Here at Field Gulls we strive to bring you the best in commentary and analysis. Unfortunately I'm not very good with words, so you'll have to bear with me as I illustrate my point in moving pictures.
Yes, that would be Brian Russell effectively screening Marcus Trufant out of the play. Way to be a team player, B-Russ.
Now for three you may have seen before...
KSK pointed out a while ago that Brian Russell is so slow these days that he's whiffing on his trademark late hits.
Of course, this play resulted in a Baraka Atkins sack. I just wanted to highlight the sack any other safety could have made in his sleep.
And of course my personal favorite, Brian Russell's perfect form head tackle. I think we all know what kind of joke would be appropriate here.
Questions, class?

Well, you can't deny Russell has talent...
except that you can.

glad this got posted
Seeing the giant picture on the Sports page of the PI/Times made it all the more painful. Looking back now it’s hilarious though.

We should make a sparta remix with these.

Excellent job BrianL.
While I usually like rooting for the “underdog white guy”, this boy has got to go. Can’t we have Jeremy Urban back or something?

Mike Hass looks a lot like Tony Romo. Ew.
Logan Payne, however, man that’s one sexy piece of white meat!

Wow, I love the video clips, they illustrate your points nicely and complements the awesome commentary. Good Job

The stomach pains I have right now might be a coincidence
but more likely it’s my body rejecting the very concept of Russell. Is there not some kind of “Safety-oscopy” that can be done, to cure my ills?

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is
More Patrick Chung!

I was at that game. I nearly went onto the field and killed Russell.

Patriots or Eagles?
I was at the Eagles game and man, Qwest went nuts on Koren’s TD.

...Man, did I whiff on that one.
Really, W. Llama was at the Miami game? The stadium was like half empty.

Yeah, the Miami game. I've nearly served all of my time in Florida, thankfully.
I happened to be sitting in a pocket of Seahawks fans about 15 deep. It was pretty crazy. When Russell’s excellent commando-style breakup happened, and it was on the replays, we were stunned, and Miami fans were laughing.
Later in the game, I heard the funniest thing ever screamed by a fan. We were right behind Seattle’s bench, like two rows back, and when Keary Colbert dropped that gimme from Seneca late in the game, this dude started screaming “You suck Keary! How can you drop that? You should be an insurance salesman Keary, an insurance salesman!” It sounds wierd now but it was hilarious at the time.

So, is Patrick Chung this season's John Carlson?

Either that or this season Trevor Laws

It would be cool to enter next season with Laws and Mebane in the middle.

Ya but that would probably mean we wouldn't have Cole

That would truly be a shame.

The funniest thing in that "late hit miss" gif
is Russell flopping to the ground after he misses.
It’s also wierd that he was one of the only players on our team that wasn’t nerfed by late-season roster updates in Madden. He’s actually pretty good in the game, like 85

The rosters are pretty sketchy
Mebane only an 82, but Carlson went way up to an 89.
Tapp 79, L-Jax 78, Atkins 77..
Jennings 83, Josh Wilson 77..
They also have Grant at FS in the game, at an 85, and Russell is the SS, also at 85..

How the bloody hell is Tapp only a 79?

that first one was just brutal
Trufant looks like he might even pick it off. And then to top it off that late swat by Russell that misses everything.

It's surprising he didn't come in butt-first
It’s served him well in the past..

looking at that again, that's a pretty big pushoff from the Miami WR.
Yeesh. Guess they only call those in superbowls.

On Seahawk Addicts, one of the writers is
arguing that Russell is an “OK safety.” Vomit.

Well, it's true.
He hets an unfair rap because John fucking hates white people.

Maybe I should gif that moment where Russell engaged Jake Long on a block.
You know, just to show how gritty Russell is.

Please, please do it.

Gotta give him points for embracing an unpopular position.
I mean, impossible position that’s totally false.

You've convinced me, Brian.

Let's play Devil's Advocate.
Who’s to say he can’t do this again if we move him back to SS?

I think the burden of proof would be on you there
Although that play doesn’t look all that different than the plays we give him crap about now. The difference between that play and the Kevin Faulk .gif is that Russel isn’t fast enough anymore to blow up a clearly defenseless receiver with no shot at the ball.
