The Seahawks defense when fully healthy still one of the best in the league.
They have excellent talented players, but this season they have blown up at not just at their opponents but themselves.
I don’t know if the egos have just gotten too big or the pressure to perform, but Kam Chancellor has had enough.
“One thing I told the defense is that every game that we argue, every game where on the field it was a bunch of arguing, trying to fight the other team, we lost,” Chancellor told Q13’s Ian Furness. “I told them that humility sets in. You’ve got to remain poised. You’ve got to remain humble throughout all the battle.”
“It’s never what they’re doing,” Chancellor said. “They can cheap-shot, they do whatever they want, but at the end of the day they’ve still got to line up again and play the next play. Let them do that, keep your focus. Keep your energy and move on to the next play. We get too caught up in that and it takes away from our focus, it takes away from our game, but we’ve got to remain together.”
“Fighting the other team outside of the whistle, that’s when it takes away energy and it drains you,” he said. “That stuff will drain you. You exert enough energy throughout the whistle. After the whistle it’s just wasted energy, and that’s what we need to cut out of our game.”
Pete Carroll has to clean this up.
He is the head coach, they simply bicker too much and then there are no repercussions for it. They are extreme sore losers who threaten media.
Win like a champ, lose like a champ, not like a baby.
