Discussion between Dan Durkin and Bernstein about prospects and how to potentially build a defense was interesting. Bernsy pointed out NFL is a copy cat league so will teams be begin building from the outside in on defense? Both determined it's an intriguing idea and could work.

I say no. Seahawks have arguably best corner in NFL and top-3 safety. Chancellor, Browner, Maxwell, Thurmond are all decent to above too. But, they gloss over Seahawks also having above average line in Bennet, Avril, Clemons, Bryant, Mebane etc. What I do take away from past Super Bowl champions is line pressure and safety that can clean up mistakes or ballhawk Reed, Pollard, Sharper, Goldson, Polamalu, Collins, Rolle is necessary.

Corners get all the press but I think safety is the key DB and what's needed.

The larger secondary has been in vogue for awhile now. As most of the WR's are bigger.

I think you still need one smaller, quicker DB in your secondary...guys like Tillman dont cover smaller WR's well, so you still need that guy on your team.

But a SS that can line up as a LB. Thats a Bonus.

I just want a LB that can lineup!

I feel very confident in saying the Packers have the worst inside linebackers and safeties in football, just awful.

The Seattle Blueprint is essentially the Lovie Blueprint. I think I mentioned this earlier in the playoffs. If they win the SB it will validate the Lovie philosophy. Run the ball successfully and have a great defense that can force turnovers.

Goddamn Hawg you are making me think about AJ Hawk. What a useless sack of formerly steroided shit he is. I swear I think he is smaller than most safeties.

I honestly can't tell you the last time I had a drink. You don't believe Seattle is doing what Lovie tried to do with the Bears?

Grand scheme yes. But you could copy Lovie D. It's nearly impossible to copy Seahawks defense.

Zizou - I watch San Fran's and Seattle ILB and Safeties and just laugh thinking the Packers aren't in the same area code when looking how much better they are than the Packers. It is very noticeable, and I don't know how fast you can get that fixed with the way they choose to go about with their player personnel.


NAS-

Just having a little fun. They just have better players, the Seahawks defense is really good, maybe historically.

Seattle's Defense is way too aggressive for Lovie.

A Seattle victory may convince some GM's that you can win a SB with defense.

If you have a cheap but effective quarterback like Russell Wilson you can probably think about copying it.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Kaepernick and Wilson happen to be the two lowest paid starting quarterbacks in the league.

I really see the key to winning in the league going forward to be this:
1) Future/Potential hall of fame quarterback.
2) Quality performer on a rookie deal with the lower the pick the better.

The rookie salary structure has really put great value on young quarterbacks.

Nah...this don't look like lovie anything...looks like the guy livie try to copy though, monte kiffen defense with tampa,

The Bears need to aim to be the Saints, not he Seahawks.

Saints defense was every bit as bad last year as this year's Bears. They made a quick fix but really didn't do anything that difficult. They are not dominating but pretty good with the offense driving the team.
