Brian Russell Shouldn’t Have a Job in the NFL of the Week
For those of you who might be wondering, “Could the Seahawks have made Tony Romo look any better yesterday?” the answer is YES: they could still be starting Brian Russell at free safety. He’s too slow and too weak for the NFL, and I dare an NFL team to sign him and still finish the season .500. It can’t be done.

Chris Johnson : Brian Russell :: Any NFL RB : Brian Russell
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:04 am
He shows great leadership on this one! Like a coach on the field! He’s so deceptively fast, too. He’s just a gritty football player.
/has another Brent Alexander flashback.

Do the Seahawks keep Brian Russell to fulfill some Special Needs Hire quota?
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:09 am
Actually, it was Jacksonville’s turn to take him, per the NFL’s settlement in the class action suit Shitty White Guys v. The National Football League.

Brian Russell is just a FOOTBALL PLAYER in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. He is among the 1,696 leaders in grit.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
He was going out as William Gay for Halloween.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
Chris Johnson left a trail of grit all the way to the end zone.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:19 am
I’m shocked he’s not a member of the Patriots. If there’s anything the Boston sports fan loves, it’s comically unathletic white guys taking jobs away from the dahkies. Why, their basketball and baseball teams practically invented this process. Once again, their football team lags behind.

Gruden: You gotta admire Russells grit and determination. He slows up Chris Johnson, AN OUTSTANDING NFL player, all by himself.
Tirico:
Gruden: SOMEONE from the Jag’s HAS to be there to support Russell. I tell ya, that Russell has some grit, and Chris Johnson IS A PLAYER.

Meast, if Tom Brady allow it.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:15 am
On the other hand, Johnson probably would have gone down if he wasn’t afraid that the cops would get him.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:18 am
Don’t forget the fat white d linemen lunging and failing at the tackle as well. I don’t think it is a coincidence that the Pats have a much better D this year after getting rid of Bruschi and Vrabel.

Initially, I thought Brian Russell was a bad player, but the league is full of bad players (see Russell, JaMarcus). I felt sorry for El Capitan Caveman. And then I watched that motherfucker torch my fantasy football season. Fuck you Brian Russell. Now my hatred for you burns with the heat of a thousand suns. Die motherfucker die. All Frank Gore asks for Christmas each year is for your sorry ass to be on the 49ers schedule.
/goes off to trade for every RB, WR, and K that will be on the field at the same time as that cockgobbler.
/now fully understands Week 5’s “Seattle 41 Jacksonville 0″

Head down, feet up, arms flailing… truly Brian Russell tackles like no other player in the league.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:44 am
Leading with the head, flailing with the arms.
Seriously, this guy didn’t get re-signed by the Browns. THE BROWNS.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:47 am
You people just don’t appreciate his grit and leadership. If he were to actually have tackled that black man, he’d have been branded a racist for life. Do you want that? DO YOU?
I do.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:51 am
Hopefully Russell finds a way to turn his grit into cyanide, then swallow a whole bag of it so Uff can finally watch a game in peace.
But these .gifs are so delightfully delicious.
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:53 am
That’s a pretty measty run by Johnson, though, you have to admit.
Yours sincerely,
William Gay, Laron Landry, Brian Bosworth, and all the poor SOBs who got pwned by Walter Payton on his highlight video.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:14 pm
I only half wish that he was still a Seahawk so that I could keep blaming him for our losses and not scrutinize the team to point out where we are blowing it.
Then I realize we have no O-line or D-line, our corner/safeties are short, and the list goes on.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm
How do you cook your grit? Do you like it regular, creamy or al dente?
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Somewhere on the Tennessee bench, Kevin Kaesviharn is glad it wasn’t him
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Brian Russell doesn’t just blow tackles, he also somehow manages to block fellow team mates out of making tackles.
November 2nd, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Nothing like getting run over by a small speed-back who has already been tripped up by your team mates, thereby giving him the boost he needs to take it to the house.
November 2nd, 2009 at 1:14 pm
Brian Russell is killing my team, and is always the best player on the opposite team’s offense when he is on the field. This guy gets blasted worse than those paper banners cheerleaders hold for high school teams to run through. I am gonna hang out after the game next week and try to pay him to try to tackle me so I can make one of those gifs of me running him over.
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Hey Russell! YOURE DOING IT WRONG!!!
November 2nd, 2009 at 7:43 pm
How in the hell did this guy make an NFL team, let alone multiple NFL teams?
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:27 pm
Jaguars have always been a run defense team. This play pissed me off so bad yesterday. Brian Russell ruined that game for the Jaguars. Tho Reggie Nelson should NEVER have been playing CORNER when he is a SAFETY (if u even want to call him that.) Reggie misses a tackle at the line of scrimmage then Russell gets knocked out like a B1tch.
November 2nd, 2009 at 10:58 pm
Needs “gritty” tag.
November 3rd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
At least Landry and Gay made contact before getting thrown like a rag doll. And they got trucked by Jacobs and Peterson. Big guy and Purple Jesus.
Johnson’s what, 180 pounds? And Russell didn’t get trucked – the top of his helmet sorta touches Johnson’s shoulder pad, but that, that’s all Russell right there.
Jacksonville really doesn’t have anyone better? Has Del Rio just given up on this football thing?
