Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll expects to have his starting cornerbacks available this Sunday in Chicago

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll wants his starting cornerbacks day in Chicago.

After that, it is anyone's guess.

Carroll said Monday that he plans to the Bear Richard Sherman and Brandon Brown hit this week, even though they may be faced with a four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy, improve the achievements of the possibility of drug.

Carroll did not say much in his regularly scheduled media availability, they tried to violating the league rules. However, his belief that Sherman Brown will be able to play the the potential Seattle this season's most important game.

"As of now, I am going to fight those guys," Carroll said.

ESPN.com first reported Sunday afternoon, after the the Miami Seahawks 24-21 loss Bronner Sherman faced the suspended solids and to make an appeal. The team said Sunday night, it knows that the report, and in accordance with the Union's collective bargaining agreement, players can continue to play until you hear appeals and settlement.

Is limited, it can be said that may ultimately suspended solids, and Carroll said he would not comment further until there are some solutions team.

"Because it is so important, we do this right, I will not comment on anything, this is the best way to do this, because this is the issue of the Union," Carroll said. "At this point, I want to keep it, and hope you can respect, we must do this way, we can talk about it later."

After Carroll's news conference ended with Seattle reporters in a telephone interview · Brown's agent, Peter Schaeffer, said his client only failed the test last week received notice.

, "Schaffer said:" Brandon Brown did not know how to get into his system, any illegal substances may get. "He is a good person, a good football player, he spent a great care of his body, he was very careful, he put it. Way we are exploring, trying to find any substance common in his system. "

Schaefer said, the the usual coalition plans to appeal within 20 days after the notice is received, as the case may be. He did not provide specific details Brown's attraction will occur.

"It is too early to tell what the witnesses and evidence, experts will be what is needed, so there is no way to even guess at this point," he said.

Sherman, an active participant in social media, posted on his Twitter account Sunday night after arriving in the Northwest Territories, "This problem will soon be solved, and the truth will come out, do not worry about . "

If Bronner Sherman was found guilty of violation of the policy of the Union, they will be in the fourth and fifth Hawks players offenders in the past calendar year. Guard John Moffitt was suspended for four games at the end of last season. Team reserve offensive striker Alan Barbre pause be released in the first four games before this season, once he was suspended. And just last week, rookie safety Winston Guy and handed a four-game ban after taking non-prescription products, there are the ingredients of a banned substance, according to his agent.

Does not affect those suspended Bronner and Sherman, with the Seahawks efforts to adhere to the final NFC wild card points, it can not be a worse time. Seahawks (6-5) and Lie Tanpa Bay and Minnesota, but hold the tiebreaker.

Seattle's defense is based on their cornerbacks play man coverage, and the ability of the receiver is locked. Sherman Brown makes strong safety Kam Chancellor to play at the line of scrimmage in run support, and the opportunity to provide free safety Earl Thomas roaming secondary with his speed.

Two Miss Seattle veteran Marcus Trufant and youth Trio - Walter Thurmond, Byron Maxwell and Jeremy Lane - to fill the point. Trufant is a start, until the injured in the 2011 season, Seattle has been hoping Thurmond will be developed into a key factor, but he has been plagued by injuries slowdown. Thurmond is an active game, a year after the start of the season, the body is unable to perform list.

"They have, especially in its effectiveness and its a lot of ways, we ask them to play it suits them very well, it is suitable for them has been a major factor in our way we love" playing ...... it how the future development of our players, when they get a chance, they can play a level and style, we hope, "Carol said." We still try and customized athlete and what he can do , they are able to do things, we have been looking at it so that we expect our play. Some people than others to play a little different, we have a pretty good guys fighting for our versatility, I think. '
