Pete Carroll: Botched punt wasn’t a fake
One of the mystifying plays in the game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 Sunday came on fourth down just minutes before halftime. The Seahawks, facing 4th & 9 from their own 20 yard line lined up for a Michael Dickson punt, and what transpired next was not a punt, but rather absolute disaster.
The announcers calling the game were under the impression that it was a fake punt where Dickson tucked it to run. However, after the game Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll provided an alternative explanation that shed a little more light on what transpired.
