Pete Carroll: Blame me, not Brian Schottenheimer, for passing too much to start Seahawks season

The Seahawks’ 0-2 start to this season? The possibility that ends up keeping them out of the playoffs for the second consecutive year?

Pete Carroll has two words to say about that.

Blame me.

That is, don’t blame offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Don’t blame the new play caller for Seattle throwing the ball 73 percent of the time in losses at Denver and Chicago last month.

“Yeah, it took us a couple of games to find the rhythm and the mix that we wanted to begin the season with. I misevaluated,” Carroll said Monday.
