Hate to break this to you Broncos Country. His nickname is DangeRuss, but the most hazardous duty quarterback Russell Wilson should pull during a preseason game is to sit in the stands and eat popcorn.“You always have to look it as risk-reward,” Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said.
Football warriors from the rub-some-dirt-on-it era of hard knocks look at the way NFL teams prepare for the season these days and wonder when the game got softer than the meringue on your granny’s lemon chiffon cake. “Football has changed, certainly because of the concussion issue, the safety issues and the amount of money that guys are making in guaranteed contracts,” Gradishar said. “The last four or five years, I have tried to turn on the Pro Bowl and watch that. But they don’t even tackle anybody anymore. The rules have changed, just like our society changes.”
But it is reasonable to wonder how well this pitty-pat football in the preseason will prepare the Broncos for their season opener, when they travel to Seattle and 72,000 fans will be screaming for the Seahawks to crush Wilson into the Sumatra Roast ground daily by their favorite barista at Starbucks.
