When a safety plays well you don't hear his name. "Safety" is more than a clever name.

Is Kam not a safety?Heard is name a lot today.Basis4day":375uhqmn said:When a safety plays well you don't hear his name. "Safety" is more than a clever name.

uncle fester":3tk191g4 said:We were having the same discussion here. I was thinking of Bob Sanders who was amazing, then tailed off with injuries. He lasted into his 7th year. Earl's currently in his 7th. Kenny Easley lasted 7 years. Playing safety normally means a relatively short career.
Also, Earl has a young daughter and kids can change your outlook in the relative importance of things.
False. He has deep 3rd roughly half the time. There is an enormous difference between that and and a true single high safety. Kam plays deep 3rd about 15% of the time and they'll even go cover 2 sparingly. Earl is a cover 1 safety maybe 25% of the time at most, which is your single high that you're referring to. It's not a great defense to run though. You throw it in there here and there, but most teams don't just flat out run their defenses that way for good reason. It's dangerous no matter who your FS is.Basis4day":1s29djb9 said:Canhawks":1s29djb9 said:Is Kam not a safety?Heard is name a lot today.Basis4day":1s29djb9 said:When a safety plays well you don't hear his name.

As im sure you know Kam plays a hybrid role in the box. Earl is a true single high safety.
Take a look around online. He was saying some pretty concerning shit.NFSeahawks628":145ahorc said:The Breh":145ahorc said:He questioned his passion last year. I guess at this point it may be painfully, obviously a legit concern.
When was this? He questioned his own passion? Damn, thats not a good sign at all. I don't remember hearing about that but I may have missed it.
Wonder what would alter his passion for the game?... Only thought is the Kam situation maybe that hurt him more than we know. I know he was different after that.
Deep thinking I know but it's a thought.

Welcome to reality.
I love Earl. But he ain't right.

Crap like this is about the same as when I hear that Keuchly is physical at the POA. It's a damn lie.
That said, Earl was noticed about once today by most. He also had two decent tackles against Hyde that stopped them from longer gains. In coverage, you didn't see any passes completed in the deep middle. He had a pretty good game except for the one screw up on that angle, however severe.

My exact concern. I just don't see the same blitzkrieging dude.
Bobblehead":3caod7tg said:Still think he's worried about laying his shoulder into someone. You notice all his tackles seem to be arm swipes, not your Seahawk method of hit and wrapping up the player. Yeah, I think he's a little gun shy.
I'm on my phone, but ask yourself...what's the difference between cover 3 and cover 1.Basis4day":3rwbe4db said:vin.couve12":3rwbe4db said:False. He has deep 3rd roughly half the time.

I'd be happy to look at the stats that you're citing. Link?
