Seattle was interesting because they ran a lot of single high man and would drop Chancellor into the box and man up across the field. The best defenses can leave their base defense on the field in more situations, that is what makes them so hard to play against. I'm not saying they don't have sub packages, they just don't get caught as easily not having the right personnel.
Sure, there may be some rare instances, but do you really want the following:
1. A LB covering the other team's best tight end? How well did that work for us when we tried to do it?
2. A safety covering a slot guy?
You're just asking for trouble trying to use a "base" defense when the other team isn't truly in a base offense.
