12th Man flying high
The small plane towing a huge 12th Man flag didn't go unnoticed by the Seahawks players on the field at the VMAC after it circled the facility in mid-practice.
"It gave me some goose bumps and chills," said second-year linebacker Aaron Curry. "I'm really looking forward to just rockin' it from beginning to end Sunday. Nothing is like the season opener at home. I expect it to be extremely crazy in there. I expect it to be difficult for anybody to communicate, so it'll really come down to who makes the plays."
Carroll said he's eager to experience the full-bore of the Qwest Field roar.
"I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to being in the stadium with the whole 12th Man factor and the opportunity for our people to go crazy for the Seahawks," he said. "Of course we need to play well to really get them roused up and that's our goal, to get in there and play really good football.
"But to start this new season off and our time here in Seattle with this opportunity to meet the crowd and show for them is a really big deal to me. It's one of the great aspects of this program and I really want to thrill them with the way we play. We'll need 'em. Every team that wants to be a champion has got to play great at home. So hopefully we can get this thing off to a great start this week."
