite stats. Savvy and steadiness. Someone call up Football Outsiders and make sure they take those into account for DVOA.

Fixed.

I suck. That is all.

Here is something you can’t understand…How I could just kill a maaaaaaaan.
Next thing you know words like gritty, gutty and a real competitor will be making their way out of commentators’ mouths any second now.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:36 am
@RBP – thank you, fixed.
And FIX YO TAGS
January 12th, 2009 at 10:36 am
I literally don’t understand this…. Aside from this, Ruskell seems like a smart GM. Is he blinded by the white?
Also: FUCK BRIAN RUSSELL.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:45 am
Brian Russell is the David Eckstein of football.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:50 am
When was the last time the C-cox mattered anyway?
January 12th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Just wait. Any day now, they’ll be talking about his hustle.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:53 am
When your team is run by a “brain trust”, you are screwed.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Fuck – we don’t play the Seahawks next year. :(
January 12th, 2009 at 10:57 am
Guys, I gotta tell you: Dan Patrick just told Salma Hayek to stop, and go away based on her the Golden Globes. I just wanted you to know. I assume DP is now dead to many of you.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:58 am
*on the Golden Globes. More coffee needed.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:58 am
Wow Uff, you’re quite prolific this weekend. Blue balls?
January 12th, 2009 at 10:59 am
@ Kordell
Beat me to the punch. Dammit.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:06 am
@Boatdrinks: Wait, Dan Patrick’s still on the air? Or was this during Football Night in America?
January 12th, 2009 at 11:07 am
They didn’t even mention his heart and hustle.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Brian Russell would be a huge fan favorite in New England
January 12th, 2009 at 11:27 am
DP on in syndication…I listen online.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:32 am
How can you deny his gruttiness? The way he piles on tackles, magnificent excecution.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:37 am
@ Upstate:
While we like white guys as a general rule, we only like our white shitty players on our basketball team.
Get it right.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Howie Long thinks savvy and steadiness are great, you know, if you’re into that kinda thing.
January 12th, 2009 at 11:43 am
In Brian Russell’s defense, he’s very consistent. Week in, week out, he provides great clips for CC to angrily post here.
January 12th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
Steady like Lucille Austero, steady?
January 12th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Willie Bloomquist signed with the Royals, and Luke Ridnour is gone. Were it not for Brian Russell, the city of Seattle would no longer have its Recommended Daily Allowance of heart, grit, and savvy (WELKAH!!!)
And Ruskell isn’t as smart as people think. If he was, and he absolutely needed a pigment-challenged safety, he’d get one like Jim Leonhard of the Ravens, who can actially fill a gap and make a fucking play.
January 12th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Strength and speed are for commies and negroes.
January 12th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
@ UU
Our secondary sucks, but even Billy B wouldn’t want that pile of worthless shit on the team, nor do we have much tolerance for awful players.
January 12th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Here’s a simple test. Go to any other NFL town and find me a “Seahawks bar.” Run-of-the-mill gay bars don’t count. The Seahawks aren’t a team, they’re an opponent.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
I wake up tp read this? Fuck it, I’m going back to bed.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
Hey Kimbo?
Kimbo? Hello? …. Are you listening to me? Look at me Kimbo… here…. look at me… Kimbo?
FUCK YOU!
……………………………………………Go Seahawks.
January 12th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
I thought this was an NFL site.
January 12th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
From those few animated gifs that I’ve seen here of Bryan Russell’s pretend tackles, I’d say that “steadiness” really isn’t his strong point…
Usually people stop flailing so wildly when they turn 3.
January 12th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
Ofcourse, Willie Bloomquist just left Seattle, so if Bryan Russell also left, what would Seattlites do with their Hustling White Guy fetish?
January 12th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
I guess the Seahawks do not value tackling or cover skills when assessing their safeties. Smart.
/when will the suffering end?
January 12th, 2009 at 10:44 pm
@Daniel
Really, it’s for the best that someone told you this. In time you’ll thank me.
January 13th, 2009 at 1:56 am
Brian Russell is like a coach on the field, and that coach is Rod Marinelli.
