Pete Carroll calls off Seahawks players over not doing what they were told, which is not like him at all.
Hi, Deebo Samuel planned to attack Jamal Adams in the open field. On second down, George Kittle scored again after Julian Love dropped a play-action pass.
Seattle had no answer for the sudden change from man-to-man for cloud, zone defense on DK Metcalf because of an injury.
In these and other ways, the Seahawks’ loss to the 49ers on Sunday seemed to be another case of Kyle Shanahan as well as his team being better coaches than Pete Carroll and his.
The Rams and Sean McVay have accomplished the same trick twice this season. To put it another way, Seattle is 1-4 in the NFC West, which helps explain why they are 6-7.
But Carroll made it clear after this 28-16 loss against the 49ers, when San Francisco again scored more than 500 yards, what he thinks is wrong with Seattle after their fourth straight loss.
In Carroll’s 14 years as Seahawks coach, this is the first time the team has lost four games in a row. In 1994, his only season as head coach of the New York Jets, he lost the final five games and was fired. This is his longest losing streak as head coach.
Because of this, Carroll called out his guys, which is not like him at all. When the 72-year-old teacher said he needed to do better, he once again took responsibility. However, he broke his most important rule: protect the other players.
“We sat down here ready to play these guys when we got here.” They played better offense than us too many times for us to win today,” Carroll said as his team drove home Sunday night.
“They got it from us.” Kittle in close yardage, during a play-action pass, with a lot of people on the field. Carroll said, via Gregg Bell for The News Tribune, “He’s done that his whole career.”
“Those things weren’t new. That chance was lost because we didn’t do enough to stop it. We worked on that stuff, and we had to come through to produce those plays. “We did not do it.”
On his radio show on KIRO-AM in Monday morning, Carroll went even further. He named Adams and talked about Love’s problem. “It’s okay for me to talk about these guys,” Carroll said. Say, “They know.”
It looks like the Seahawks lost two first-round picks, an third-round pick, as well as Bradley McDougald in the Adams trade. This is one of the worst deals in NFL history.
Before the 2021 season, they gave him a four-year, $72 million deal. That made him the highest-paid player in NFL history, and he still is the third-highest earned safety in the game.
In his four years in Seattle, Adams has played in 34 games and missed 29 due to illness. He hasn’t been selected for the Pro Bowl since 2020. “Those chances were lost because we didn’t execute well enough.”
“They had some tougher throws that went 70 yards.” That’s their best show. We’ve been working on it the whole time.” They were just running Deebo upon a deep crosser, which wasn’t strange.
It’s something he’s always done, and we saw it but didn’t play it right. He talks about Deebo Samuel’s touchdown pass that beat him during the Seahawks’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
“They got it from us.” Kittle with few yards to go on to play-action pass. They had a lot of staff. “He has done that his whole career,” Carroll said. “Those things weren’t new.
We worked on that stuff, and we had to come through to create those plays. “We did not do it.” The coach said again on his usual day-after talk show on Seattle’s KIRO-AM on Monday morning that players didn’t play the way they were told to after watching the game film.
He named Adams and talked about Woolen and Love by name because of mistakes they made that led to touchdowns for San Francisco in a game the Seahawks lose by 12 points.
