Lol, I think it's a Gary Gray reference. Clever.

Yeah I need pics personally.

Something to help draw an inference.

Boobs help me think.

He hit crisply too. It wasn't just his coverage it was his intensity. I think his conversation with Manti helped!

He knows how to play the ball in the air unlike most of our CBs over the past recent years. Also, he is rarely if ever beaten.

I agree with Mr. Russell.

Huge game today.

Was really impressed today. Turning, finding the ball and batting it down, just awesome. Its good to have a real solid corner the next year or two

I thought his play today was so superb, that it looked like he was from a different backfield!

He's been fun to watch these last two years. Gonna be even funner before he's done. I'm cool with him and Luke on the corners next year, and Redfield in the middle.

He's had a quietly dominant season. Don't think he got beat once today. And lest we all forget, this was only his second year ever playing the position.

When you watch him side by side with Jackson you understand just how good he is.

Don't forget about Baratti. If he is back and healthy, that gives us some biguns, too!

Yes. Extremely impressive today. Shadowed a big, future NFL WR and shut him down when he covered him. Coleman made his plays vs Bennett Jackson…who was not very good today.

Russell has the skills to dominate next year and play his way into a potential 1st round pick.

Hey now, let's not get carried away here. Guy's got two years of eligibility left. Maybe he should pace himself...

Well he's good really good. When you watch how bad Bennett Jackson is you understand how dominate Russell can be.

Was he our best defensive player this year? Nix, Tuitt and Shembo came in with big expectations, but were all a bit disappointing. All of them played well, but not as well as hoped (injuries may have had something to do with that). Just an interesting idea.

Just to be trouble, I would say player of the year would be between KR and JS! Both players were on the most improved list. That speaks for itself with JS, but KR didn't start out so hot. And he was able to be exposed last year. This year by the end of the season he was a really solid corner, and one of the hardest hitters, pound for pound, I will warrant.

Corners should have that confidence. I like what he said because it seems Russell is the type of guy that will push himself to live up to those words and not the type to get cocky. He has a chance of being one of the premier DBs in the country, hopefully he achieves it.
