"Carroll, Richard Among "Most Creative" Playcallers

Now, Bowen is highlighting the defensive side of the football (Insider), and the duo of head coach Pete Carroll and defensive coordinator Kris Richard cap his list of coaches "who get the most out of their personnel using disguise, coverage and pressure" to produce results."

I would say letting them run down the seam wide open is very "creative".

Stats? Re-watch the 2015 season lol. TE's were clearly our Achilles heel...

TEs were everybody's achilles heal last year. It was, if I remember correctly, the spread offense. That'll change. NFL schemes are constantly adjusting.

I'd be happy to see him shed the "creative" moniker and just be described as "great."
