Russell always struck me as one of those "built like Tarzan, play like Jane" types, albeit he had ability. Marty Leslie mentioned earlier had it so far over DR for toughness that neither of them should ever be mentioned in the same sentence.
That is my memory too. Leslie was tough as nails and shouldn't be compared to Russell who I always thought was a bit of a marshmallow
