• The 62-year old Carroll is in his eighth season as an NFL head coach (fourth with the Seahawks). He is a former Vikings and Gophers assistant.
• On his impression of Harvin … "He's extraordinarily competitive. Fierce competitor and we couldn't ask for an attribute that we champion more here in our program."
• On his battered offensive line … "We really missed three guys out of last week's game that have a chance to be back this week."
• On the number of former Vikings players/staff on the Seahawks … "It seems like, for whatever reason, it got connected and we keep bringing in guys that played for the Vikings. I have no problem with it."
