Las Vegas Raiders HC Pete Carroll puts pressure on rookies by saying, “Everybody’s watching you”

The oldest coach in the NFL, Pete Carroll, does not believe in depending on one player for his team and the game’s needs. Instead, he gives the same role to multiple guys - so that they give their level best when they get a chance to compete.Depending on one NFL player for most parts of the game puts them under a lot of pressure, but Pete Carroll believes in giving a different kind of pressure to his rookies. Carroll says he’s been doing that for the longest time now(considering he’s only 73 years old now). Anyway, the kind of pressure is - “Everybody’s watching you.” And when an NFL coach instills this kind of pressure into a rookie’s head, the rookie feels like he’s at the NFL Combine every single day and gives his level best, no matter what!

Thunder and Lightning back in the day, whatever it takes to get it done. We’re going to let the guys play for their playtime. Raheem(Mostert), I love having him. He’s an experienced guy. He’s been a great speedster for years. We’ve defended him for years, and he’s been a nightmare for us.

The oldest NFL coach Pete Carroll finds rookie running back Ashton Jeanty to be every bit he had hoped for

On June 13, Pete Carroll shared with Ryan McFadden of ESPN, “Ashton(Jeanty) is every bit what we hoped he would look like. He caught the ball well, understood stuff, took everything seriously, and terrific effort throughout. We made a big deal of him (by saying) everyone’s watching you. He’s embraced the thought of it, and so - it’s going to be exciting to see what happens. This is what I’ve done with rookies for a long time. It just depends on how well you orchestrate what you ask them to do. And if they can find success - that helps our depth and helps us stay competitive.”
