Break it Down: How Michael Bennett became Seattle’s secret superstar | Audibles - SI.com
It was an under-the-radar signing that shouldn’t have been.

Carroll runs what he has called a “4-3 scheme with 3-4 personnel,” and in that personnel, he always has room for unique athletes who bring interesting attributes to the defenses he draws up.
