Getting your player ready...
Pete Carroll has Troy Polamalu’s evolution from raw talent to defensive superstar on tape. Every now and then the Seahawks coach will pop it in to show his players how to play safety the way it was intended. “We’ve used him as (an) example,” Carroll said. “He is still in a bunch of my cut-up films from the old days. I appreciate everything he is, who he is and the way he plays.” Carroll will get an up-close look at his former USC project today when the Seahawks play against Pola- malu and the Steelers. Polamalu called Carroll a “huge influence” on his development.
