If You Could Ask Pete Carroll One Question In A Presser...

[AROS]

Assuming that this would be a hold no punches affair, unlike the soft balls the local media has to lob at the coach in order to stay in good standing with the PR staff...

What would your one question be?

 

[Hasselbeck]

"Seriously Pete.. WTF did you call timeout?"

 

[SNDavidson]

Will you tell me what happened to your nose?

 

[seahawksfanatic000]

What has caused your sudden fear of the "field goal"

 

[JSeahawks]

I'm pretty damn happy with the way he's running our team, so i dont think it woudl be anything about the Seahawks....

How do you REALLY, deep down inside feel about Jim Harbaugh?

 

[m0ng0]

aqua net or natural?

 

[SNDavidson]

Was it a hockey stick? Did you get hit with a hockey stick?

I feel the same way he feels about himself. I feel nothing because he has no soul.

Mine would be, "Would you please explain why you allow Gus Bradley to continually run soft zone defense when it has proven a zillion times to be one of the worst schemes you can call if you're trying to win a game late in the 4th?"

 

[SeatownJay]

Who keeps deciding to play a soft, prevent zone defense, you or Bradley?

"Seriously Pete.. WTF did you call timeout?"

I'm sure if it wasn't so soon after the game, I could come up with something more important to ask, but this one really has me befuddled. I thought I heard Pete say before that he doesn't believe in "icing the kicker". If it was something he was known to do, I could understand it more, but that play has me baffled more than any other (including when he went for it early in the game. I mean at that point in the game, we were still not out of it, and as it turns out, those 3 points turned out to be very important). The 4th down play though, I can understand somewhat, even if I vehemently disagreed with it at the time, but the icing call just didn't make sense at all.

Actually mine would be similar, but worded thus: "Would you please tell us how many times you had to refrain from beating Gus Bradly over the head from the :31 second point in the game on?"

And let's make this Q&A session for .NET happen!

 

[Killerbird]

Why in the heck would you not kick the field goals when you should have and the play call on fourth down was so predictable. Common Man. Why didn't we throw in the first half more? I put this loss on the coach's .

 

[HawkWow]

I would use my time to make a request...."Pete, please trade out of the 1st rd."

It's going to haunt me for 8 months.

Regarding the bend don't break defense, is Gus aware that "bending" and "breaking" are essentially the same thing when all they need is FG range in a dome?

 

[seahawksfanatic000]

Have you ever considered having Wilson play both offense and defense? Oh, wait he's too short to play defense.......

 

[Traxs]

Would you consider hiring an in-game strategist who knows what he F they're doing??

 

[razgriz737]

Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?

 

[Seahawk Sailor]

Hey, here's a good one: Pete, are you looking for a team travel planner? 'Cause I think a late flight back to ATL cost you the .02 seconds of a jump necessary to put points on the board earlier and more often. I'm available for hire.
