The part of Lynch's story, where the coaching staff let Wilson sit out alone in the locker room and forbid players to speak to him, to me says a lot. It sounds like Russ was pretty buddy-buddy with the coaching staff and got preferential treatment and protection, especially when he couldn't handle playing poorly. Doesn't sound like he liked the heat but loved the attention when he played well. I also heard he was pissed the last year in Seattle because Pete stopped letting him throw air balls up for 3 picks a game, and he was upset it would affect his campaign for an MVP. Makes a lot of sense the way he acted last year with the Broncos before he got humbled. He seems to be selfish. Doing high-knees on the London flight while the rest of your teammates are trying to sleep. Sounds like an egotistical dude.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

During the discussion Marshawn illuminated that a lot of the wonky issues that surrounded Russ were enabled and grew into being more problematic because of the way that staff on the team and Pete Carroll handled Russ. He points out how he couldn’t get Russ’s number and how he had reached out to somebody working for the team to get the number and that instead of being given the number he was told that Russ would call him. And then Russ called him from a blocked number. Staff of the team should’ve made a lot of effort to communicate to Russ how much something like that would disillusion him with his teammates. But even more then that Marshawn speaks about how Carroll treated Russ differently and instructed everybody on the team to treat him differently than everybody else got treated. Nobody could call him out or hold him accountable for anything but had to go to Pete with anything and then Pete would talk to Russ. Obviously if that’s the process Pete isn’t going up to Russ with any blunt assessments to hold him accountable like he did everybody else. And even if he was doing that you’ll still have issues if the coach holds everybody else accountable in front of the entire team while he does so privately with Russ. Handling somebody that way guarantees they’re not going to be a good teammate and ensures there will be some level of resentment against him. Nobody ever heard about it because Pete prevented it from coming out because he spent so many years insulating Russ from things that everybody else had to deal with. It was only when they fell out and Pete didn’t continue insulating Russ that the issues coaches and the team had with him began to flow out to the public. But as much of a goof as Russ seems like he may be I can’t fully blame him for the way he is because everybody let it happen for years instead of nipping it in the bud ASAP. You can’t handle somebody with kid gloves for a decade and then suddenly try to handle them normally or be surprised that constant coddling and being told you do no wrong and that every issue is somebody else’s fault results in a dude having an ego like he seems to have developed at the end. He’s responsible for what he does as everyone is but it’s also important to remember that the behaviors you allow or encourage play their role and deserve criticism as well. There’s always something to be said about putting people in situations to succeed and the way Pete handled Russ there locked in that eventually there’d be problems.

[@richarde1355]

@Matt-cr4vv we will disagree. We heard Marshawn say something differently about Pete and Russ, and how Pete treated Russ. I believe Pete does a masterful job of allowing hugely divergent and different personalities to be who they are yet make a team out of these men. Witnessing Russ’s performance issues at Denver, many people now say “Hey, wait a minute, perhaps much of Russ’s success was a large part Pete Carroll and the system and players Pete and John Schneider put around him.” Pete started Russ as a rookie after the Seahawks dropped coin to woo Matt Flynn to Seattle. Check out the success of Geno Smith; to say he had a successful last year is a huge understatement. It was, by far, his most successful NFL year. Just after the Wilson trade, I saw a ranking of NFL quarterbacks and Drew Lock and Geno were the bottom two. Bottom. Pete gave both guys equal opportunity to become the starter and Pete steadfastly said Geno, with many people second-guessing that choice. Geno flourishes on a team where Russ had problems. Why? Geno bought into the system and what the coaches wanted. A rookie and young Russell Wilson becomes super successful; why? He bought into the system and what the coaches wanted. A team is more than the sum of its parts. The Super Bowl Seahawks had some amazing - sons mercurial - players on that team. Many went to other teams and did well, some OK. But they never did as well as when Pete coached them. Like Phil Jackson did with the Chicago Bulls and the Lakers, a successful professional coach has to be able to work with such a huge and wildly diverse set of egos, personalities, work ethic, and physical talent to create a successful team. Such a vastly under-recognized talent and skill.

Someone correct me, I don't think Marshawn said Russ was a bad teammate. Russ just doesn't kick it outside work hours and doesn't give co-workers his phone number. I had teammates in college who we worked well together but I spent as little time as possible with them. The bigger issue is that Carroll gave Russ special treatment. That's bad leadership and you can't really put it on someone for accepting special treatment. Which one of us would turn down a bonus at work if the manager said you're the only one in the department getting the bonus? People need to remember this is their job, not a random game.

Russ isn't necessarily easy to hate, but he's hard to root for.

[@LanceG007]

Completely disagree,he’s very easy to root for

[@According_To_Matt]

@LanceG007 his play has declined and his personality appears to be completely fabricated.

[@Bobby-di1ve]

Why

[@bevelinternational7527]

​@MAC11224 just a square guy. I think it's disgusting how Payton feels he can berate him on the sideline after a bad play.... Qbs always get special treatment...aint new. Russ was a 3rd round pick and found his way to being a part of 2 superbowl appearances. I don't like the narrative. Marshawn has had off field issues... Sherm has had off field issues Payton is a cheater and the most overrated 1 ring coach ever... But these guys can throw stones at russ...? Guy said he he has to stop acting like he's running for president...but isn't that what u want from a ceo of the business .aka qb. I don't like it. It smells of hate and him getting slander for being uppity ....... This is a probowler...superbowl winner...I've never seen it since Ditka and McMahon

[@EnriqueGavel-m8d]

A lot of former Seahawks players have been saying that recently. There has to be something to it especially because Russell Wilson sucks now.

I agree 💯 with your opinion of Marshawn. I'm fortunate to call myself a Seahawks fan since '76. Marshawn is my absolute favorite Seahawk of all time. He's a different kinda football player. This story made me decide to go watch Lynch videos. I think fans forget what kind of runner and teammate he was. He's the king.

[@abhi5ingh]

Now you know why Russ got booed when he came back to seattle. The legion of boom where the first to come out and speak on the special treatment that he got. I’m glad this is finally being brought into the light.

He didn't say he was a bad teammate literally he just said itt didn't go to cool and because Pete didn't hold him accountable and that rubbed his teammates the wrong way!! So please don’t exaggerate what he said cause you ain’t feeling Russ!! Marshawn told enough without digging dude another hole so don’t make it seem more than what it is for views!!

he didn't use the words "bad teammate" but he gave multiple examples of him being a terrible teammate especially as a qb.

[@yoitmeree]

Seahawks not running the ball making a lot more sense

[@teamdinosaurs999]

If you guys want to learn more about how the seahawks team chemistry was listen to Doug Baldwin's interview on the KJ Wright podcast. You'll understand that the 2012-2014 seahawks were like a brotherhood... They played hard for each other but it was all about accountability and pushing each other to perform at an elite level. Once Pete undermined that by telling them that Russ was not to be held accountable by them... they lost belief in Pete and everything they had worked so hard for.

[@Austin.Kilgore]

Held accountable for what? And how exactly did they “hold people accountable”?

[@teamdinosaurs999]

[@yung_twizzler1199]

Beastmode did say in the interview that he didnt want to say negative things because he didnt want to come off some type of way. I agree. I never really would've imagined Beast being how he genuinely is but man. Mad respect for the dude. Always being him. Through it all. That's what's up.

[@jayclark1551]

Honestly I think Russ was scared of Marshawn. I think Russ was intimidated by a lot of his old teammates. On the field it was fine because he could just be that “movie character” but off the field you actually gotta talk to people and have a personality.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Marshawn talks about how Pete told everybody not to go to Russ directly with any criticism. Everybody was told to go to Pete who would talk to Russ. Scared or not Russ was coddled to such an extreme that it’s somewhat surprising for me that there weren’t public issues sooner. Pete may have began that with good intent but it dooms you to fail if you never let a guy be held accountable

[@JaredBruski]

​@@Matt-cr4vvyeah kind a develops a weird hierarchy trip too, like if you dont get a proper ego check you start to think you're above the criticism. Criticism isn't bad all the time, and I doubt criticism from Beast Mode would be anything other than constructive. The call to not have players approach Russell Wilson kinda disconnects a QB from the team that needs to have that 100% trust in him.

Why would you want to criticize your own QB in practice? Sounds like Carrol was dealing with some world class psychos.

how can you read the records of marshawn duis and hit and run arrests and charges, and still think russel is a bad person compared to marshawn. marshawn isn’t a bad person, he has made mistakes and could’ve killed someone on the road if he didn’t fix them, but he’s not a better person than russel.

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

Running back peaks are so tragically short. Terrell Davis was Super Bowl MVP and league MVP in back to back years, and that was it for his health. Marshawn played a little longer but 2014-15 was his absolute peak. Hearing what you hear from this interview, the Seahawks let ego, bias, and predetermined narrative dictate who got that ball on the 1-yard line and it wasn't going to be Marshawn. He couldn't be the MVP, the hero, the reason for the season, even though it was Marshawn who got them the 1st and goal, even though the Patriots frontline was cooked, even though Marshawn was at Terrell Davis levels of play. They wasted the last year of his prime.

[@summerallthetime2616]

It makes since to USUALLY throw the ball there because there’s one timeout. They probably only had time to run it three times so throwing it once usually makes since, but not with the run game being nearly unstoppable and if you do pass not a pass down the middle

[@tommyfu9271]

i think Caroll honestly thought it was the best play call. let's be honest- the 99+ percent of the time he doesn't throw an interception nobody is talking about it. Was it the right play call? no. but people see the result then jump on it. it happens all the time in sports. if he throws a td everyone would say it was a great call the Patriots expected a run blah blah. It's it's an incomplete pass it's forgotten about. The sub 1 percent chance thing happens so then everyone says it was the worst call ever. it's all horseshit.

[@SuperTerminatorFred]

I’m sorry but I’m getting sick of the constant hate on Russ. He helped win a Super Bowl and helped bring them back. This is just all so petty and personal.

I dont think thats called being a bad teammate. Maybe he’s just like any other coworker who doesn’t get too personal on the job. At the end of the day you can’t force friendships. Same goes for Pete. He treated Russ like some bad bosses do giving them preferential treatment creating a toxic environment. 🤷‍♂️
