Seahawks teaching players: Sleep is a 'weapon'

This is another theme article that offers additional insight into how Pete Carroll's Seahawk culture continues to grow and evolve. I really enjoy articles that spotlight this theme.

No time for sleep...-- Russell C Wilson.

I always wondered whether the lack of sleep during the week was hurting Wilson in some games. There are some weeks where he appears to be in "zombie mode."

Wilson did not look himself in SB49. Zombie'd out for sure. Black circles under his eyes were more visible. I hope it didn't affect him. But I have noticed at times it looks like he does NOT get enough sleep.

Sleep is a weapon. -- Jason Bourne

Oh great. Now everyone is going to start sleeping more and we'll lose our competitive advantage.
