FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Pete Carroll knows he cant go back in time to 1997 when he arrived in New England as the Patriots giddy 46-year-old new head coach.But if he could, he says he certainly would have done things a lot differently.Its been 17 years since Carroll was fired after a three-year run in New England and forced to accept his second failed stint as an NFL coach, unsure hed ever get -- or want for that matter -- another shot.But after reviving his career at the University of Southern California and then returning to the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010, he returns to Foxborough and the Patriots home stadium Sunday for the first time since his departure in 1999. It will also be the first meeting between the teams since New Englands 2015 Super Bowl victory denied Seattle back-to-back championships.When I went into New England, I was really committed to being able to bring the philosophy and do it exactly the way you wanted to do it, and be in control of it. It didnt really work out that way, the way I hoped, Carroll said. I wasnt on my game enough to pull that off. It was a great lesson learned.That lesson hardened his coaching style during an eight-year run at USC that included a pair of national championships. The lessons stayed with him when he returned to the NFL in 2010 and when he led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win in 2014.It was even with him when the Seahawks came up a yard short in their Super Bowl 49 loss to the Patriots and his New England successor, Bill Belichick.It makes Sundays rematch one of the most-anticipated games of the season.Carroll said even with the sour Super Bowl memories he has nothing but respect for what the Patriots have built since he left.I think its really awesome to watch New England, he said. When Bill got the job there, (team owner) Robert (Kraft) gave him the chance to take that thing over and run it and do it exactly the way a football guy sees it, and the rest has been a great history and a great success story.The respect is mutual from the other sideline for Carroll and general manager John Schneider.I think that John and Pete have done a tremendous job with that organization, Belichick said. Weve spent a lot of time studying what they do both on the field and in terms of their building -- team building. So weve learned a lot from them from the outside, obviously.Here are some other things to watch for in Sundays game:SUPER BOWL MEMORIES: Patriots cornerback Malcom Butler said his end-zone interception to seal the Patriots 2015 Super Bowl win always brings back fond memories. But hes put all reminiscing out of his mind this week.Thats not gonna help us win this game, Butler said. This is bigger than me. Its about this team. That play will not help us Sunday night. So we gotta be ready to play.RUN AROUND: Seattles run game continues to severely underperform, and changes could arrive this week. The Seahawks rank 30th in the NFL averaging just 75.4 yards per game rushing. Theyre on pace for the fewest yards rushing in franchise history in a 16-game season.Carroll was vague about who would be the primary ball carrier against New England, but did say rookie C.J. Prosise will get more snaps. Christine Michael has been mostly ineffective and Prosise has shown flashes of potential in his limited opportunities. He is a better option as a receiver out of the backfield.BAM BAMS BACK: Strong safety Kam Chancellor is expected to return after missing the previous four games with a groin injury. The timing couldnt be better for Seattle with the problems presented by New England tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett.Chancellor was injured just before Seattles Oct. 16 win over Atlanta and was slow in recovering. Kelcie McCray played well in Chancellors absence, including an astounding 108 total plays in Seattles 6-6 tie with Arizona, but Chancellor brings a mix of physicality and athleticism thats difficult to replace.GRAHAMS GREATNESS: Jimmy Graham continues to defy expectations.There were questions whether Graham could ever return to being a starter in the NFL after a patellar tendon injury in his knee a year ago. Graham is doing more than just starting, becoming Seattles most dangerous option in the passing game. Graham had eight catches for 103 yards and two touchdowns last week against Buffalo, his third 100-yard game of the season.Graham is on pace for more than 1,000 yards receiving and is averaging a career-best 14.3 yards per reception.

After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p. KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Usain Bolt spent a few minutes on the grassy infield of National Stadium after his race Thursday to put himself through some very slow cool-down jogs.It was an easy end to an easy night.Officially beginning his quest for a third consecutive Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter dash, Bolt cruised through the quarterfinals at the Jamaica National Senior Championships, which serve as his countrys trials to decide who goes to the Rio Games in August.No one has ever won three golds in the 100, which is what both Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce could do in Rio. Theyll be among the favorites to qualify for the team on Friday, when the 100 semifinals and finals are held about two hours apart for both the men and women. The 200-meter qualifiers are Saturday, and the semis and finals in that event come when the meet ends Sunday.Bolt completed his quarterfinal in a jog-for-him time of 10.15 seconds. Fraser-Pryce won her quarterfinal in 11.38 seconds.It was about advancement, Jamaican sprint star Veronica Campbell-Brown said.Thursday was little more than an obligatory dress rehearsal for Bolt and the other top Jamaicans. He changed clothes trackside after his race, left his flimsy, white, plastic chair without a word and headed to the infield for a brief workout capped by some photos with fans -- even soome policemen.dddddddddddd As he walked back across the track and into the night, a song blared through the stadiums speaker system.Mi nah falla nobody, was the lyric.Even when translating the lyrics from Patois to English, the message was clear: Bolt doesnt follow anybody, and he doesnt plan to anytime soon. He wasnt the fastest on Thursday; that distinction went to Nickel Ashmeade, who won his heat in 10.07 seconds, but certainly no one would label Ashmeade the favorite for Friday.The closest thing Bolt had to trouble Thursday was a false start in his heat, though it didnt seem to affect him. Jamaicas biggest track names -- Bolt, Fraser-Pryce, Campbell-Brown, Yohan Blake and Asafa Powell -- all advanced out of the quarters with ease.An NCAA champion earned his trip to Rio when Arkansas Clive Pullen -- a Kingston native who was the Division I indoor champion this past winter -- won the triple jump while hitting the Olympic qualifying standard. Hes the first Jamaican to earn a triple-jump Olympic spot in 44 years.To do it on home soil is a blessing, Pullen said.Pullen was already daydreaming about walking into the opening ceremony in Rio in the same group as Bolt.Cannot wait, he said.
