An interesting stat for the FFB players

A free suggestion to Pete Carroll.

And I offer this only because the Seahawks coach already has shown an openness to creative player management with sleep studies, biorhythms, yoga, meditation, supplemental hydration, GPS tracking of players’ movements, positive reinforcement, etc.

Here’s my thought: At the start of the next regular season in September, every morning Carroll should have one of the staff cooks roast a turkey and pump the scent into the VMAC headquarters air ducts.

And, so lightly as to arrive subliminally, have some holiday music piped into every meeting room. Maybe blink-quick snippets of “It’s a Wonderful Life” might be spliced between plays of the game videos that they study.

The goal is to replicate at the start of the season the feelings that the Seahawks seem to get near the end every season, in November and December, a span in which they have the best record in the NFL (30-6) since 2012.

Since that season, when Russell Wilson arrived as quarterback and the trajectory of the team angled steeply upward, the Seahawks have won a commendable 61 percent of their games in September and October, but have cranked that up to a lethal 83 percent in November and December.
