Pete Carroll made a baseball analogy Monday afternoon during his weekly press conference at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
No, it had nothing to do with the touchdown celebration the Seahawks receivers started in the end zone in Detroit — when Tyler Lockett beaned Doug Baldwin with the football, Baldwin charged the make-believe mound and Lockett pretended to cold-cock him.
Instead, Carroll’s analogy was about his rookie punter, Michael Dickson, whose gutsy decision to run out of his own end zone on fourth-and-8 and pick up a first down with two minutes to play sealed Sunday’s 28-14 win over the Lions.
