1. The offense can still get better, and that's a scary thought.

The Russell Wilson-led offense is scoring at an impressive clip – 35.5 points per game is second to the Packers, who play their fourth game Monday night. Still, Carroll sees areas where the unit can improve. Sunday's game in Miami – where the Seahawks scored 31 points – was the lowest scoring output of the season.

"We can get so much better and we can do so many more things cleaner, but we really do have firepower," Carroll said. "The protection has given Russ a chance to stand back there and really see the field really well. He'll take you through three or four plays where he wishes he'd thrown the ball differently or to a different guy. But all in all, it's turned out that we're very explosive and we're efficient. The only number that's not staying up there is third down numbers. We're just not as good on third downs as we'd like to be, but as you've noticed we don't have as many (third downs). We have a lot of explosives happening on earlier downs. So, that's an area for us to continue to emphasize, but it is a fun group."

On third down this season, the Seahawks are at 38.5 percent (15 for 39), which ranks 23rd in the NFL. It's a small issue to nitpick, but that's pretty much all you can do when the team is scoring over 35 points per game. The Seahawks' 39 third down attempts are second-fewest among teams that have played four games, as Carroll alluded to the big plays on earlier downs.
