My theory on Russ is he's wilting before our very eyes, and it's not just a fast erosion of his physical skills.
For a decade Pete and this organization shielded Russ against all criticism, in and outside of the locker room. They never held him accountable, and they put on the biggest kid gloves in franchise history when it came to criticizing him.
Well my friends, that's GONE. ALL GONE.
He's now being hammered from all sides, nationally and now internally with his own teammates, fanbase and Denver media.......and his thin skin can't handle it. He's literally gripping and choking before the nation's eyes.
