Pete Carroll jokes with Sean McVay: I'm looking over your shoulder

Here's a roundup of Seattle Seahawks-related links.

Pete Carroll had some fun with Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay after McVay's news conference Thursday at the NFL combine in Indianapolis:


Patrick Daugherty of Rotoworld ranks Carroll as the NFL's second-best coach, behind only Bill Belichick:

The NFL’s oldest head coach has won at least 10 games in five straight seasons. He’s notched a playoff victory 6-of-7 years in Seattle. Pete Carroll is no Bill Belichick, but he’s the next best thing. A wacky West Coast version of Belichick’s brooding buddha, Carroll keeps a looser vibe, letting his players be themselves. Flying in the face of NFL orthodoxy, this has not thrown the Seahawks off their axis, and instead proved to be a strength. Long known for his dominant defenses, Carroll has also overseen top-10 offenses four of the past five seasons. For as freewheeling as they can seem, Carroll’s teams boast a fundamental soundness that is increasingly rare (his 2016 offensive line notwithstanding). Carroll is a more balanced John Harbaugh. A more cutthroat Andy Reid. He is the NFL’s best coach who doesn’t wear a cut-off hoodie.


Joel Corry of CBSSports.com wonders whether Green Bay Packers guard T.J. Lang could be an option for the Seahawks:

The Seahawks allocated the least amount of resources in the NFL to offensive line in 2016. General manager John Schneider, a former Packers front-office executive, pursuing guard T.J. Lang would be a huge departure from Seattle’s approach to building the offensive line.
