Blount: Seahawks D 'Not Anything Special Or Different'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- LeGarrette Blount is not scared of the Legion Of Boom.
"We'll play them just like we play everybody else," Blount said of the Seahawks defense via PhillyVoice.com. "They're not anything special or anything different from any other team."
In fairness, the once feared Seattle defense, is missing three of it's top players in Cliff Avril, Richard Sherman, and Kam Chancellor due to injury. Former Eagles cornerback Byron Maxwell is back playing meaningful snaps with the Seahawks, as a result of the injuries.
