After last Thursday’s win over the Seahawks, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh made it clear that he was unhappy with how his receivers were being covered. He felt like the Seattle cornerbacks were getting away with holding.Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll called Harbaugh out on Brock & Salk on ESPN 710 (via ProFootballTalk.com) because he told Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride that he was crazy to think that Justin Smith holds opposing offensive lineman.“Wasn’t it just a couple weeks ago when they were talking about not doing things like that?” Carroll said. “The Giants, Kevin Gilbride, or something like that? You know, I thought there was something about that, you know? Where we don’t go out and express our concerns and all.”Carroll believes his guys play well. He mentioned that calls won’t always go your way.“I think this was a very normal game for us in terms of how we played, and I’m surprised he felt like the receivers were so overwhelmed,” Carroll said. “I th

Headline: The solution is a QB change; the compromise is the Chiefs WR making Seattle’s offense better.
The Seattle Seahawks need to do something for their defense, a defense that is the best in the NFL and could win a Super Bowl if given the opportunity.

The Seattle Seahawks probably have the biggest cornerbacks tandem in the league. They are led by Richard Sherman, who is 6-3 and 195 pounds. On the other side of the field is Brandon Browner, who is listed at 6-4 and 221 pounds.
That’s crazy to see and that’s what led to some of the team’s big success over some of the best passing offenses in the...

Seahawks being Physical
Those of us that have been watching the Seahawks play the last year have figured out that our defense is physical and stout. Pete Carroll has brought in big playmakers that fly to the ball. The smallest guy on the defense is one of the biggest playmakers, and is by no means small.
Brandon Browner(6’4″ 221 lbs) and Richard Sherman(6’3″ 195 lbs) are the two corners on...

Last Thursday’s road game against the 49ers was supremely frustrating to watch. The Seahawks looked awful, and that’s led to a lot of fans voicing opinions of the “fire coach X and/or bench player Y” variety. That’s understandable, but I think it’s premature to be calling for changes that drastic. Right now, the Seahawks are 3-0 at home and 1-3 on the road, with...
