Yup, you can blame it on the terrible play calling and abysmal offensive lines, and the injuries they bequeathed, but Russ mechanics and field vision are fucked up right now. He has been unable to play consistently, to read the field consistently, to be accurate game in-game out.

The blame for that…I put on the coaches and personnel more than him…but that's where we are. Who knows if he can get that back.
