Regarding Earl Thomas giving the Seahawks’ bench the middle finger while being carted to the locker room, HC Pete Carroll said people should “give him a little slack.”

“People that are criticizing whatever happened don’t understand. This was an earth-shattering moment for a kid. He’s trying to play this game he loves and all of sudden this happens again. He knew exactly what happened to him so he went right to what it’s going to take to get back,” Carroll said, via ESPN.com.

“He had it all just totally figured out and was as emotional as you can get. … Give him a little slack. This is a very, very difficult moment that most people wouldn’t understand what that was all about.”
