Carroll wants his players to do what they’re supposed to do, but he also wants them to reach a point where their instinct takes over, their experience and training reveal hidden passages, and they make plays other players wouldn’t attempt.
Richard Sherman did the wrong thing.
He wasn’t supposed to leave his receiver alone down the sideline, and he wasn’t supposed to break toward the middle of the field, and he wasn’t supposed to intercept a pass in the end zone. But he did the wrong thing, and by doing the wrong thing, he not only saved the Seahawks’ win at home against the Rams in 2012, he actually did the right thing.
