Pete Carroll to address obscene gesture with Marshawn Lynch ahead of Super Bowl

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll plans to give running back Marshawn Lynch a talking to about his crotch grabs. 

Lynch was fined $20,000 for the obscene gesture during the NFC Championship Game, and the NFL has warned the Seahawks they'll be issued a 15-yard penalty if he does it again during the Super Bowl.

"I haven't talked to him yet about the thing that came up with the league, but that will be addressed," Carroll said Sunday, according to Terry Blount of ESPN.com. "I think he's going to have a great Super Bowl week and have a great time doing this and playing in this game."

Carroll also addressed Lynch's distaste for speaking with reporters.

"First off, let's not miss that he is a very unique individual, and he has a way that we have embraced," Carroll said. "We understand Marshawn and we support him in every way that we can, but he is a very unique guy who has his own way of looking at things.

"He's also a very private person, too. That's part of the media thing. He's not going to express a whole lot to you. I've said before that there's a great deal spoken in his silence as well."
