10 things we learned from Pete Carroll Tuesday: Chris Carson has taken the lead at tailback, Shaquem Griffin will have competition, and more

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he was already “on to Chicago’’ when he met the media Tuesday afternoon.

But since it was his first presser since Sunday’s season-opening 27-24 loss at Denver, the Broncos game was still at the top of everyone’s mind.

Here are 10 things that stood out from what Carroll said:

CHRIS CARSON HAS TAKEN THE LEAD IN THE TAILABCK BATTLE

Carson and rookie Rashaad Penny each got 25 snaps and seven carries in Sunday’s game.

But Carson turned his carries into 51 yards while Penny managed just eight. And Carroll said the playing time may not be so even moving forward saying that Penny appeared to feel the effects of not playing the final three preseason games after suffering a broken finger in practice.
