Should the Seahawks “modernize” their offense and let Wilson pass more early in games? Or should they go even further and move on from Carroll as head coach?ĮSPN Radio and Sirius XM host Geoff Schwartz, a former NFL offensive lineman, joined 710 ESPN Seattle’s Bob, Dave and Moore to break down why Carroll will stay with the Seahawks going forward. That was on display in the team’s loss to Green Bay, as they entered halftime down 21-3. What happened in the second half of those wins was usually star quarterback Russell Wilson was asked to take the game over and lead comeback efforts after the sluggish offensive starts. All but one of their 12 wins were by one score.

Seattle played in 18 total games this year and had a lead or were tied at halftime just six times. That style of offense has led to slow starts, especially in 2019.

He also hasn’t been as aggressive on fourth down as some would like. That has been run-first offenses that try to limit the amount of possessions each team has in a game. But while many teams have adopted more pass-heavy and analytical approaches to the game, Carroll has kept doing what’s made him successful both in Seattle and at USC, where he won two national championships.
