I write for Field Gulls, the SBN Seahawks site here, and was wondering what kind of information you could give me on DE Pierre Allen and DB Rickey Thenarse. Both players were recently signed as UDFAs to the Seahawks so I'm trying to inform myself on them.

I know (I think) the Huskers ran a 4-3 defense with Bo Pelini that has similar lineage to Pete Carroll's 4-3 through Monte Kiffin. Any insights you might be able to provide me about the roles they played in Pelini's system, their skillsets, and their abilities to possibly translate into the NFL in the Seahawks system would be invaluable. Thanks!
