Have the Seattle Seahawks perfected Beamerball?

Watching some of the NFL games over the weekend, there was one thing I kept noticing about some of these teams, notably with Seattle. They have their best playmakers out there making plays on special teams. At one point they had their starting safety, Earl Thomas III out there making tackles and bringing guys down on kickoffs and... I kind of miss that out of our teams. In fact, the more I watch Seattle, the more and more they look like a vintage Beamer coached team. Very strong on defense, they are built around running the ball, but aren't afraid to pass when they have to. They have a mobile QB that can make something out of nothing the second a play breaks down. They put their best guys out there on Special Teams to tilt the game in their favor in scenarios other teams might overlook. And even more importantly, they play with a badass chip on their shoulder, a mentality that carries over the fans filling a stadium where, it might not be the biggest in the game, but it absolutely gets the loudest and creates the biggest home field advantage in the game. The more I thought about it, the more it dawned on me... Seattle is built upon the same blueprint that made Virginia Tech football the entity we know and love.

So my question is... where did that kind of intensity go from our team? Its not like Seattle had this because they won the Super Bowl last year, they have been playing with that chip on their shoulder for a while. How do we get back to playing with the same intensity that they do?
