Pete Carroll’s Seahawks have been one of the best (and most surprising?) teams in the NFL this year. At 6-3 around the halfway mark, Seattle — led by new starting quarterback Geno Smith — is the current No. 3 seed in the NFC and isn’t showing any real signs of slowing down.
Part of the apparent reason the Seahawks and Smith, in particular, have been so good is that the quarterback wears a wristband with play calls on it. At least according to Carroll. Yes, that’s right. In a recent radio appearance with Seattle Sports 710 AM, Carroll credited the flourishing of Seattle’s No. 11 offense to Smith being willing to stick to the script.
