Carroll Praises Jamal Adams' Performance at Linebacker in Seahawks' Recent Game

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll recently praised safety Jamal Adams for his standout performance in a new role during the team's recent game. Adams, traditionally a safety, was deployed in a linebacker role, where he demonstrated his usual aggressive and attack-oriented style of play. Carroll was quick to highlight the impact of Adams' physicality and intensity, which played a significant role in the defensive scheme.

"He's always been a very aggressive, attack-oriented player," Carroll said. "That’s what separated him from others in his past." The coach emphasized that Adams' ability to bring pressure and disrupt plays has been a key factor in his success, both in his current position and in the past.

Adams' shift to linebacker was part of the Seahawks' effort to experiment with different defensive alignments. The change allowed Adams to utilize his skills in new ways, bringing additional versatility to Seattle’s defense. His natural instincts and hard-hitting style were evident throughout the game, as he consistently made plays near the line of scrimmage and was involved in several key stops.

While the experiment is still in its early stages, Carroll’s comments reflect his belief in Adams' potential to thrive in various roles. With his ability to disrupt offenses and play at a high level, Adams has shown that his value to the team goes beyond his traditional position. As the Seahawks continue to explore ways to use him, Adams' adaptability could become a major asset for the defense moving forward.
