Pete Carroll loves young players just starting out in the NFL. Always has. It became clear a year ago that Carroll and the Seahawks were trying to recreate the formula once more. After trading Russell Wilson to Denver, the NFL’s oldest coach recommitted to youth.
More than a decade ago, the foundation of what became Seattle’s Super Bowl champion was built around players at the beginning of their careers.
After flopping in their season opener against the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks have won three straight heading into their bye week, capped by last Monday’s 24-3 win over the New York Giants. "He has been electric for this defense and just is confident. You don’t see rookies that are that confident," Seattle safety Julian Love said. "He’s coming in, obviously he missed the first game. He was missing most of camp because he was battling, rehabbing. He was coming in and has impacted this defense in a positive way, which is huge, and now just keep taking steps forward for him.
Some of it has been by necessity as injuries have hit at key positions and left some of those youngsters being pushed into more important roles. For example, rookie guard Anthony Bradford and rookie center Olu Oluwatimi were thrust into action on Monday night after injuries left the Seahawks without four of the five offensive linemen who started their opener.
