So you're Pete Carroll and you're going up against a rookie HC and you don't know what to expect.  The best, most reasonable assumption you can make is that his offense will be the Ram's offense.  First thing you're gonna want to do is make them one dimensional.  Since the strength of your defense is your front seven, it stands to reason that denying the run is the way to go and that's exactly what they did.

If it wasn't for a VERY inopportune heavy rain, an inexcusable 15 yard penalty from a veteran who damn well should know better and a missed FG, we'd be some very happy campers right about now.  I know, woulda, shoulda, coulda, but this seems like a situation where finding the silver lining matters.
