Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson set for first ‘chess match’ as opponents
LA TimesThey spent 10 years on the same team, reading each other from across the line of scrimmage during hundreds of practices. Six-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner and nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson helped the Seattle Seahawks win a Super Bowl and four NFC West titles. Wagner said this week that the matchup would be “an upgraded version” of a noncontact workout in Seattle, in which the pace was full speed but the hitting was not. “He said I would never catch him, so we’ll see.” Wagner, 32, has been one of the lone bright spots for the defending Super Bowl-champion Rams, who were officially eliminated from playoff contention in Monday’s 24-12 defeat by the Green Bay Packers. “A lot of the trash talk would be like, ‘You lucky you have a red jersey on, we can’t touch you,’ ” Wagner said, referencing the color that denotes hands-off for defensive players.
