I think DBs its all about communication and knowing what your team mate is going to do. When Seattle has Thomas Kam and Sherman together that's peak. They suffer with any piece removed. I think it's also why the other CB opposite Sherman is usually a guy groomed a bit in there system not a FA pick up (like Cary Williams experiment).
I agree that Earl is the most important. He is the best free safety in the league and no other player in the NFL can play the position the way he does. It's almost like the Darrelle Revis effect where the coach would put him on an island, it changes how you can gameplan your defense. Thomas allows Seattle to play single high safety and not be afraid of getting destroyed deep. Part of it of course is knowing you have Sherman on one side so Thomas can cheat a bit, but I think he opens up the scheme to more possibilities and that's what makes the ultimate difference beyond the voice or veteran leadership, which I think all 3 guys mentioned bring to the table. Also I won't ever say that Sherman doesn't allow this to an extent as well, but I think with Thomas it's more pronounced
Last thing is that it's really hard to gauge a players value to a team when they're not the only big time guy. We have seen Seattle without Kam. We are about to see them without Earl. we have yet to see them without Sherm

Man, Pete Carroll is trying to turn into Andy Reid out there. He's an excellent coach but the game management last night was pretty astounding. I'm not sure how you can throw 3 challenge flags before halftime and they were all on ball spots. You can't do that against good teams, fortunately for them the Rams suck ass.
And then you have the goal line scenario that happened. They gave the ball to Rawls, he ran them down to the 2, and they never gave him the rock again. Most startling is that they dialed up a pass play on third down after their first down play was almost picked off. It's like he forgot about the Superbowl, jesus christ
The fact the abilities do nothing, but it's a 12/12 blue 2 drop... instant $1,000+ cardOriginally Posted by Da Gyps

Damnit I knew I should have picked the Bengals. We only win when I want us to lose. We will win out, miss playoffs and still get a shitty draft pick.
is there a team that receives turnovers at critical junctions more frequently than the giants?
