As a casual NFL (Saints) fan should I be excited?
I know he was amazing in college, so I'd be excited for that type of impact. But I have not followed how he's done in the pros.

He's been injured a lot, and has been pretty underwhelming since his rookie season. He had effort issues in SF, which should have been the perfect situation for him.
I hope he goes out and lives up to his potential, but he doesn't seem to be the same guy. I hope he proves me wrong. He's one of my favorite players in the NFL.
He’s a good player. Good against the run. OK pass rusher. Lost a step due to injuries after his first NFL season so isn’t a dominant pass rusher like we was in college or his first year in Washington.

I love how quickly the media has pivoted on Russ. You'd think he hadn't just been cut by a team that needs a QB and was willing to eat the largest dead cap hit in the history of the league just to get rid of him before his extension even started just to not have a QB.
Yes ESPN, I'm sure he can be elite in Pittsburgh. No doubt! lol

NFL officials back hip-drop tackle rule change
NFL officials responded Thursday to protests over a proposal to outlaw a version of the "hip-drop tackle," a technique the league says has resulted in an injury rate that is up to 25 times higher than on tackles when it is not employed.
I don’t know about this, man. I understand why they want to remove the hip-drop tackle, but in practice it seems a little more nuanced… at what point does the NFL accept that injuries will occur in such a violent game? Are people getting concussed during this tackle?

Like roughing the passer, targeting. Okay.
But this?

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
Can't wait to lose a game to the Saints because a Falcons defender made a tackle on 4th down, thereby turning the ball over. However his tackle was flagged for hip drop, we lose 15 yards and NOLA kicks a game winner
Y'all can whine all you want, but I watched that fuckface Lamont Wade almost take Justin Fields out with a bullshit hip drop tackle. Fuck tackling like that.
