Opens saying we need to find some answers for our issues that happened. Said we didn't execute well and they did some great execution on the Special Teams. Said we played much better in the second half but we still need to work on things.
Says there is a lot of frustration with the guys, but they'll deal with it and fight their ways back. Said the guys were really really disappointed that we weren't able to finish that game.
On the commitment to the running game...said we just played normal football. Said we weren't hitting it early but we kept at it and it showed in the second half.
On Rams drive scoring to answer late in the game. Said it's not something we are used to. Said they know they have to get that done.
Says they are using the same formula from last year on pass rush but they aren't getting the pressure they are used to. Said there are a few things they need to work on but wouldn't elaborate on those things.
Rough week for injuries. Marsh and Coleman both breaking their foot and Willson straining his groin all outside of actual game performance. Said we miss Maxwell and Wagner and Miller but that's not a reason for not winning.
On the officials. He says they know the refs aren't out to get them, but he understands how people can feel that way. Says they just have to deal with it.
On penalties. Said they are working on it. Said that they had 3 major penalties on a scoring drive and they just can't do that. He believes the offesne when rolling can overcome 5 yard penalties, but key defensive penalties result in other teams scoring more points and that can really hurt the outcome.
On the trade reaction. Said he thought the guys responded very well and the receiving group handled it very well. Said the guys understood and the team will move on. Said the trade was about the team moving forward being true to the team and that was the reason for the trade (wouldn't go into specifics).
Said he put a lot into making it work with his players (including Percy) and sometimes it doesn't work. Says he takes it hard when he can't make it work. Says he told John that he'd make it work when they agreed to make the trade and that he didn't get it done.
on Russell Wilson. Said that the game was a product of the players around him. Said Lynch ran very physically even if it didn't add up to a ton of yards. Said Cooper and Turbo came through today. Said Russell took advantage of his opportunities.
Says he's more encouraged today even after the loss. Says things are swinging in the right direction. He understands how people can be a bit down right now, but there's a lot of football left to play. Said we'll start getting injured guys back soon and that will help as well.
The fake punt return. Said we'd talked about it in the past but hadn't really worked on it. Said it shouldn't have really happened. Said we are usually more disciplined than that, but said they executed it perfectly and we have to give them some props.
Said he didn't think they'd try for the fake punt on 4th and 3 deep in their own territory. Said we should have had it covered but didn't.
Said several injured players are still day to day and there's no news on them.
Said they are always looking out for players to make the team better.
That's it for this show. He has a presser later today
