I'm liking what the Seahawks have going on now: a positive, high character leader driving the offense and the NFL's l'enfant terrible defining the defense. Sort of a Lattimore/Swearinger duo.

I think that's a great mix.



Good point. I think your defensive leader should be a brash, cocky a-hole (on the field/mic only...). I think some of the problems with this years defense was we didn't have a natural brazen go getter. Clowney seemed like he was going to take that lead with his comments at media days, and Hampton could be cocky at times, but neither seemed to really own it. I hope someone next year can step up to take up the mantle.

We'll also need someone to take over Shaw's calm demeanor on the offensive side as well. If we get those figure heads established it could be a fun year.

We lost that leader when Swearinger went to the NFL, Swearinger was the heart and soul of that defense and that's why we struggled so much at the beginning of the year on defense.

Swearinger was that natural leader from the secondary and played with the type of brash confidence any great leader does.
