Always Compete is such a big part of Pete Carroll’s philosophy that those two words are emblazoned at the bottom of the scoreboard at the team’s training facility in Renton.

And to Carroll, the benching of cornerback Jeremy Lane — which compelled Lane to fire off two angry tweets on Tuesday afternoon — was simply further confirmation that the Seahawks live by their slogans.

“That’s how it goes,’’ Carroll said. “We don’t have a rule around here that if you have been in your spot you get it forever. That’s not the way it works. We compete.
