Has R. W. had any kind of influence on the other back-up QBs

[scutterhawk]

Has Jackson or Quinn drawn from what Russell Wilson brings to the game?
Have either or both of these players adopted some of Wilsons study and work habits, or is the fact that our ground pounders have a big share of the Seahawks game strategy.
Surly Cable has been hard at work fitting the O-line to be successful in both aspects of the game.
If you can succeed in keeping the Defenses off balance, it sure seems a better Offensive option than teams like the Patriots, or Packers, yet both of those teams have had a lot of success in primarily using the passing game.
My guess is that Pete has guns on both hips for the shoot-outs that the Seahawks will be facing this Season and beyond.
I'm seeing that with RW's savvy and TJ sliding into the #1 backup QB role, (I'm not seeing BQ taking it away from Jackson) the Seahawks can go either way, or both, with any other team in the League, with huge successes, or am I not firing on all cylinders with this assessment?

I'll bet Jackson gives much helpful advice to Wilson and Wilson gratefully takes it.

I said it in another thread, I thought TJ's scramble looked much more Russelesque than I ever seen him before. TJ looked smoother on the move, keeping his eyes downfield looking to throw rather than just take off running ala Wilson though RW still does it much better. I really do think TJ is benefiting from spending time w/ RW in the film room and on the field. I feel much more comfortable w/ him as a quality backup now than ever.

Quinn, not so much.

RW had an influence on NE signing Tebow for the practice squad.......

Well, he hasn't been getting them to smoke crack after practice, as far as I know.

Golden Tate said the other day that Russell's work ethics have had an effect on the entire team.

Smoking rock doesn't make you a bad person?

The answer is "no", but will be yes with Russell. It'll be the opposite of Manning, the entitled brat, is also legendary in his work ethic. But, his brattiness outweighed everything. Wilson will just show how to "work".

He leads by example, exactly what a leader should do. It also seems like a lot of the players on both sides of the ball talk about him all the time. He's impressive for sure. On that Seahawks yearbook, there's a part when they are showing the Bears game, and Kam talks about him on the sidelines about how special Russell is, and how he's gonna' get them to the end zone etc. Love that kind of stuff, he's the type of player that others want to play harder for. No way can anyone convince me that Bears players want to play hard for a guy like Cutler. Certain guys are leaders, that affect people around them, and others are the exact opposite.

One thing Russell already has in common with Peyton, they both include themselves with the coaching staff when they talk about personnel. Stuff like "we like what we are seeing from so and so..."

I think I told you once how I think Russell has a lot more Type A Do IT MY Way to him than it looks at first glance. I don't even think Russell thinks of MY way, I think Russell thinks there is only one right way, Hard Work. Manning? He is definitely a MY way guy.

I loved that story you told me (for those interested it was with a glass of merlot in front of the fire).

Manning's the rich, coaches son we all played with in Pop Warner who cried after every loss, missed tackle, interception, coach molestation, anything. We all played with that type.

Yeah hate those guys......

Some jokes are funny - others are just way to far over the line
