JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Richard Sherman, Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch deservedly draw the attention for what they’ve done in getting the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl.Players like Jermaine Kearse, Walter Thurmond and Malcolm Smith are just as big a reason why Seattle is facing Denver in Sunday’s championship game.Seattle may have one of the better starting lineups in the NFL, but the depth that general manager John Schneider and coach Pete Carroll have amassed is equally impressive. It’s the reason they can rotate eight different defensive linemen. It’s why when Brandon Browner was injured and Thurmond suspended, Byron Maxwell could step in and the play in Seattle’s secondary not suffer.It’s a regular refrain in the Seattle locker room to hear teammates say the Seahawks reserves could be starters on other teams.
