NFL 2022-2023

That may be why he was traded. His ego has got the better of him.

Russ sure plays the role of the ultimate teammate, but he's playing this game for himself. That's why he left Seattle, he couldn't play the way he wanted to.
Don't buy into the facade that he's the ultimate team guy Bronco fans.

There were plenty of rumors to that effect while he was in Seattle. There's a reason Richard Sherman went off on him on occasion, including recently. Sherman is finally retired, so far as I can tell. I would like to see Seattle sign him for a day, like they did with KJ Wright, so he could retire as a Seahawk. I have always liked Richard Sherman. All his bluster is just bluster except that he always backed it up well. It was not a lot of fun to watch him decline but keep trying to play. I hope he hasn't rattled his brain to the point it doesn't work. He's one who has more to offer than just football.
 
I wonder if the injuries to Tua were worse because of the previous (non!?!) injury suffered in the Bills game last Sunday. That was tough to watch.

No doubt. This is why the concussion protocol is so important. A second trauma to someone who has been recently concussed is much more dangerous. Everyone who looked at the Bills game injury thinks it was a concussion. Everyone but the Dolphins and the NFL who are lying to cover their asses. The coverup is well underway.

I'm surprised they didn't call a penalty.
He clearly made a serious effort to slam him on the ground. He had him tackled. That was completely uncalled for.
They call some pretty soft stuff in the name of protecting the QB. This wasn't just being physical, or heat of the moment crap. He fully intended to slam the QB and hurt him.

Disagree. It was a tackle from the waist not a chrusher or a slam.

With the powder blue helmets? Or was that the 70s? Either way, I do love those unis.

The powder blue helmets from the 1960's go back to one of my favorite all time Oilers ( And STILL not in the HOF . . . ) Charlie Tolar. The 1981 - '96's had the white helmet with the red face mask. I just dug that look.
