I thought this thread on Reddit was great. It seems like Pete and John knew that and wanted to build a defense that hinged on an amazing safety (or two) rather than building an offense based on a QB or building a defense based on a pass rusher.

A good GM/Coach builds their team on their best players, don't they?

We were fortunate that Diphead McDaniels traded his team's 1st rounder in the 2010 draft for our 2nd round pick in 2009 that allowed us to select Earl with the 14th pick... that, and Earl has absolutely held up his end of the deal as a Seahawk getting better and better every year.

Love me some Earl. :th2thumbs:
