When the Seahawks defense was really humming in the early mid-part of this decade, a huge reason for the team’s success was the secondary. Of course, 12s all know the nickname for Kam Chancellor and company was the Legion of Boom. But there hasn’t been a lot of “boom” from the secondary the last couple of seasons.
Seattle isn’t without secondary talent on the current roster, but all of the original members of the LOB are gone. Chancellor is no longer there to intimidate opposing receivers, Richard Sherman isn’t taking half the field away and Earl Thomas isn’t playing centerfield keeping quarterbacks from going deep against the Seahawks.
