From another one of RS blogs.

"It means so much to me to be on this defense for a 5th year now. Guys may come and go but LOB is as strong as ever, and this entire team is ready to bring another Super Bowl title to Seattle. We won't accept anything less as a success. Can’t wait to see all you 12s out at CenturyLink field in a couple weeks, but first we got to go on the road against the Rams and Packers. I promise you this team is doing everything we can to make sure SB48 was not a fluke. We want to build an even richer history here... now. "


I love that guy.We are lucky to have the people on this team that we do. It's a great time to be a Seahawk fan.

I thought it was kind of interesting the way he emphasized "the need to continue improving each week," in particular mentioning the addition of Marcus Burley at nickel. I wonder if he was surprised by the release of Will Blackmon, someone who obviously had a lot of experience playing with the LOB.

Blackmon has only been here for two off-seasons and pre-season and missed the cut both times.

Burley has been here for an entire season plus this last off-season and pre-season.

Blackmon seems like a fun dude and probably was a great friend to those guys but Burley and Blackmon both have about the same experience within the system.

Seahawks probably could have kept either or for the NCB job but I think Carroll has cited Burley has a solid special teams contributor.
