The announcer said that Russ is not reading the defense.

He was right, Russ was NOT reading the defense. The issue is that this isn't new and it wasn't due to him coming back from his finger injury like he suggested. He's been playing like that for a season and a half.
When defenses didn't sit two safeties deep on him every play or when he's got Lockett out there playing school yard ball, he looks great. Otherwise, he throws into virtually the exact same double coverage every third or fourth pass attempt looking for his money play.
Russ has always been a “backyard” football player.Sgt. Largent":1azobps6 said:Russell's own comments after the game completely contradicting Tyler Lockett's comments might be the most damning indictment about this topic there is.
Lockett said that defenses are doing different things against their offense then they're seeing on film (and it's been that way going back to last year), and then Russell says not 10 minutes later he's having no problems recognizing what defenses are trying to do.
Considering every series is painful to watch as Russell struggles to even get a couple first downs, I tend to believe Tyler.

He has never been great at reading and dissect the defense.
That isn’t who he is and who he will ever be.

Also, the play he said it, was the screen to dallas that he dropped. That is call russ isn't going to change. He is just going to run it. The fact that dallas dropped it is on dallas. That's all.
Your guys fault for feeding into BS.

Yeah a guy who's job it was to call a defense as a MLB doesn't know what a QB is looking at.
Need to lay off the Bong hits and Mixing Alcohol, not a good look for you.

Nope he didn't and that's why he isn't there anymore...
Haven't smoked in 15 years, but you right. Coming from a guy with a dumb ass monkey as his avatar.

Yep he was nothing.
At least I can figure out how to have one
