Russ does slide late a lot, AND he does take a lot of little jabs and elbows that could be deemed as roughing.
He also got a HUGE roughing call in the Rams game when Matthews hit him late.
So when will Russell get those calls? Never if he keeps doing his little hop slide late. You want the calls, slide earlier.
LOl I hate to bust y our and Tical bubbles, but he does not slide any later than any other QB in fact sometimes he slides earlier then them.. But please go ahead blame him for not getting obvious calls. Lets blame him for the fire sin Australia to. I expect that form Tical but some of you others are just pathetic.
I mean lets see if he slides early you will complain he left yards on the field, if he slides late you complain he is not getting the call, and I guess if he slid perfect to you, would complain about something else.
Given the SF announcers were saying he should be getting those call he was doing it right. But hey again lets not let facts get in the way of your false narratives, and thanks for feeding Tical anti Wilson campaign thats what we need, more factless hating on our players. Oh wait its not our players just our QB. IAL
Is this one of those "the league and refs hate us" things, or are you guys actually open to being objective about what's going on.
If you watch Russell, and most other naturally athletic mobile QB's, they also don't get the late hit slide calls.....and in Russell's case, he does slide late because he's trying to get every inch of yardage. He knows if he slides early the balls going to be marked back...........so he waits until the last second.
So the refs most of the time give the defender the benefit. Is there some funny business with an elbow or push here or there? Sure, but if it was my defense? I sure as hell don't want the refs calling that ticky tack shove.
Objectivity, you guys should check it out. It's very liberating. It allows you to watch the Hawks without freaking out every game thinking the whole world is against us for reason whatsoever.
