Seahawks rookie defensive backs now ready for prime time

RENTON – No more baby steps. It’s time for Seattle Seahawks’ rookie defensive backs to spread their wings.

 

Cornerback Walter Thurmond and safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor all have played during critical moments this season, most notably Thomas as the starting free safety for Seattle.

 

And they’ve learned from their mistakes on the way.

 

“I think a classic example is Kam Chancellor,” Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said. “The first game we played New Orleans they ran a basic route, and they completed it for a first down in a critical third-down situation. This time, they threw the same route and he makes the play on it and breaks it up.

 

“So just that growth that those guys are getting by getting playing time, they’re really doing a good job.”

 

Heading into their first NFL postseason, the rookie moniker no longer applies.

 

“We’ve all had a lot of playing time and experience, and are pretty familiar with the game,” Thurmond said. “Guys have told us that once you keep going onto the playoffs the game gets a little bit faster, but I think that’s something we can adjust to on the fly.

 

“I just feel like we’re really comfortable and confident with the schemes out there we’re asked to play.”

 

All three are part of the “bandit” package Seattle used so successfully against Chicago in October, helping produce six sacks and a safety. Seattle’s defensive backs finished with 31/2 sacks that day, including two by veteran Lawyer Milloy.
