[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 688845"] SEA and NE have similarities and differences. One similarity is they are both active in free agency and are good at it. The key difference is that NE is more a system team (like the Packers) whereas SEA is a play making team. The game Chancellor played against NE is a case in point. (It occurred to me check NFC DPOW after writing that last sentence...yup, Chancellor.) We could call him the Chancellor of the O-chequer, a stretched pun (my wife is groaning) that I'm sure you get. Seattle's D is built around the glue of Wagner and Thomas in the middle of the field, with the other guys swirling around them trying to make plays. They stick Chancellor in the box and just let him do his thing. The last time we saw something like that in GB was Woodson in 2010, and I suspect it was not planned so much as tolerated, in the vein of "no, no, no, yes!" I gotta say, Chandler's diving tackle from the backside at the goal line is a good a defensive play as you'll ever see. NE, on the other has dispensed, with players like Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins. It's not that NE thinks they are not good players; Belichick just doesn't want to pay top dollar for free-lancing that doesn't quite square with the system. NE has a TE/slot-centric system that is designed to exploit match-ups, mostly on the cheap compared to a WR/TE-centric system. If the best value propositions in market shift to WRs, though that's hard to envision, Belichick would switch the system back again. SEA's offense, again, is more a big play affair, especially with Lynch's retirement. They look bad in one series with fits and starts, strike with big plays the next. Another commonality is they don't like to invest a lot in the O-Line. It's a moneyball-type approach: in most seasons you could characterize their O-Lines as decent run blockers who won't appear very often on any Pro Football Focus list because their pass blocking is usually better than average, sometimes worse. So, a playmaking team stays fresh with fresh playmakers. A system team stays fresh by adapting the system to the resources that present good bargains. [/QUOTE]
