A few post-draft thoughts from Seahawks Examiner … Is Chris Michael the next Shaun Alexander? Carroll on Seahawks’ D-line: The most competitive group we’ve had Seahawks didn’t reach for linemen but still got a bunch Key to Seahawks’ success is flexibility Seahawks stick to their MO and pull a stunner again Tweets by @CHawksExaminer [...]
In case you have not been following Seahawks coverage at Examiner.com, check out what you have missed: Over their first three drafts in Seattle, John Schneider and Pete Carroll have focused mainly on two positions: defensive backs and offensive linemen. Of their 28 picks, 12 have belonged to one of those two position groups. Don’t be [...]
Why would Pete Carroll start Russell Wilson now?
21 Aug 2012Well, Pete Carroll is nothing if not unconventional. It’s hard to argue with the way he has built the Seahawks’ defense and the way his No. 2, Tom Cable, has developed the running game. But what the heck is Carroll doing at quarterback, reportedly naming Russell Wilson the starter for the third preseason game Friday [...]
This blog has resembled a ghost town for the last four months, but that’s just because all of my Seahawk content has migrated to Examiner.com. You can go there to find all of my stuff since April, but here are the most recent items on events related to the Seahawks: So whaddya think: Will Peyton Manning [...]
Pete Carroll: Manning called me
22 Mar 2012When word came out last week that the San Francisco 49ers were interested in Peyton Manning, ESPN’s report included this bit about the Seahawks’ interest: “Manning first visited the Broncos March 9, followed by a visit to the Cardinals, but there were other unreported developments last weekend, such as the Seattle Seahawks parking a jet [...]
Pete Carroll apparently is not averse to wearing expensive hand-me-downs and eating other people’s pricey leftovers, because it appears the Seahawks are poised to enter the Nearly Washed Up Future Hall of Famer Sweepstakes along with just about everyone else. Jim Trotter of SI.com reported: “Seattle is ready not only to pay Peyton Manning and [...]
So much for that playoff idea. If the Seahawks had harbored any such hopes, they torpedoed them Sunday by blowing a 10-point lead over Washington in the fourth quarter in what was easily their most disappointing home game of the season. The Seahawks still could make the playoffs if they win their final five, but [...]
A season and a half into his tenure, the honeymoon is over for Pete Carroll. He has started to absorb a lot of heat for every misstep he and the Seahawks take, and most people are saying his fate in Seattle will be determined by whether he adds a franchise quarterback next offseason and that [...]
Apparently, Pete Carroll has finally figured out that the Seahawks’ glass is not half full on offense right now. Not sure why it took him until Sunday to figure that out, but it sounds like reality has finally struck Positive Pete smack in his “hormonal” head. Among his epiphanies from the 34-12 loss to the [...]
As messy and bizarre as it was, the Seahawks’ 36-25 win over the Giants was the defining win in Pete Carroll’s short tenure. It was the kind of win that makes you want to believe in Carroll, even if he still doesn’t have a franchise quarterback. Yeah, Carroll’s Hawks won in Chicago last season and [...]
