That was the year Seattle won the Superbowl blowing out Denver and Peyton Manning who had arguable one of the best offenses in the history of the league.

Yeah we're missing their Earle Thomas. Their most important piece will likely be played by Gaulden on the Panthers. Not quite the same level...

I'm pretty sure we are missing their entire secondary. Not sure any on our DB list would crack their starting lineup. Possibly as a nickel. I think we have the ability to be pretty decent secondary unit but that Legion on Boom unit was INSANE that year and for years after.

Honestly, Bradberry is tailor-made for Seattle's press and bail version of cover 3. Press is what he does best. Playing 10 yards off the LOS is what he does worst and seems to be what we ask of him the most.

I really like Bradberry as a physical corner.  If we can get away from the idea of Left and Right and go to the concept of matchups, having a Bradberry to pair with DJax gives us an excellent combination for our first two.

Absolutely. We have two corners who can both be very good at what they do, but their strengths and weaknesses are practically opposites. We can match up really well there against most teams if we actually match up. But if we play strict left/right then a lot of teams can move their WRs around to create major match up problems for us. Just look at N.O. for example. If they line up to create Ginn/Bradberry and Thomas/Jackson match ups... well, we better hope the pass rush gets home.

Where does he fit though? In Browner's spot?

Just now, Captain Morgan said:

actually he said the defensive front was comparable, not the whole defense.

"Speaking with Scott Fowler of The Charlotte Observer during minicamp, Irvin, unprompted, compared the Panthers' defensive line depth to the Seattle Seahawks' D that smothered teams en route to the Super Bowl XLVIII title."

 

 

That debate(whole defense) came from a comment here, not from what Irvin said.

      You know, there's something about this whole JAG thing that really just drives home the idea that to some folks, these players aren't real people, just names and stats.  Of course, it goes beyond sports. We're a sad, jaded species, us humans.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.
