RockRaines Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 3, 2014 -> 09:02 AM) Kam Chancellor's f***ing huge. That guy's literally a LB playing safety (kinda like Urlacher in college, but way faster). Except he was recruited as a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm sure Seahawk fans are excited, but that made for a really boring game. Hasn't been a blow out like that since the Bucs beat up on the Raiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing D Line work coupled with allowing Manning to hit dump offs before their fast as hell defense destroyed that player. Pretty good strategy.

cabiness42 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Why did people doubt that Pete Carroll could be successful in the NFL? He was very successful with well-paid players at his last job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 2, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) Mayweather claims now he didn't bey the game. I don't believe that for a second. I don't doubt that he bet the game, but the 10.4 million thing was a scam...that much was confirmed in the middle of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very successful with well-paid players at his last job. Wasn't he pretty terrible with the Patriots? edit: looks like he was average with the Patriots. I was thinking of when he took over the Jets job and went 6-10. He's been just over .500 in the NFL. I don't think he's suddenly great because of this win.

Yeah but at USC he was coaching well-paid professionals against teams that didn't have professional level talent. I think you can throw most college success out the window when evaluating coaching talent. Maybe if you're Harbough and you take a program from nothing to great and sustain that success. That's impressive because you're winning without the best players. USC just reloaded ever year. And they played in a pretty bad conference. He didn't have a very good track record as a HC at the NFL level. That's where most of the doubt came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 No sour grapes intended, but it was striking last night watching all of these undrafted and late round guys looking bigger, faster and stronger than everyone else on the field.

He was great at USC (which it has been shown still needs a good coach to be elite) because he got out of the way and played and catered to his talent. He is well known as being a players coach who routinely keeps things light. It most likely works well with new pro players as well as vets.

It wasn't coaching that made the Seahawks D so outstanding, it was pure speed and talent. Now I think Carroll has a major say in personnel and they gutted the entire roster when he showed up, so he definitely deserves credit for that.

WEll, he is and has always been a defensive coach, so there must be something he is doing right to produce such a successful defense.

After watching NFL for past decade, I'm less enthralled with crazy schemes than coaches who are able to develop talent and teach their scheme to perfection. Seems Carroll is very good at both. That whole organization seems on the same page, and that is so rare in the NFL and difficult to accomplish. See Browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
