On the day after the Seattle Seahawks returned home from the Super Bowl last year, assistant head coach/defense Rocky Seto got back on a plane and headed to California.
He had made a commitment to the California Interscholastic Federation to talk to high school coaches about a topic he's become an expert on: tackling.
Seto coached 11 seasons at USC before joining Pete Carroll's staff in Seattle in 2010. He has been at the forefront of the team's mission to promote a new way of tackling, a rugby-type style the coaches believe is more fundamentally sound and safer than traditional methods.
