Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Richard Sherman clear air during Friday morning meeting

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says he heard what he needed to hear from Richard Sherman during an hour-long meeting Friday morning to put Sherman's outburst from Thursday night into the past.

It was Richard Sherman’s reaction Friday morning during a private meeting with Seahawks coach Pete Carroll that ultimately mattered more to Carroll than how Sherman reacted during and after the team’s 24-3 win over the Rams Thursday night.

Sherman went into a yelling and finger-pointing outburst during the third quarter, upset about a play call to pass from the 1-yard-line rather than run. He then didn’t back down from that after the game, confirming to reporters he was upset with the offensive playcalling in that situation — a pass to Jmmy Graham was almost intercepted by the Rams, which appeared to set off Sherman.
