SEATTLE -- Tedric Thompson has a requisite skill for any defensive back: a short memory.
That's why the Seattle Seahawks' free safety wasn't interested in the redemption angle after making an acrobatic interception that had Twitter raving late in Thursday's 30-29 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Nor did he think the play will provide a needed boost to his confidence.
"I mean, it gave me confidence," he said, "but I had confidence before that interception."
Coach Pete Carroll and the Seahawks have had much more confidence in Thompson than a vocal segment of the team's fan base.
