It absolutely sucks that Russell Wilson was injured on a freakish play against the Los Angeles Rams a week and a half ago. It sucks that he’s on Injured Reserve and isn’t eligible to come off IR until after the Seahawks’ Week 9 bye.
However, his injury and subsequent unavailability has given me a deeper appreciation of him. Or, more specifically, of his single-minded focus, his ultra-competitive nature, and the fact that he clearly bleeds blue and green.
It started with reports last week that he was throwing the ball left-handed at practice.
