Already they are being compared with the ‘Legion of Boom’ defence, which helped Seattle to two straight Super Bowls in 2014 and 2015, winning the first against Denver.<\/a><\/p>\n Durde’s mentor Quinn was the Seahawks’ defensive coordinator back then, but the Briton says this team is building its own identity.<\/p>\n “We’ve been making sure we’re putting the right things in place at the right stages so we can start the year the way we want to start it,” he said.<\/p>\n “As we\u2019re building this, I\u2019m looking at where we\u2019re going and how we’re doing it fundamentally day by day, week by week, phase by phase.<\/p>\n “The one thing I\u2019m most excited about is the opportunity to be part of something from the start – to build a way of doing things, a way of life, a standard and identity within the defence that is bigger than just one of us.<\/p>\n “It’s a smart, physical, tough team, and we’ve got a lot of talented players, so I\u2019m excited about what they can be.”<\/p>\n Seattle will face the first big test of their play-off credentials on Monday against the Detroit Lions, who reached last season’s NFC Championship game.<\/p>\n Durde, meanwhile, will keep flying the flag for the UK to ensure more Britons get the chance to follow in his footsteps and fulfil their NFL dream.<\/p>\n “I feel like I still have to do everything I can to be as good as I possibly can be, not just because it\u2019s my job but for the opportunity for everyone else,” he added.<\/p>\n “If I represent myself well, hopefully it creates other opportunities for people [from the UK] to get seen.”<\/p>\n Follow live radio commentary of Kansas City Chiefs v Los Angeles Chargers on <\/i>BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra<\/i><\/a> on Sunday from 21:00 BST<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
