LOL December 26, 2022 and now we all can look back and see Russ and the entire media throwing Pete Carrol under the bus! Amazing to look back and see this for what it really was. Props to Pete and the coaching staff for keeping their mouths shut

ESPN gonna act like most of their analysts didn't chose the Cowboys to win

Wilson will lead the Seahawks to a division title this season and that's painfully obvious.

Dude is a real us Seahawks know we infamously would run the ball and then expect Russell to be magic in the fourth quarter when we were losing. Happy they are finally letting Russ COOK

[LessonsLife]

I had wondered about the origins of this and then there you have it. The AI suggests it as a video. We are being watched

[jackadragna]

Do you What Russell Wilson is cooking ?

[lionstigersbearsohmyanimal]

Pete’s been using Russ like a Nuclear Bomb in the fourth quarter for the first eight years of his career but Seahawks fans all know Russ is a Super Nova that should be unleashed on every play for the rest of his career.

There's a connection between suspiciously rlgged games and marketable qb's.

Chef Russ cooking secondaries left and right

[justicefelipe]

This aged badly but I think at the time it was definitely warranted. There were some games like the cowboy playoff game where Russ was on fire and it seemed like he still had training wheels on. Oh well at this point tho it’s completely flipped.

"Cook" - another slang word created by black folks and yall just now catching on.

[bensondewalt]

I hate that phrase. Ever since the media started using let Russ cook. It’s like your parents joining Facebook.

[marleywilson]

Let Russ cook probably came from Russell Westbrook

[actionjackson]

Origin: Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson had their own phrases leading to MVP wins, so Russ needs his.

[johnevans]

[leakynosestudios]

Don’t think he’d be able to cook since his stove is never running

[ianhawkes]
