Seahawks teaching players: Sleep is a weapon

Contradictory to one of Russell Wilson's most-used hashtags -- #NoTimeToSleep -- rest, recovery, and sleep have become major points of emphasis in the Seahawks' overarching program. A huge part of Pete Carroll's system is messaging, and you can often hear how his coaching staff's focus on getting the proper amount of rest has sunk in with his players. Doug Baldwin mentions it in a presser. Jermaine Kearse references it in an interview. Richard Sherman talks about it in a column. Almost paradoxically, one of the most important parts of Seattle's training program is managing the time spent doing absolutely nothing.
