D Russ is a bum. He gets a second chance with the Skins and he just blows it off, he's lucky to have yet another shot. But of course with guys like him it's always the same story. If you are a talented but troubled player you'll get the second and third and even fourth chances that other lesser talented guys won't get. Each team hopes and prays they can "turn around" the troubled player, but how many times does it actually happen?
Cris Carter is the only good example I can think of off hand that was able to turn his career around. Other than that you have a bunch of guys like Jeff George, Daryl Gardener and now Darrell Russell.
Maybe being reunited with his old coach Gruden will help him, maybe Gruden knows how to get inside his head? I doubt it but who knows.
