In a time when NFL teams are trying to stay even with the latest trends, Seattle seems to be a step ahead. What I mean is that a few years ago, Seattle went away from the trend of smaller, quicker corners and went after tall, long armed cb's instead. While most teams are using tall wr's, Seattle continues to target short, fast ones. I don't know the avg height of QB's but it's obvious RW is well below that number. Prototypical LB: it seems that when most pundits talk about LB's they talk about weight and holding up against large blockers in the run game; Seattle? long, lean with an emphasis on fast. Our d-line, massive ends who aren't especially quick and shorter interior guys.
Not to mention our schemes: how many power running games do you hear about? In a time when most teams talk about their blitz packages and how many they have, Seattle probably blitzes as little as anyone.
Is this where some of success has come from, being different from everyone else? I could go toe to toe with anyone about basketball stuff, but football is a little different for me. Am I on track or not? Are there other areas people see that I didn't touch on?
