ntpou Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I just saw who was available. Darrell Russell ( Radiers ) This is a Low investment High reward DT. Surround him with the Lewis's staff and watch him tear up the opposing OL. I just think we need to take a chance on him. Because he is still young 6'6 305 DT thats quick. I know he got busted with weed on him but everyone makes mistakes. Worst case he dosen't pan out & we cut him. Can't be any worst than what Dillion put us thru this year.I think he was a top 5 pick and has to be around 25 y/o came out of USC. I think sometimes you need to take a CHANCE.Let me hear what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kchrpm Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Sounds good to me, extra meat to take up what we lose in the smaller MLB Webster.I'm no expert, though, all I know about him is what you just said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkendall Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 This guy is a ticking bomb. He was arrested in suspicion of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman. Russell was charged with 8 counts of rape by drugs, six counts of oral copulation; all were later dropped because prosecution couldn't produce a video tape that originally implicated Russell. Russell also tested positive for Ecstasy along with weed. He's a repeat offender for the drug and substance abuse policy and has been suspended as such. Marvin would definitely have to leave his opinion on character to think about signing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishcovga Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I have to agree with Kirk on this one.. Although I would love to be able to line him up next to Thornton... He's just to risky to risk..I watched his interview 2 years ago with Jim Rome and Rome was asking him, how come you didn't do this.. how come you didn't do that..?? The only responses were I don't know..?He was asked.. what about the drugs ... how did you test positively 3 or more times... ? he said ....I don't know.. I don't take drugs...Rome went to commercial....same thing we should do with the thought of Russell coming to town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richmond_mat Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 If he was 6'6'' and weighed 405 I might think about signing him, but he's not. 6'6'' and 305 sounds a little lean. From what you all know about him I'd say his nfl days are numbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
