RENTON, Wash. – Less than an hour before kickoff, in an unexpected turn of events that hadn’t been teased by the team in the week leading up to Monday’s prime time matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll quietly made a bold move in his secondary.

As Seattle transitioned into the team segment of warm ups, though he was active and announced as the starter, reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist Riq Woolen wasn’t in his typical spot at right cornerback with the first-team defense. Instead, after playing well in place of Tre Brown on the left side one week earlier in Santa Clara, veteran Mike Jackson stayed in the starting lineup, signaling Carroll had decided to bench the talented, yet still raw Woolen.
