Earl Thomas to be more aggressive

The article is a day old, but I didn't see it posted anywhere, so here it is.

So this year, with a cornerback unit led by Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner (when healthy), Thomas decided to play closer to the line of scrimmage.

“It’s about being real aggressive in the middle instead of baby-sitting the corners,” Thomas said. “Why should you baby-sit corners when you have good corners like that? My first three years, I left a lot of plays out there in the middle just because I was so worried about getting over there for Sherm or BB. But now that’s not the case.”

I like hearing this. I think it will result in ET being a bigger playmaker for us this year, instead of just a pass deterrent.

That's what it's all about; trusting you teammates!
