The Seahawks secondary was lacking intimidation last year. With no more Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor, and mostly without Earl Thomas, Seattle’s Legion of Boom simply had no boom. And the Legion has all disappeared. What Seattle currently has at safety is a good Bradley McDougald and a lot of unknown after that.
But wait, 12s. There is hope. General manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll understand that while getting safeties who can cover is great what really separated the Seahawks is the fear they would put in opposing receivers with the LOB’s physicality.
