Live Updates: Super Bowl XLIX Media Day

Media Day is usually the wildest day of the week leading up to the Super Bowl. Both the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will address the media and a limited number of fans in Phoenix.

3rd & 7 37yd

Many talk about a very diverse passing game, but the Pats' rushing attack is very diverse

Do you think if seattle changes their scheme, only then you can talk about sherman as one of the greats? What's your view on that. For example PP covers Megatron wherever he goes.

by sri via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:59:39 PM
The key to the game is if the patriots corners can cover the seahawks WR's 1v1. If so then they can load up the box and shut down the short dump offs

by Ryan via ESPN 1/27/2015 6:59:55 PM
Nah, I guess it is a chink in Sherman's armor in terms of comparing him to the greats, but he does what is asked of him as well or better than anyone in the game

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:00:39 PM
Although the Seattle Secondary looks like a no fly zone on paper, the question for the super bowl will be individual matchups. Will Sherman match up against LaFell on the outside or take the Patriots real receiving threat, Edelman in the slot?

by Paul Revere via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:01:31 PM
And I think they are able to pull that off quite well Ryan...btw, keep an eye out for NEng's nickel package...sometimes they will use 4 CBs and just 1 Safety...and put Browner on a move TE like Willson...big Willson fan here btw

Paul Revere, first off, I respect your work very much. Secondly, that is a great question. My hunch is SEA will "Do what they do" and "Dance with who brung ya" and not change their scheme dramatically for one matchup

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:02:48 PM
And can we please acknowledge Wilson's greatness? This man is 10-0 against Superbowl winning qbs. Probably the best pocket awareness and qb instincts I have seen in 20 yrs. Best of all, he is so humble, so unlike his defensive teammates. HA! But seriously , what a perfect match for sea loud defense; a calm and confident qb who can also run and give perfect answers to media everytime.

by Mo Agrawal via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:03:48 PM
Should be an awesome matchup Mo and you are right that Wilson is now a great player...he sure didn't play like it for the first 55 mins last week however and def does his best work outside the pocket

by Matt Williamson via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:04:48 PM
Wilson is in the perfect system for his skill set

No question Jackson...and that is called great coaching. They created their O around Wilson...very smart of course. Believe it or not, being a very short QB still is a problem for him...and always will be

Do you think Jonas Gray will be utilized at all?

by Tyrion Lannister via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:06:24 PM
Dave, I'm just not too thrilled about the whole "I do what I want" attitude. Everyone else get's along just fine. Imagine if you were at your in-laws for dinner and answered every question with "I'm only here so my wife doesn't complain". People don't do that. Be respectful.

by Scott via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:50:49 PM
As a Pats fan, why can't folks lay off Lynch? It's sad how the media can ask all the dumb questions it wants, and everyone is forced to play along. Like the clown who asked Gronk if he was excited for the Puppy Bowl....

by Greg via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:50:53 PM
Just wish Marshawn would realize that there are kids who look up to him. In my opinion that is NOT teaching those kids anything good!

by A fan via ESPN 1/27/2015 7:51:01 PM
Too many people want to interpret the rules. The rule is the rule is the rule, whether it's the Pat's formation against the Ravens, Marshawn's responses to the media, Dez Bryant's non-catch, or Golden Tate's TD catch. Letter of the rule is what matters, not your interpretation of what the rule should be.

Wouldn't it be better for Lynch to just say.. "I'm on to New England"
At least that would be funny

Marshawn Lynch does not want to be at Media Day. If all Seahawks given option to go or have day off, most would take latter. So, just do it.
