Pete Carroll's coaching philosophy was to value his players more than anything.
I asked him today what he wants the NFL to do to accomplish that at a league level.
His 1 minute, 40 second answer is worth a listen.
"Why wouldn't we be creating superheroes for our young kids?"
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
@Seahawks
suck in the draft and has not upgraded the OL. Soo. Hawks give up a draft pick, which y’all claim they suck at, to upgrade the oline, which y’all say we need and lo and behold, you bitch about that too. Y’all so damn funny.

“RIP John Clayton Edition” Was one of the 1st to interview me after I was drafted. I had a tough rookie year but he always asked the tough questions w humility & respect. During free agency, he was my inside dude. Gave me all the scoop on the interested teams.
@gogetityft
1. 1st step upfield & he’s reaching out w his hands = Off balance, behind, short corner, no punch.2. Feet together in the air=no pwr, no base, shorter corner 3. bc of 1&2, overpursued inside shoulder, 2 far upfield, beat by spin. 4. bc of 1,2&3= hold and penalty

You can say what you want about

Hearing the truth is important But also important is the difference between “your” truth and the actual truth. Oftentimes, they are not the same. So truth telling can be just as hard as truth hearing.

Why are

fans stressing over coaching hires? Coach Elliot doesn’t seem to be stressed. He has his process and timeline. Not mine or yours. Chill. Relax. It will be what it will be.
#SerenityPrayer
It is about a process that tries to mitigate bias. Bias that negatively impacts and reduces the chances for qualified and deserving underrepresented individuals opportunities at being hired. Do not believe the narrative that some try to feed you that says otherwise.
If there r people u love &care for,do not let anything keep u from telling them!Check in bc you never know what could be going on or what might happen to them. Life is too freaking short to hold back a few words that can make a difference.🧡⚔️💙

“My Little Big Dude Edition”. The little dude on the left became this big dude on the right(6-5 265) and he is starting his first varsity game tonight. He wears
#72
and he will be the starting left tackle. Proud, excited pops today. Can’t wait.
So long story short, this is the team and staff we have. You can remain negative, foul, pissed and give up or you can pour support, encouragement and positivity into a group of young men who deserve it. For me and my house, I’m choosing the latter. GoHoos! WaHooWa4Life!

UVA my man! Can’t beat the combination of coaching, player development, academic reputation and the access you gain with a degree from UVA. Trust me. Been there done that and living it.
Think Stone Forsythe has a good foundation.Has a good punch in pass pro but I think he may struggle with speed rushers or speed to power rushers. His height can make pad level an issue w run blocking but that can be improved. Coaching and ability to take coaching will be key.

@UVA
Can we freaking line up and play big boy football with the massive offensive line we have? Please?! Sorry. Not buying this offensive approach. Too much side to side running and gadget plays. This does not serve the offensive line well at all.
@UVAFootball
Serious question. How many of the “PC & JS don’t know what they’re doing” crowd have actually done what those 2 have done & have also been as successful at it as they have? I’ll wait. Seahawks twitter is straight up tripping. 😂 😂 I’m excited about the draft. Can’t wait!
In times like these, our best selves r necessary.Showing up is viral. So is empathy, sympathy,patience,kindness & an others centered approach.Sometimes the best thing is to sit quietly. Grief is like the waves of the ocean w ebbs&flows. Help ea other ride them.

new coach hire in an attempt to be first to report, please, please take honor in being right instead of first for the rest of this process. Just saying. Thank you.
@jtheaps9
I love the way folks just assume that 1. If the

are aggressive in their approach, that every damn free agent will come here. 2. That said free agent has any interests in being here and 3. If they do not land here, somehow the Hawks failed. Kind of funny to me.

“Shout Out! Edition” Coaching OL is part art, part science, detail & development. None of it works if u can’t connect w the entire room. Andy Dickerson does it all. There has been no panic w the OL bc there has been no panic in its leader. Job well done!
@dandakich
That does not mean that peeps are not trying to make positive impacts in those cities. Dude. You have such a platform and it seems you’re so stuck on divisive communications. We have enough of those voices in the world. Try something different.

grit and resilience. With all of their injuries, they don’t just battle and fight, They just keep WINNING! Isn’t that why you play? How about some acknowledgement for that? Ohh right. Nvm.

“Sooo Edition” Sooo since we
@UVAFootball
are talking about bringing back alumnus…I mean. If there’s one thing I know and two things fo sho…that’s offensive line play. Hmmmm. Just saying.
When u had a chance early in the season to establish a physical run game, U chose to keep passing.Don’t tell me the offensive line can’t do it.The OC has to develop it & WANT to do it. It helps settle the offense,extend drives& take pressure off the QB. But hey what do I know?

That’s great for you but what offends or doesn’t offend you isn’t the same for someone else. Each heart knows it’s own pain and responds accordingly. To say you have never been offended would not be truthful either. Just saying.

Like it or not the transfer exodus of some quality, starter, experienced OL when Bronco left, set the program back at least a couple of years. Takes time, coaching & talented players to recover. 2nd year in a row that we have started the season w 4 new starters. That’s tough.
This
@Seahawks
Twitter talk highlights a few things to me. 1. People have no idea how good this city has had it. 2. The things some value r interesting to me. 3. The idea that All-decade type players can be easily replaced. 4. How quickly fans side w teams but castigate players
