| Seahawks WR Mike Williams Will Start At Split End | | |
Wide Receiver Mike Williams is starting at split end for the Seattle Seahawks in their first game under Pete Carroll. No one can credibly accuse Carroll of playing favorites with one of his former players at USC either, he promised nothing to Williams and the coaching staff has kept pressure on the 26-year-old. Praise for Williams was scarce, particularly early in the offseason. Coordinator Jeremy Bates, given a chance to gush about Williams during camp, instead complained about the receiver missing a couple practices. "I was probably tougher on him than anybody," Carroll said Wednesday, "because of my background with him and knowing him and knowing inside of it and all, and probably more thrilled than anybody to see him get to this point where he's got a significant role to play on this team now." Carroll shot down claims that the Seahawks have taken a step backward while retooling for the long term and didn't say anything negative about former wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, but there was room to read between the lines on his comments Wednesday. "We just went through to figure out, in all aspects of the team, not just the wide receiver position, who are the best guys for us to play the games, who fit together with our personnel," Carroll said.
