He's really slowing down, he doesn't even land the late hit anymore

Awesome. Thanks for going to the time to

make the GIFs. Priceless.

With Raul Ibanez gone

the Seattle sports scene needs a source of priceless, hilarious gifs.

Thanks, Brian Russell.

I was thinking the same thing. good old LL / FG crossover

Can't wait for Ruskell to knock this one out of the park.

How do you make the .gifs?

Seems like something that would be fun to play around with

After I get the video

I use Total Media Converter to cut the clip out from the rest of the game and encode it in MPEG2. From there I use VirtualDub to crop the video and export it as an animated gif.

You have to pay for Total Media Converter

but you could use something like Media Coder 8 as a freeware alternative. It’s not as precise with the cutting as I would like, though.

I like the second one

where he looks like a car crash victim hoping to fly clear of his own wreckage.

or he's jumping off a train...

Nice job.

Those whiffs are just plain shameful.

PS: Safari hates your gifs for some reason.

All it needs now is the Benny Hill theme song

He also whiffed on Welker...

There was a great shot on the hilights of him whiffing the tackle in the open field, falling to his face, and looking up and backwards as Welker ran towards the camera.

I remember that one, but it's not like they could all fit on one site...

It's all we'd do.

I'd have to give up my day job.

And sleep.

While we all have differing opinions on how good the Hawks may or may not be in the next couple of years, its obvious that we will not be a sure-fire Super Bowl team in the near future. Therefore, I nominate that we sign Brian Russell to a 5-year extension at $15 million a year. Because even if our team is terrible, we’ll always have ~~somebody~~ something to laugh at about. And at $15 million a year, he’ll be that much easier to make fun of.

No no no...

We hire bruss to a 7-year, $14/hr contract as Qwests new walking beer vendor.

So, you guys think Russell's going to declare for the draft?

by myx on Dec 9, 2008 10:26 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

He is sooooo slow

He used to merely be late on plays, now he’s lucky to even make it into the camera angle. Many linebackers are much faster. Oh well………Spring Training isn’t far off.

While watching the game from Sunday

I’ve really began to notice how many plays this dude comes flying in on late, hitting people who are already down. I’m really surprised that he doesn’t get flagged more.
