Pete Carroll remains confident in Chris Carson despite the fact that the running back has lost a fumble in each of the Seattle Seahawks' three games.

"Because we do believe in him, we're going to continue to show him that," Carroll said. "He's a terrific football player, and we want to make sure and maintain that level of play from him so we'll work at it, work with him on it."

Carson's three fumbles don't include one from last week in Pittsburgh, when he was hit and upended right as he took a handoff from Russell Wilson. That fumble was officially attributed to Wilson.

"I just have to keep trying to get better," Carson said. "The defense is going to try and go after the ball so I have to be aware of that."
