INDIANAPOLIS The NFL’s annual, mega-hyped combine extravaganza will be a continuing test of Pete Carroll’s offseason promise.
To get back to what the Seahawks’ coach is all about. Running the ball.
The first step was re-making his coaching staff. Eight assistants from 2017 are gone. Six new ones have arrived, including new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, new offensive line coach Mike Solari and defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr.
So this week Carroll, general manager John Schneider and the Seahawks’ personnel, coaching and scouting staffs will conduct step two at this annual scouting showcase: focusing only on prospects to run the ball and who can block lanes to do it, right?
