From Inside Training Camp Live: #Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald joined the show to discuss his plans to run it forward and provide an update on their camp.
Pete Carroll explains how he responded in real time to the goal-line interception that ended the Seahawks’ Super Bowl
“I asked them, 'how many guys think it's the greatest thing in the world to win the superbowl? Raise your hand.' A bunch of them raised their hand. Then I asked, 'how many think it's the greatest thing to come back and win it again?' They didn't know what to do with that..”
“Show that you can do it again. Show that you’re real. Show that no matter what happens, you can still be you to the freaking moment.”
“You guys were so mad at me. So pissed. Hurt. But that play just happened. It wasn’t by design. There was no foreshadowing. No intent. No agenda. That play just happened.”
“We had one timeout. So as soon as we got to the goal line I'm saying, one of these plays, we’re going to have to throw it to get all four plays. I'm always trying to make sure we get all four shots.”
“We run the first play, the Patriots were late and sent in the goal line team, we had already sent in '11', so we we're in '11' versus their goal line team. So that went through the play callers thought process. That's what led to throwing it on that down. If we gotta throw one of these downs, so we get all our chances...”
“We had practiced it a million times. I was rock solid on the philosophy of it. It wasn’t by design. There was no agenda. It was just the way we had prepared. It was the worst play that could ever happen. It turned all of that so dark, so instantly.”
“I thought, ‘I’ve got to take this.’ This is one of those moments that you prepare for. You’ve got to be the epitome of poise. Handle it. Deal with it. Own it.”
“There’s nothing you can say that’s going to put it any other place. It was as catastrophic as any moment could be.”
