Diggs, Adams a formidable 二人組 at 支援する of Seahawks 弁護
RENTON, Wash. (AP) - When he first got word the 貿易（する） was going 負かす／撃墜する and he was on the move, Jamal Adams grabbed his phone and reached out to one of his closest friends.
It happened to be Quandre Diggs, the guy Adams will line up next to Sunday when he makes his Seattle Seahawks debut in the opener against Atlanta.
"He´s like a brother to me, and we´ve known each other for a very long time," Adams said. "We always talked about, `Man, what if we played together?´"
Diggs was Seattle´s midseason 取得／買収 a year ago, while Adams' arrival was the result of an 積極的な move the Seahawks made in July to acquire what they saw as a 行方不明の piece. They are part of a 支援する-seven that should be の中で the best in football.
"It´s going to start with the DBs. We 始める，決める the トン," Adams said. "Any time we step on the field, we 始める，決める the トン."
The 社債 between Adams and Diggs was 設立するd years ago when Diggs was in college and Adams was still in high school. Diggs was a starter at Texas and was 仕事d for one 週末 with hosting Adams - then a 星／主役にする prep player in the Dallas area - on his 公式訪問 to Austin.

"I think the 公式の／役人 (visit) was 麻薬," Diggs said.
Or as Adams 解任するd, "Quandre 手配中の，お尋ね者 me to come (there) very bad. He was my host. We had a 広大な／多数の／重要な time on Sixth Street. I´ll never forget it. We had a 広大な／多数の／重要な time."
結局, Adams 選ぶd to play his college ball at LSU, bypassing his chance to stay in his home 明言する／公表する and play と一緒に Diggs. But the 関係 made during that visit has lasted into their NFL careers.
"I feel like Quandre tries to 扱う／治療する Jamal like a little brother," Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner said. "They go 支援する and 前へ／外へ about that. But it´s 冷静な／正味の to have guys like that 支援する there communicating, seeing what you see, understanding what you understand. It definitely 許すs you to play a little faster."
The 二人組 gives Seattle the most versatility it has had at the safety position since the combo of Kam （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長 and Earl Thomas 錨，総合司会者d the Legion of にわか景気 第２位 that took the Seahawks to 連続した 最高の Bowls.
Diggs can play the 選び出す／独身-high 解放する／自由な safety 位置／汚点／見つけ出す that 許すd the Seahawks to play as much man ニュース報道 as they did when Thomas was patrolling the 支援する end. Adams is more than happy to be a thumper 近づく the line of scrimmage in the same way as （ドイツなどの）首相／（大学の）学長, but he may bring even more versatility because of his knack as a blitzing pass rusher.
連合させるd with Shaquill Griffin and some combo of Tre Flowers or Quinton Dunbar at the cornerback 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs, the Seahawks' base 第２位 has a chance to be exceptional.
防御の 調整者／コーディネーター Ken Norton Jr. 賞賛するd Diggs for 存在 the leader of the group.
"This is gonna be probably one of the best 第２位s we´ve had in a long time," Norton said. "Just for the fact that (Diggs ) has been so 静める, collected and smart and 作品 井戸／弁護士席 with everybody. 広大な／多数の／重要な 伝達者. So I´m really excited about the 開発 we´ve had so far."
