For much of the past year fans of the Seattle Seahawks have lamented the fact that offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer runs an offense that many have labeled simplistic or otherwise lacking in complexity. It’s been no secret that part of what Pete Carroll likes to do is to out execute the opponent so that even if the opposition knows what’s coming, there’s nothing that they can do to stop it.
This has been a big piece of the defensive philosophy Pete Carroll brings to the table, as for years the Seahawks have run a cover-3 defense with Earl Thomas protecting the Hawks from the deep ball.
