We have one singular great player on defense, it’s not enough.  Going back to the Original post, would a guy like Bobby Wagner help?  Would you swap Pratt for Bobby Wagner ?  Whatever it was last year, something was off.

I’ll ask it differently.  Who is the leader of the defense? Hendrickson could be that guy, but it’s just not.  Doesn’t seem like his personality, but I could be way off.

Btw, not trying to argue, it’s just a discussion.

Maybe, but I doubt it.  As to Wagner specifically, yeah he can still play, even though he's on the tail end of an outstanding career.  He's been a West Coast guy for his entire career and likely wants to remain out there.  I can't see him coming to the mid West and feeling at home at all.  If he chooses to play this year, it will likely be because he loves the Seahawks.
