He talks about relentlessly instilling a positive attitude in his teams, which requires discipline. Language is important, and he does not like synonyms when conveying his core philosophy. Consistency is key.
Offensive line is definitely a work in progress with a long ways to go. They know what they have in Jeanpierre and Bailey at center and left guard. Those two each have starting experience and understand all the line calls. However, they are still looking at some of the more physical young guys at those two spots. It's a process to improve the communication of these inexperienced players.
Carroll could not believe New Orleans put Jimmy Graham on the trade block and thought they would pull the plug on the deal. Graham is going to make everyone better, but the goal is not to change the offense for Graham like they mistakenly did with Percy Harvin. After Harvin was released, they went back to doing what made them great with Lynch running the ball and Baldwin in the slot on 3rd downs. Graham, as a big receiver, gives them a great target on 3rd downs and in the red zone. Carroll has known the value of having a big receiver since he was at USC with Mike Williams and other players. It's a comfort for the QB to have a big receiver.
Chris Matthews gives them another big receiver. They had no idea how good Matthews was in practice, before the Super Bowl, in part because their corners matchup so well with big receivers. Carroll told his coaches that they are going to count on Matthews being the big receiver in this offense until someone takes his spot. They are going to feed him the ball and not wait and see whether he shows that he can be that player again in practice.
They are working hard to get Kam Chancellor back on the field. Chancellor is a unique player, like Marshawn Lynch is a unique player. Marshawn was in a similar situation last season, where he did not have much guaranteed money left on his deal. The Seahawks agreed to guarantee money that Marshawn was already scheduled to make in per-game roster bonuses and incentive money, plus gave him an additional $500,000 that he had been scheduled to get in 2015.
