(SportsNetwork. Bobby Cox Braves Jersey .com) - In the salary-cap era of the NFL, its all about allocating assets and one of the major reasons the Seattle Seahawks are preparing to play in their second straight Super Bowl stems from the fact that they hit on quarterback Russell Wilson in the third round of the draft. Instead of having to invest eight figures at the games most important position, Seattle paid Wilson a little less than $700,000 in 2014, meaning it could earmark significant dollars to other positions and build perhaps the deepest roster in all of football. That dynamic that will be changing rather quickly, however. Wilsons rookie deal expires in 2015 and the two Super Bowl appearances in three seasons means that eight figures is on the horizon for the third-year pro in the offseason with some speculating he will end up as the highest paid quarterback in the game at least until the Colts Andrew Luck cashes in. As the most playoff-tested signal caller in NFL history, the Patriots Tom Brady made just under $15 million for his work in leading New England to its record-tying eighth Super Bowl appearance so the Pats are well-versed on how to build a roster around a leading man who has already cashed in his chips. And one of the major tenants of that philosophy is the act of the strategical strike in free agency -- when you think youre close to the Lombardi Trophy, target a difference maker. The Patriots did exactly that in the offseason by signing veteran cornerback Darrelle Revis after he was released by Tampa Bay, inking the star to a two- year backloaded deal. In Revis first season in Foxborough, he delivered in a big way as the lockdown corner capable of eliminating one side of the football field, while enabling Bill Belichick and defensive coordinator Matt Patricia to be much more inventive with their various blitz and coverage schemes. The four-time All-Pro amassed 47 tackles with two interceptions and 14 passes defensed as the Patriots finished the regular season 12-4 with their latest AFC East crown. The divisional round against Baltimore proved to be Revis toughest game of the season, largely because the Ravens Steve Smith is one of the few receivers in football who can outphysical the Pitt product. Revis rebounded, though, in the AFC Championship Game as he picked off Luck during the Patriots 45-7 rout. Although the Pats are semi-regulars in the big game, this is Revis first trip and he brings an added dimension which makes New England a far more well- rounded team. Everything is surreal right now, Revis said of reaching the Super Bowl for the first time. Actually Im asking some of the guys who have been here thats on this team, You know, whats the process? Vince (Wilfork) has been helping me. (Devin McCourty) has been helping me. Even (ex-Seahawk Brandon) Browner. Im just trying to go about the process the best way I can. Revis will be tackling that process as perhaps the best man-to-man coverage corner in the game. Opponents often assume Belichick will just lock Revis up with their best receiver but the Pats coach is usually a step ahead and he could use Revis to shadow a lesser threat while rolling bracket coverage to the other side. Its also far easier to overload the blitz with Revis holding down the fort on the edge and his presence makes rushing three into a viable strategy because seven can drop into coverage, along with Revis, in an almost basketball- style box-and-one defense. It?s just being competitive, Revis said of his success. In this league, I think as a defensive back, thats what needs to drive you. The whole secondary feels that same way. We dont want any balls caught. The Seahawks and Pats defensive backfields obviously wont be playing each other in Super Bowl XLIX but the comparisons are obvious, as Seattles group, led by All-Pros Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas, is regarded as the best in football after allowing an NFL-low 185.6 passing yards per game. New England, with Revis, Browner and safety Devin McCourty, is considered a step behind. Revis is often mentioned with Sherman when a debate over the best cornerback breaks out but its a little like comparing apples and oranges. Seattle plays a lot of Cover-3 and Sherman stays on the left side of the field, meaning the opposing offense can avoid any matchup it wants by simply varying the formations. Revis, on the other hand, will shadow a receiver. There are pluses and minus to each philosophy. Revis supporters point to the fact he is asked to do more but fail to realize his movements mean other lesser players also have to shift and do things they arent necessarily comfortable with. Im sure people will make comparisons, Sherman said. They always do. But we play the game two different ways. Hes plays it more meticulous and more conventional on his technique. Mine is more unorthodox. Its more difficult to replicate what I do on the football field. So its two different styles to compare. I play my way and he plays his way and both of them are effective. Revis and Sherman once engaged in a rather epic Twitter war with each proclaiming they were the best corner. These days, its shifted into more of a mutual admiration society. I mean their secondary is one of the best in the league, Revis said of Sherman and Co. They are making plays for the last couple of years. If you look at it on film, theyve definitely made a lot of plays. They play well together and I think thats the key. They are very versatile in what they do and they are a very physical group. Hes had a great year and hes been doing his job effectively, Sherman countered when discussing Revis. I like what Ive seen from his game. Its hard not to. (Revis is) savvy, instinctive, hes deceptively fast, Pats CB Kyle Arrington told the Boston Globe. He has longer arms than you would think, so hes patient on the line of scrimmage. He doesnt care about the scoreboard, in a sense of getting beat, things like that. Hes just a good football player. Good is kind of understating things, something Arrington was quick to correct. Theres only a few guys that come around like that in a generation, Arrington said, and were just fortunate to have a guy like that on our team.

Police and gun control advocates concede that even if the dealer had been required to run a background check it is not likely he would have found anything that would have prevented him from selling Hetherwick the gun, because the man had never been committed to a mental hospital by court order. But the mans wife, Carolyn Hetherwick, said she believes the five-day waiting period that is required under Washington state law for handguns sold by dealers, but not by private sellers, would have given her mentally ill husband time for second thoughts. Every single weapon must need registration, she told ABC News affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle. The Hetherwicks had raised their grandson since he was 10 months old, and like his grandfather, Brennan had been diagnosed as suffering from bipolar disorder. At the time of the shooting, Bryan Hetherwick was severely depressed from lack of work, health problems, and from dealing with Brennans issues, his wife said. Knowing his wifes troubles with multiple sclerosis, hed spoken of suicide in the past, she told KOMO. What was the guy thinking when Bryan was so urgent to get this right away? Carolyn Hetherwick said, referring to the gun dealer. The man who sold Bryan Hetherwick the gun, Lyman Armey, told The Seattle Post-Intelligencer he saw nothing unusual in the mans behavior, and said there was nothing illegal about the transaction. He was never in my gun shop. It was a personal firearm, he told the newspaper. I diidnt do anything illegal but I regret everything about it. Darren ODay Jersey. Police agree that in legal terms, the gun dealer did nothing wrong. If the particular weapon is from a gun dealers personal collection and not from his business inventory, there are no checks. That means there is no waiting period, Monroe Police Chief Tim Quenzer told KOMO. Quenzer said he agrees with Carolyn Hetherwick that the laws need to be changed. The shootings occurred right outside the Monroe Police Department headquarters. It is not clear why Bryan Hetherwick chose that location, but in an interview with KOMO-TV the day after the tragedy, Carolyn Hetherwick tried to find some explanations for what happened. She said still couldnt understand how her husband could kill anyone, but she felt she knew what triggered it. Bryan Hetherwick was depressed and had been suicidal on and off ever since he lost his insurance job to corporate downsizing in Texas last June, she said. The couple had been hopeful when they moved to Washington earlier this summer, but he still couldnt find a job and he couldnt get health insurance coverage, she said. Even more devastating was the fact he couldnt find help for his grandson, she added. He worshipped Brennan, Carolyn Hetherwick said. Because of his bipolar disorder, Brennan needed special, expensive care, she explained. Who else needs help more if youre unemployed, disabled, you cant work and you have a child with special needs? she asked. I spent days on the phone just calling all these places and could not get a thing. The combination of his inability to find work and to get the care his wife and grandson needed seemed to put Bryan Hetherwick in a downward spiral, she said. Page 1 | 2 View Single Page ' ' '
