Seahawks' "super second half" and other takeaway on Monday, press conference by head coach Pete Carroll

While each match will be different depending on Wilson's opponents defenses, Carroll thinks Wilson can have more games like Sunday, in which he quickly recovers the ball to avoid passing enemies. The Seahawks will still want to tackle one of Wilson's strengths, so do not expect the Seahawks to win.

"We have to capture the tempo with which we pitched the ball with the second half of that game and part of the first half," Carroll said. "That's what we really want, the tempo with the ball out. Russell can do it, and we have to keep doing it with every aspect of the pitch. In addition to using it to bombard you, he is so good at it, he is just good at it.

The Seahawks have known for a long time what they have in the dynamic duo of Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright, they are still learning to play with these two players and Mychal Kendricks all together on the field at the same time. The first comebacks with this trio of linebackers playing together have been very encouraging, but Carroll also has the impression of just scratching the surface of what this group can do for the defense of Seattle.

"I'm really excited about it," said Carroll. "I'm really excited about how these guys played this week. I really think it's as honest as possible with you, I feel like we're just getting started. I feel that we are just starting to do what we can do and rely on these guys and use their strengths. There are individual strengths we really understand about K.J. and Bobby. We have been together for so long. Mychal, we're learning, but it's more about the connection between these guys and how we can play each other and all that. I think we will get better. I think we're going to improve, we'll know more, and we'll be more specific with our calls and how we use guys and all that. What I like, too, is that Cody Barton plays well enough to support these guys too. It's not as if it depends only on when the guys are on the ground. I think we may have a chance to continue in this direction with some flexibility. "

Second-year receiver Malik Turner had his best game as a professional. He caught three passes for 54 yards. While other receivers, such as Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, record larger numbers, Turner is one of the players for whom Carroll and Wilson are the biggest. excited because of the difficulty with which he has worked since he was not crushed last year.

"I'm glad you asked about him because he's a fantastic worker," Carroll said. "He's such a competitive kid. Every phase in which he participates, whether it's blocking or receiving, special teams or whatever, everyone marvels at his efforts, because it's so obvious. He just gives you everything he has. He plays fast and he is hard. He is a natural player, who has a good field, who can do a lot of things, he can play any position of the receivers and play all the roles. He can fill the roles of the different spots we have. He has a very good versatility, his work ethic and competitiveness are excellent. We're really excited about him being there and it was great that he finally got the ball in front of him.
