Russell Wilson falls flat in Broncos 19-16 OT loss vs. Chargers on MNF | NFL | UNDISPUTED

Last night he was terrible again and now they are talking about how he might have had a hamstring problem. It seems like every time she plays badly she comes up with a problematic skill. If you think back to a couple of weeks ago, she had to laugh. He has a very similar situation to Dak Prescott last night, his hamstring bothered him, what does that have to do with his decision making? There are several times he has the tight end right in his line of sight, he just threw the ball to the tight end which has nothing to do with the return which has nothing to do with his hamstring no, Russell Wilson doesn't see The field is very good, it is playing even worse than what the field sees and I don't know what kind of protection they had when jumping. where you just allow guys to run free down the middle of the field or you change protection, break or live, live or break or protect yourself where you block and release the guys on the outside, let them travel as far as possible to get to your quarterback field, don't give Derwin James, don't give the center back a free throw or a free run to your quarterback Russ, what are you doing?

Don't you see them like, oh man, I might need to redirect this protection, hey instead of we have a right decision, come on, Liz, yeah. Slide the line to the left, turn back, send it back to the right and lock it like this. he jumps, he is playing badly 245 million, this is what has gotten them five touchdown passes in six games. 30th in completion percentage worst scoring offense in the NFL 15 points per game that defense is good enough to have won five of those games. I think they are fourth in scoring defense considering they are getting nothing, absolutely nothing from their offense yes and they are still allowing 16 and a half points per game no Randy Gregory uh uh Ronald Darby is down they played a rookie last night and they gave him his test of fire, had four pass interferences.

We are a very undisciplined team that leads the league in penalties. Last night they had another 150 yards every year. Okay, nothing you had training, you either train it or tolerate it, you do it, it's two C's, you train it or tolerate it, yeah, which one is it? How is it put to an end or when is it going to be put to an end? But Russell Wilson missed seven drives in the second half after six months of halftime and a field goal and on the field goal they didn't gain a yard because the The Broncos D became uh intercepted uh Herbert like they got three points later of the half, yes, three points, yes, but I say they had six points, one field, six hits, six months, no, six points, okay, one field goal, zero yards, which was created by the interception. and Russ' stats in the second half in overtime three of eleven for 15 yards say again three of eleven for 15 yards I don't give a damn if he only has one leg, he should have completed more than three passes for 11 yards I want say jump 15 yards this is embarrassing this is embarrassing and that's why I didn't go to the game this is exactly why this is bad I don't know what's going on with Russ but he seemed like a man who has a lot of other things on his mind besides football , it's just me personally.

I could be wrong, but this is not so. I have never seen Russell Wilson play so badly in my entire life, not as a rookie, not as a third year, not as a second year slump not as a five year old five-year bet not even last year jump when he was down he was down Russell It's never looked so bad it looks downright horrible um I'm going to look at you and I'm going to raise you, they gave me two first round picks two Sega round picks a fifth round pick and I had to extend them like you just pointed out for five years and 200 and I think it's 243 million 161 million dollars guaranteed and they didn't get Noah found out about the deal and they got Shelby Harris yeah they got them and Drew Lock.

I thought it was going to start, but guess what happened? Gino out of nowhere. Gino happened. Gino is playing better than Russ. He's playing better than Russ. Seattle has a one-game better record than the Broncos. three and three are tied for first in their division and Geno leads the league in completion percentage. He is fourth in qbr. He is rated by Pro Football Focus, second only to Josh Allen among all quarterbacks in overall quarterback rating. That's phenomenal. I did not see that. one goes no, I don't think anyone saw it coming, okay because I thought Drew Lock was going to be the starter, silly me, I didn't think Drew Lock could beat Gino, I also thought they might go another direction. a quarterback, me too, but the good story says we've seen Geno, we've seen Skip, it's not like all of a sudden, where did Geno come from?

Who has played soccer before? I know we've seen his work. We've seen his resume and he wasn't good, he never looked like that, thank you, but all of a sudden the pressure was off in Seattle because no one expected the Seahawks to do anything, all of a sudden the pressure was off and he got to Mile High. at Mile High, yes for Russell Wilson, so here's my take on Russell Wilson. Once upon a time, he was kind of an underrated, overachieving third-round pick. Remember this, yes, Wisconsin through the state of North Carolina through baseball. We tried minor league baseball and remember that it comes out of nowhere. up and wins the job, remember this and Pete Carroll closes his eyes and says: I'm going with Russell Wilson, the smallest, what we're giving him is him being six feet, maybe maybe six feet and me.

They had a little video of Elway hugging him. Elway. It looks like he's six inches taller than Russell Wilson, what do you give John? 6'4, he's six three, okay, six three, yeah, the point is I love that rust because he was on a mission to show the NFL that they were underestimating him, right? underestimating him was that he wasn't giving him the respect that he would earn from the NFL and he slowly earned it, he earned it from his head coach. I'm not sure he finally earned it from his legion of burgeoning defenses, but that was the flash point problem, he was still very good at playing the underdog quarterback, but you remember Seattle in free agency went after Matt Flynn, that's what I said.

Matt Flynn was there and they paid the guy almost nothing like this, right, they gave him 20 million dollars, which was a career reserve, he had an outstanding game for more than four, like 480 yards against Detroit, the last game of the season in Green Bay, where the outgoing Matthew Stafford was, who had over 500 yards in that game, but Pete Carroll had the guts and the vision. he did it to plug in and say hey I'm going with this kid because this kid has been around, he was very mature for his age because he only played minor league baseball and he was around for North Carolina State, Wisconsin played in a lot of big games. . and suddenly he takes over Seattle and becomes the face of the franchise, but he was always like the underdog Underdog Underdog I'm fighting, fighting, fighting for respect, even in my own locker room.

I'm fighting, fighting, fighting for respect. then he marries a celebrity and suddenly at some point, yes, art changes because it goes from the limit to Superstars, yes, of course, that is a skill, a professional athlete is one thing, but a celebrity is a fanfare, that is something completely different in very different. Few NFL players ever enjoy that maybe a Brady comes to mind, but like I said, skip even Peyton, but Brady also had a supermodel who is internationally acclaimed. Sierra is internationally acclaimed, so that's a whole different ballgame, okay? Russ will turn 34 on November 29th like 40.

But he is, but the handwriting was, as you point out, it was actually on the locker room wall a year ago in Seattle because Pro Football Focus rated him only the 20th best quarterback in field at the end. of the year and you could see that his statistics were starting to show a little wear and tear across the board. Jump, you know what I think, I think last year, the cause of the commotion is that Russ went to Seattle on one of the contract extensions and they told him. He didn't and when they told him that wasn't then when his agent went out there, he would be interested in leaving the four Enlisted teams and that it would be interesting and he would go away for himself and never, ever, the bridge was never repaired because they never gave him the no contract extension and lo and behold, fast forward, he's not going to stop because they're not going to give him the contract extension the Broncos are in dire straits for a quarterback jump, see you know what they've had since Peyton Manning he retired but everyone is telling you right now that he's not playing better than Brock Osweiler, Trevor Simeon or Drew, block this play here and now he's worse than Brock Osweiler Trevor sent me Andrew Luck, okay I got it, but going that route that you described.

I felt like the Broncos took Aaron Rodgers' bait because they went out and hired Nathaniel Hackett because he was Aaron's favorite, he wasn't the coordinator, he was the quarterbacks coach, yeah, he wasn't even the play-caller, actually his job was to maintain. Aaron was happy and he made him laugh and I think Nathaniel did it at a very high level because Aaron spoke glowingly of Nathaniel so don't you think Bronco Nation doesn't believe that I think John Elway believes there's a real chance that let's do it? lands Aaron Rodgers well I'll land him first I'll let you captain hey no no no no no no no bring me the ship and then I'll let you captain the ship I'm not going to say I'm not going to do you're captain and then you don't have and that's what Kim passes.

I think you're absolutely right. I think they thought they could get Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers wants Nathaniel Hackett. He would be very familiar with this system and everything. Be perfect, well you have no air, Rogers, you have a coach who seems to be over his head. I think now you have a guy who seems to be in a big decline. Russell Wilson seemed to have taken a step back. a cliff so your team was desperate and Russ was desperate to get out of Seattle and it was a match made in hell because neither side was going for the right reasons for each other.

I don't think Russ was eager to get out of Seattle. I think Russ wanted, he was eager to get to a contract extension, but I mean he wanted love, he wanted love at the end of his career from someone and all of a sudden Bronco Nation says, we'll take you, yeah, we'll love you, we'll take you. we will hug you yeah we'll hug you the worst thing you can do is get into a relationship because you're lonely that's right guy I agree your guy hey your guy but here's the thing. Now it's becoming more and more obvious to me that Russ. he was supported by Legion of the Boon in running the game because I've seen that he doesn't have that look, I don't jump, I don't know who he is, that's an impostor, is it the real Russell?

Wilson jumps, do you remember the game show, to tell you the truth, they had three guys, only one person, three people up there, only one, who they say they were real with, with a real Russell Wilson, please stand up exactly right, the real Russell Wilson, please introduce yourself because This is amazing, the best thing that happened last night. This man didn't finish. Noble's press conference skips every time I look. The only thing I know about Colorado without November and I know how they bleed blue and orange for those Broncos they would have completely lost. their minds and the game is on Sunday uh they played the Jets uh actually I'm going back because we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of our first Super Bowl team good for you Lord have mercy skip it's hard it's it's hard it's hard me right now , so suddenly Russ' cheesy cliches he lives by don't work no, they don't sound like Hollow because he can't back it up thanks listen Once upon a time Russ could cook, yes, because Russ at his smallest stature, but he was heavily built , he could really move, yeah, and move, yeah, and he could get out of the pocket and make up plays on the fly, yeah, he can get out of this, this is the script, throw it out, okay, Russ, go Rust, go now.

I can't do anything off script if they don't have the perfect play called Russ, it's like he never played quarterback, like he never understood how to read a defense. There was a late Blitz where someone came out completely free and he just freezes and goes deer in the headlights there was a time when he came out of that Blitzer free, yeah he just came out of there screeching and making himself look dumb right? and then he would go out and look and look. and suddenly someone finds out, oh there he is and I got it, yeah, we saw Russ Cook in the first quarter because he completed his first 10 passes, yeah, and you're like, boy, he's going to cook, I'll cook you home, right, but?

He didn't do it because as the pressure increased he started to look like a deer in the headlights because, to your point, many times I don't have no, I couldn't even ask for a video to show, let's show this work because there were many in the In the second half you just freeze and go blind in the pocket, you can't see what's right before your eyes, you had checked down, so you had tight ends just hooking through the wall, right where we're going, right above of the ball, right in front of him. she's right in front of what they were on Thursday night, they were on Monday night and again on Monday night and there was also a Sundayat night yeah that could have been the 49ers day is it day 49?

Yeah, how the hell did they beat the 49ers? Don't know. I don't know Jimmy G, right, yeah, yeah, Jimmy took a quick step before coming back to Russ and finishing with Russ, the play of the game becomes Muff's punt, yeah, your Denver Broncos in overtime. I'm still not sure what the rule is. It's here and I'm still a little lost as to why this wasn't reviewed more thoroughly or if it's pressed again it can't be challenged. But I do get to see the play I challenged with a kick coming close to his face and it's like you have to stand your ground and defend yourself, so he goes and he puts. he raised his arms to block I thought at least this would be checked, they didn't even stop, man they just kept going, no one said a word about it.

I say, wait a second, they haven't seen enough bad football, they said no, we don't do it. I don't know what the Broncos did to get this ball back. Let's get this over with. You know it was a long, hard game to watch because there was a lot of bad football, even the blitzes the Chargers played. Justin Herbert missed the most passes, 57 without a touchdown. pass and a winning effort I don't know what in the history of the game good since the merger of 57 something like that yeah, he had some crazy things he threw 57 passes not a touchdown he didn't even have 250 yards that's how good the Broncos defense was good last night , I'll give him a break, he didn't have Keenan Allen and I love Keenan Allen and he didn't have that little Northwestern left tackle that's been really good and he's been out. so I'm going to give you a little break, but you picked them to win the AFC, they haven't lived up to your prediction, yeah, no, defensively, I don't think they're as good as I thought they were going to be. both are already out, eh, JC Jackson hasn't lived up to being the number one cornerback, getting big Max dollars.

I think he wants to gain two or three higher-paid cornerbacks and he hasn't measured up to the building and Brandon Staley is a floor. was a mad scientist and at the beginning of that year he went crazy, he is crazy, yes, he was fired for doing stupid things or I have the utmost confidence, it's not about you having confidence in your defense, no, I still am, don't leave them skills yes They do nothing. They have a chance to score a 55-yard field goal. They get a 45-yard first down. What do you mean you put the ball up and make them drive down the field?

I don't understand. He would tell you. The analytics say you should try every time, well he's going out of his line, but this is what the analytics don't take into account again the situation, how you play him to the point where you want to use those analytics, how he's playing your quarterback, what's your situation. What is your injury history? Who is inside? Who's out? The analyzes do not take that into account. You just give yourself the numbers. If you do this and complete it, you have a better chance of winning. It does not take into account other variables.

None. So I started the program. saying their Lakers are stuck in the rust and now their Broncos are stuck in the rust because there's no way out of this, they know they have to try to figure this out, the earliest they could get out is 2025 and then that. would leave you with a limit of 31 million dead here, that's 20 25. You have 23 24 after 25, so you have four years and good luck trying to try to let everyone know that the car is putting you on the road and next to the This way, you have a new set of owners and if I meet new owners, they get ANSI quickly, like wait, wait a second, now we're being held accountable for this because all of a sudden the public was like, are you going to do something? which would put Nathaniel Hackett in a bind champagne, you want to coach the Broncos up there, come on, hey, I'm going there, I understand, I have an owner there for you, brother, hey, make your people call my people, but there I am sure you will receive here you would be a fabulous agent.

I could see all the deals you would negotiate next for these two teams, the Jets are coming to visit the Broncos and the Seahawks are visiting the Chargers, that one is on the NFL on Fox, thanks for watching.
