Seahawks – Karlos Dansby?

    There is one issue, obviously, with the Seahawks’ rumored interest in Dansby — it’s projecting him to Seattle’s 4-3 scheme. Brock Huard talked about the possibility of the Seahawks adding Dansby in free agency the other day, and didn’t seem sold on the schematic fit:

    Karlos Dansby is a 3-4 inside linebacker and the Seahawks are a 4-3 front. But, I love him. I wish he could be here. He is a Seahawk. Certain players — I’ve talked to scouts about this –€” and we talked to Daniel Jeremiah about the “Ravens’ Way,” he was a scout there, there are just Ravens players — you go to games, “oh, yep, that’s a Ravens’ player,” I try to do this every time I’m on a campus somewhere, “that’s a Seahawks player.”

    Karlos Dansby is a Seahawks player. He is so smart, he is so instinctive. He is to the ball, he is all about the ball. He was a real force when Arizona gave you a really tough time (in 2013), in fact the first team to beat you in your own building a couple of years ago, but unfortunately Karlos Dansby is a 3-4 inside linebacker. As much as I would love him, as much as he would add depth and veteran savvy that that linebacking corps needs, he’s not a SAM, he’s not an on-ball player, you’ve got Bobby and you’ve got KJ, and I don’t think financially you’ll have room for Karlos Dansby.

    Dansby was an All-Pro in 2013, and is 34 years old. The obvious question, as Huard points out, would be: Where would the Seahawks see him playing?
