Insane that you guys hate Russ so much when there isn't a shred of dirt on the man and just lives a military lifestyle like his parents taught him. You guys love fellas like Marshawn Lynch though that drive so drunk, all of the tires are missing off of his vehicle

I think I can confidently say that no one is going around sayin "Marshawn was such a good dude for drunk driving", might have more to do with the stuff he did prior to that...

The fact that a whole lot of his former teammates can't stand him says something.

The on the field criticism is legit, most of the off the field criticism seems silly and seems centered around the fact that he doesn't go out drinking with the boys or things like that.

There is this.

I think that Seattle should cheer him on for everything that he’s done — help bring a Super Bowl to this community, all that different type of stuff. He’s an amazing guy.”

 

D. K. Metcalf

Quote

After the Seattle game, Wilson exchanged jerseys with his old receiver D.K. Metcalf. On the Seahawks jersey he gifted Wilson, Metcalf wrote that Wilson was the “greatest player I ever played with,” according to NFL.com.

There were stories of some pretty big locker room divisions during his time there. They've been largely validated since.

Hell, even Pete Carroll took some subtle shots at him.

I have seen some of them.  Validation is in the eye of the beholder for the most part.  Most of the criticism is that he received special treatment from the coach.  That is more on Carrol than on Wilson.

That was the start of a lot of it, but not the sum of it.

Funny that the same people here pooing on Wilson would’ve loved to have him on our side when his Hawks basically owned us… 

Nope. I wanted to beat them and him. He was a large piece of the wanting to curb stomp them that we finally saw in the 2015 playoffs.

I just don’t like him cause he was always hard to beat when he was with Seattle. Strictly football related.
 

can’t deny he’s a cringy guy but that doesn’t cause a dislike for him on my pet.

    • You literally did it right there and didn't even remember it. Sorry long Friday.  
    • TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."
    • DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
