RENTON — It was the question up for debate after the Seahawks’ 38-10 loss against the Green Bay Packers: Did the Seahawks struggle defensively because they didn’t have safety Earl Thomas?
Seahawks defensive coordinator Kris Richard offered a direct opinion on Tuesday and praised Thomas’ replacement, Steven Terrell.
“Our mistakes were not because Earl was not out there,” Richard said. “Obviously, it would be great to have him out there. He’s been a huge part of our defense. But, no, it was not the reason. Steven Terrell was out there in that spot and did a great job for us.
