PrintPer the team site (with a tip o' the cap to Rivers McCown), your Houston Texans signed Brian Russell to replace the IRed Eugene Wilson:
Russell (6-2, 210), who was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 21, was an undrafted free agent out of San Diego State in 2001. He spent time with the Minnesota Vikings (2002-04), Cleveland Browns (2005-06) and Seattle Seahawks (2007-08) before playing nine games with Jacksonville this season. Russell recorded two defensive tackles and one special teams stop in the Jaguars' 31-24 victory over the Texans in Week 3 at Reliant Stadium.

Start him in 3 weeks
Seattle Seahawks: The only team in the NFL to trail 17-17 according to Dick Stockton.
I highly suggest reading this thread when we cut this joke of a safety

Well...
Seeing that kind of unanimous approval of a move is rare. And rather disheartening to those of who root for the team that just signed Russell.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
This is Russell in coverage....that was the most pissed off I ever was in a 4-12 season

I do not wish harm on any team (except Denver)
To ever get anyone as horrid as Brian Russell. He is possibly the worst FS to ever play football.
The last time the Seahawks went up against B-Russ was earlier this season…..the following happened:
Just clone Bernard Pollard or something.

Here's another option
Go back to Buffalo & clone Darius Byrd

Fuck that!
I still have hands. Only slightly less range than a fire hydrant, though.

Re: Stevens
Is that Matt in an electric wheelchair or Matt lying on the field hoping to trip someone who gets within arms reach?
Yay, sports.

There is not enough alcohol in the world to make me feel better about this
I could be dead of alcohol poisoning and partying in heaven, and I would still feel horrible about this. Or, if there is no afterlife, I would completely cease to exist – except for the feeling of horror and misery over the signing of Brian Russell.
Fucking Christ.
Fuck, fuckity, fuck fuck fuck.
If Monday night didn’t mark the end of our season, then this most certainly does. Reading this news is about what I’d imagine it’s like to test positive for AIDS.
Well, duh...
it’s clearly my fault for taking McNair’s name in vain.
(Or, more accurately, for pointing out how his nap ended.)
Yay, sports.

If this guy is Matt Stevens reincarnated
then what’s wrong with going with Busing until Quin can get coached up at SS? When Quin is ready at SS, move McCain up to nickel, and Bennett/Molden at the dime.

Doh, make that FS, how could I forget that Pollard is the best SS we've ever seen here
Quin’s combination of coverage and tackling should translate to FS, right? Sure Reeves and Quin are our best 2 CB’s right now, but we still have Dunta for the next 6 games. Hopefully the new guy Russell never sees the field.

You mean other than the fact that Busing is terrible?

I really can’t imagine GQ would be much worse, and at least has the potential to get better as the season goes on.
Yet with that...
We lost our best CB. Guess it depends on what you value most, but if Busing or Barber see any time at safety, we’re going to start giving up 60+ yard TD runs again. I’d rather just have ten men on the field; at least you avoid penalties that way.
The dropoff after Wilson was injured was regrettably noticeable
but what other options did we (or do we now) have? I like both Quin and McCain’s athleticism and feel if we get both of them out there as much as possible, then we will do better than with Busing, Barber or Russell.

There is no reincarnation
He is in a world of suck on his own.

Matt Stevens was really bad
and he got a ring with the Patriots.

I take it the Russell to Jags experiment was as bad as expected?
Considering he’s the reason Chris Johnson looked like Barry Sanders in that one game.

Very badly
He’s horrible, absolutely horrible. You hawk fans told us what to expect and it happened.

Hawks fan here.
Please start him when Seattle comes to town so we might actually have a chance of keeping the game competitive until the first half ends.
Ouch, sorry Texans fans.
The butt tackle
Don’t feel too bad. Our FO thought this guy was a starting caliber safety for two years.

All I want for Christmas is Joe Haden, Eric Berry, and Nandamukong Suh in Seahawks blue.
How can you bag on a guy that tackles ass first?
To do so would be like poking fun of the losers at the Special Olympics to me.
SOBRIETY
It’s as if the coaching staff knew how hard it is to stay relatively sober, and now this?!. Fuck it, where’s the whiskey?
Why don't we just experiment with McCain at FS?
He’s got the speed to cover ground, Pollard is solid at SS, why not give him a chance there? At least we now know that we’re going for a FS in the first round of the draft.
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
I see several posts that feature BR getting Freight Trained!!
I’m delighted he’s off our roster (Jags). Please start him against us :-).
We'll give you Busing as a warm up...
then bring in BR for you to cement MJD’s road to Canton.
All we ask is that you break VY and/or CJ’s legs when next you meet.
