SI: The Dynasty That Never Was
Damn good read on the dismantling of the Seahawks and the rift between members of the defense and Russell Wilson.

"When several players who spoke to SI said Carroll gathered his offensive and defensive leaders and told them they needed to protect Wilson, to treat him more gently than they would their other teammates." In contrast, that is exactly what Belichick does with Brady. He will rip him in practice/film study, saying things like, "A QB at Foxborough High could make that throw."

I like it when they show Pete Carroll vigorously chewing bubble gum on the sidelines. You know he is an intense HC.

In all team sports, team chemistry and or lack of should be given more credit for a teams success or failure.
Just this year look at the STL Cardinals. Not bad but under performing. Get the players on the same page and winning increases above the talent level.This isn't new information but coaches and GM's consistently undervalue this part of a successful team. I personally heard DT and Smith trash the offense in a public place many times. They were pissed.

Dudes hate Curry because he is a trash talking dancing in your face ****er. He tries to play the nice guy off the court but there isn’t a bigger prick in the league. Well except Dramond Greene but that dude is in a world all his own. |

Carroll runs a loose locker room.

Just a one time SB winner flash in the pan.
That play call on the goal line that LOST the SB to the Pats was the final straw. Had it succeeded and they won it probably wouldnt have mattered to most of them, but if most of the team really believed Carroll was trying to get Wilson the SB MVP by calling that play then this ending was inevitable. Theres really no getting over that when they dont like the guy (Wilson) to begin with. |
