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.

Brian Russell is like a coach on the field, and that coach is Rod Marinelli.
@Daniel
Really, it’s for the best that someone told you this. In time you’ll thank me.
I guess the Seahawks do not value tackling or cover skills when assessing their safeties. Smart.
/when will the suffering end?
Ofcourse, Willie Bloomquist just left Seattle, so if Bryan Russell also left, what would Seattlites do with their Hustling White Guy fetish?
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.
I thought this was an NFL site.
Hey Kimbo?
Kimbo? Hello? …. Are you listening to me? Look at me Kimbo… here…. look at me… Kimbo?
FUCK YOU!
……………………………………………Go Seahawks.
I wake up tp read this? Fuck it, I’m going back to bed.
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.
@ 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.
Strength and speed are for commies and negroes.
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.
Steady like Lucille Austero, steady?
In Brian Russell’s defense, he’s very consistent. Week in, week out, he provides great clips for CC to angrily post here.
Howie Long thinks savvy and steadiness are great, you know, if you’re into that kinda thing.
@ Upstate:
While we like white guys as a general rule, we only like our white shitty players on our basketball team.
Get it right.
How can you deny his gruttiness? The way he piles on tackles, magnificent excecution.
DP on in syndication…I listen online.
Brian Russell would be a huge fan favorite in New England
They didn’t even mention his heart and hustle.
@Boatdrinks: Wait, Dan Patrick’s still on the air? Or was this during Football Night in America?
@ Kordell
Beat me to the punch. Dammit.
Wow Uff, you’re quite prolific this weekend. Blue balls?
*on the Golden Globes. More coffee needed.
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.
Fuck – we don’t play the Seahawks next year. :(
When your team is run by a “brain trust”, you are screwed.
Just wait. Any day now, they’ll be talking about his hustle.
When was the last time the C-cox mattered anyway?
Brian Russell is the David Eckstein of football.
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.
@RBP – thank you, fixed.
And FIX YO TAGS
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.
I suck. That is all.
Savvy and steadiness. Someone call up Football Outsiders and make sure they take those into account for [b]DVDA[/B].
Fixed.
