That plays out in how the scouts and coaches are trained to think by the Seahawks. They're told to break the football man's natural inclination to find what a player can't do well, rather than what he can or does do well. It's born there, in the Seahawks' goal of identifying players by thinking outside the box -- for instance, while Irvin's troubled teenage years raised a fire-engine red flag for some teams, the Seahawks were amazed that he'd found his way out -- and it's nurtured in a system that accentuates the strengths of the incoming guys.
