OXNARD, Calif. – It must have been a great feeling for Ryan Russell to walk off the practice field and hear something nice.
It’s been a long-running joke throughout training camp that the rookie defensive end is the favorite target of defensive coordinator. When Marinelli begins screaming, it’s a good bet that No. 99 is at fault.
However bad it might sound, the fifth-round pick said it’s easy to see the positive in the situation.
“I mean, you have to definitely listen to the message. Sometimes it’s not how it’s said, but the fact that he’s on me so hard means he expects a lot from me, he sees a lot in me,” Russell said.
