So once in a blue moon TA will dedicate a segment to the Seahawks that lasts beyond 15 seconds. Today they discussed (based off the Sherman dust kick up, i.e. it's still offseason) if the Seahawks have lost their way. Of course the overall sentiment was yes they have. The usual narrative abounds ("Look at all the players let go in the offseason, the LOB is no more, Russell has to do it all on his own, et al) so nothing shocking there.
I guess what I took from the segment is the overall underestimation of Pete's ability to get young players to buy in, and not just young players but players with chips on their shoulders. After all, that was always the very foundational ingredient that created the cake that was ultimately our first Championship team in franchise history.
Unless I have been living under a rock for the past couple of years, I am pretty sure Pete Carroll is still the youngest mid 60's human being the world has ever known, and he's still the same person that got the Seahawks to the promised land and finished the job, nearly doing it back-to-back. Now to the segment's overall point, you don't just grow Kam Chancellors and Richard Shermans on trees. These are generational players that changed the game.
We were feared. We were the bullies nobody wanted to face. Now we are not.
Well, why can't we be that again? Hell yes it will take time, and it will have it's own new face on it, but why can't we get back to that brand of football?
I say we can, and we will.
