Cast your minds back to Sunday. (Sorry)
The CLINK was booming Sheck Wes’ Mo Bamba pre-drive. The fans were getting hyped. This was an atmosphere ripe for a run-denying performance. And then the defense got gashed. The swagger vanished in very un-Pete Carroll fashion.
Now the defense wasn’t the main problem. After a shaky first half full of explosive plays, they gave up 0 second-half points despite a rotten offense making their task tougher. Adjustments were made and executed.
Still though, Carroll’s ethos is to stop the run first and the Seattle Seahawks failed to do this to epic proportions.
