Sherman's shouting match with players and coaches became a teaching moment for the Seahawks on Monday, a day after Seattle rallied for a 26-24 win over Atlanta . Carroll spent most of his Monday availability talking about emotions, philosophy and what exactly transpired on Seattle's sideline that became as much of a story as the Seahawks improving to 4-1. Sherman's tirade happened after a blown coverage in Seattle's secondary that allowed Julio Jones to run uncovered down the sideline for a 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Carroll said it was miscommunication between Sherman and backup safety Kelcie McCary — playing because Chancellor was injured — that led to Jones being wide open. There were times last year when the Seahawks had communication issues in their secondary that led to uncovered receivers, but they never resulted in a public eruption like Sherman's. Along with his tirade, Sherman was at the center of a controversial no-call on Atlanta's final offensive play when Jones tried to pull in a deep pass from Matt Ryan. Sherman had a grip on Jones' right arm as he attempted to catch the pass and Atlanta's sideline screamed for a pass interference call.
