Virtually every top Super Bowl level defense the past decade or so has had a strong pass rush, some with average at best talent at corner (Giants and Steelers). In fact the only corner that I would say was really worthy of the praise they got this past decade was Charles Woodson during Green Bay's Super Bowl run. The Seahawks secondary gets a lot of attention but in truth the pass rush is likely making a lot of those guys look better than they are.

I can't totally blame them for the lack of safety as safety talent these past couple of years has been difficult to find for all 32 teams.

good point about corners, i mostly agree that a pass rush is a lot more important than corners. (assuming the pass rush actually gets there)

i can totally blame the FO for the safety failures thoo. our FO has put together the least talented safety tandem and corners of all 32 teams. the result is opposing QBs are feasting on us (minus henne).
