I'd be worried if Russell was. But he wasn't, so I'm not. He shrugged it off in his presser yesterday and I know that if he had legitimate concerns with his performance he'd have told us what he needs to work on.
Because we were running the ball so much, Russ had very limited chances to throw the ball, and when he did he missed a few, though a lot of these were in third down situations and ultimately killed our drive. When we're clutch on third down, drives are extended and Russ gets more opportunities to shred a defense.
Our offense is built as good as any to tire defenses; when Marshawn's not running around, Wilson is. But in order to do this then we need to be clutch on third down, and yesterday we weren't really. It's why we can go from looking like crap one week, to an offensive juggernaut the next, and then back again. It comes down to third down, and we weren't given much yesterday, a couple of missed throws on slants to marginally open receivers, not to mention in blustery conditions, with an injured Percy and #4 defense.
Saints played similarly too, and it's why by half time Brees' stat line was worse than Wilson's despite the fact they have the best catchers in the league. They had to open it up second half and it worked, let's not judge Wilson against Brees when they had entirely different game plans.
We've seen what Russ is capable of, and I'm ready to see it next week.
