Doug Baldwin is one of the few still on the Seattle Seahawks roster who has hung around long enough to give an accurate and comprehensive read on coach Pete Carroll 鈥?who received a three-year contract extension Monday.After being with Carroll for eight of his nine seasons in Seattle http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-doug-baldwin-jersey , Baldwin said the coaching job done this season may be Carroll's best, taking a team few expected to be contender and leading them to the postseason for the seventh time in his Seahawks tenure."I would put this up there as one of his best years coaching, without a doubt. All the new faces, all the new coaches, the new guys, really just figuring out how best to utilize them so that we can be successful on the football field and perform at a high level, it's incredible," Baldwin said. "Now he's not going to get all the credit, because we do have an offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator and all the position coaches who work their tails off, too. It's a full team effort, for sure, but I will say that I think Pete has done a fantastic job this year."Seattle clinched its spot in the postseason with Sunday's 38-31 win over Kansas City, the Seahawks' fifth win in the past six games, completing a turnaround from a 0-2 start and sitting at 4-5 at midseason. The Seahawks (9-6) are likely headed for a wild-card round matchup against Dallas Kam Chancellor Jersey , although there are a handful of scenarios in which Seattle could fall to the No. 6 seed and face Chicago in the opening round.The Seahawks rewarded him with a multiyear extension that will take him through the 2021 season when Carroll turns 70 in September. Carroll said he was approached by the franchise last week about an extension and finished the deal on Monday afternoon.There was some question as to Carroll's future with the uncertainty about ownership following the death of Paul Allen in October. Carroll said he's appreciative of how he's been treated by the franchise since his arrival in 2010."I am excited to announce that we have extended head coach Pete Carroll through the 2021 season," said Jody Allen, Seahawks chair and trustee of the Paul G. Allen Trust. "This will continue the championship culture that we have created in Seattle."Carroll's not one to rank or dissect his performance past, but when considering the number of changes Seattle made after missing the postseason a year ago, it is an impressive job from the 67-year-old. In August the question was how bad will the Seahawks be as they undertook a significant rebuild? In December and with the playoffs on the horizon, it's become how far can they go?"It was a smack in the face. It was a smack in the face to say we would be that bad because that's really, really bad to win four games," Seattle linebacker K.J. Wright said. "This team is much better than that. I appreciate it. I appreciate them saying that. I've been in the business of proving people wrong."Carroll's role in advancing Seattle's rebuild to the point of being in the playoffs started in the offseason. The roster was remodeled and his staff underwent its most massive overhaul of his tenure. Within all those changes, Carroll stayed true to the style he wanted Seattle to play. It was getting those new coaches and players to buy into that belief and style, then translating it into victories on the field where Carroll has succeeded.As Carroll said Monday in referencing John Wooden, "You don't change your philosophy year to year, your players change.""You either believe in something or you don't," Carroll said. "I think just staying the course and knowing we're on to something. Believing in the history. We know what we're capable of doing. We've shown it over a lot of years. You're always adapting, but it's staying what you're true to. I think that's what is happening. We look like a team that we have seen before Authentic K.J. Wright Jersey , and that's powerful."Sticking with a philosophy means Carroll doesn't intend to sit any of his regulars for Week 17 unless injury dictates they could use a break, or the game gets out of hand and Seattle is given an opportunity to rest some players. A win over Arizona in the finale would give Seattle its sixth 10-win season under Carroll and ensure a meeting with the Cowboys, who the Seahawks beat in Week 3 for Seattle's first win."We have to keep doing what we're doing to keep the momentum going and the precision that it takes to keep sharp and all that," Carroll said.NOTES: Carroll clarified that G J.R. Sweezy suffered a sprained foot and not an ankle injury in Sunday's victory. He did not have a prognosis whether Sweezy would play in Week 17. ... RB Rashaad Penny (knee) and RT Germain Ifedi (groin) both intend to play in Week 17 after missing the win over Kansas City. Carroll said both were close to being able to play against the Chiefs. ... Seattle has a better idea what is going on with S Tedric Thompson after he missed Sunday's game with a chest injury. Carroll said Thompson has an issue with air in the tissue on the outside of his lungs that must go away before he can be cleared to play. Thompson did some running on Monday and is scheduled to have tests done on Wednesday.Seahawks must beat Cowboys for their own peace of mind At the end of the day, it won’t really be the record that matters. Of course records do matter. They always matter. But whether the Seattle Seahawks are 0-3 or 1-2 after facing the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, the thing we really want to know is, “Did they play like the Pete Carroll Seahawks that we used to know?”Because if they spend another game playing from behind the whole time, then being 1-2 won’t really matter with 13 more games left to play and few reasons to believe that Seattle is capable of winning many of those. Not if they play as poorly at home as they have on the road.The Seahawks won their first three home games in 2017, including a blowout over the Indianapolis Colts and that thrilling 41-38 victory over the Houston Texans, but since then are 1-4 at CenturyLink. Not since 2008 has Seattle had that bad of a stretch at home, meaning that even Jim Mora avoided losing four of five in friendly confines. With that in mind, Carroll fired his offensive and defensive coordinators, plus his offensive line/assistant head coach. He greenlit the release of Richard Sherman, the trade of Michael Bennett Youth Bobby Wagner Jersey , the forgoing of an extension for Sheldon or Paul Richardson, the drafting of Rashaad Penny, the effort to reinforce your pass rush with a 21-year-old, the decision to let Earl Thomas dangle in the wind without a contract or a trade —None of these decisions are inherently wrong on their own, or even as a collection of moves. Not if you improve. People can criticize some of these moves all day on Twitter (and they do, with Sheldon being the focal point recently for some reason), but Carroll had a clear plan to not just get younger, he and John Schneider also wanted to be more efficient in how they spent their available cap room. That meant freeing up Sherman’s salary so that they could retain players like Justin Coleman, Dion Jordan, and Bradley McDougald. It meant deciding that Tom Johnson and Shamar Stephen combined was as good or better than having one Sheldon. It doesn’t mean they were always going to be right.It just meant that after making the playoffs every year from 2012-2016, with at least a trip to the divisional round in each of those seasons, and two Super Bowl appearances, and one ring, that Carroll and Schneider deserved the benefit of the doubt. But even if you deem 2018 to be a “learning season” where 8-8 is acceptable because of reliance on a young defensive line http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-russell-wilson-jersey , or installing a new offensive system, or the lack of quality at RCB, or injuries — what won’t be acceptable is continuing to play like an offense that was only ranked ahead of the Browns, Cardinals, and Bills by DVOA ... and that was before Thursday night’s Mayfield moments. Seattle can’t accept a bottom-five offense, especially when there is virtually no possibility of a dominant defense this season. The Seahawks need a convincing win over the Cowboys on Sunday, or they need to reconsider what this season is going to be about.Dallas comes to Seattle ranked 29th in scoring and 30th in yards, having scored just three touchdowns in two games, including two fourth quarter rushing touchdowns; the Cowboys have just one touchdown by Dak Prescott and only one touchdown in the first three quarters of the game. And yet their offense is ranked 11th by DVOA thanks to a number one ranking in rushing offense, no doubt in part because of those two Ezekiel Elliott scores late in their two games. It’s a great opportunity for the Seahawks defense to assert themselves against another offense that is struggling to score touchdowns, but the woes of Russell Wilson and the running backs may continue.The Cowboys have only allowed 29 points and three touchdowns. They already have nine sacks and those have come via eight different players recording at least one. (Demarcus Lawrence, Seattle’s biggest concern at the moment perhaps, has two.) Passing defense coordinator Kris Richard knows arguably as much about the Seahawks defense as Ken Norton does, if not more. He knows Wilson’s habits. He knows Carroll’s tendencies. He may not know Brian Schottenheimer all that well ... but that really doesn’t matter.This is going to be a tough game for Seattle. But they should still win it. And they should still do so in convincing fashion 12th Fan Jersey , at home. That is if they want to prove that they’re better than the last two weeks. That they can make necessary adjustments based on their multiple failures in Weeks 1 and 2. That they can be their own worst critics and face their issues. That they can abandon certain plans that have worked against Wilson and the running game. That 0-2 is not an omen, it’s an anomaly. If they don’t, then it won’t matter if they’re 1-2 or 0-3.If they continue to play poorly, and get a win just because Dallas is playing, more ... pooringly, then you can throw the records out. You can be 3-0, 0-3, 1-2, or 1-1-1, but if you’re not good, you’re not good.It’s time for the Seahawks to prove that they’re not not good.
