Seahawks’ Brandon Browner will play some safety, Pete Carroll says

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll further explained how the team plans to use veteran Brandon Browner during an interview Monday on 710 ESPN Seattle.

Since the day the Seahawks re-signed Brandon Browner last month, the obvious question looming has been how the team will use him.

Coach Pete Carroll hinted at a more-specialized role for Browner when he talked to the media last month, saying “we’re going to do some different things with him you’ll see in the future, but we have a nice plan for it.’’

Monday when Carroll appeared on the Brock and Salk Show on ESPN 710 Seattle he gave his most specific details yet of what that plan will be for Browner, saying he will be used as a safety in base downs (meaning, first-and-10 or obvious running downs) and then used in specific matchups in passing downs.
