 offer more help or anything? I mean, we knew coming in that he was a good player, obviously, he's been a really good player his whole career. We were trying to do some things to help and protection. He made some plays. Ryan, how surprising was today's performance? There had been a lot of talk about confidence and not being affected by some of the lack of practice time in the preseason. Can you put a finger on anything today? Yeah, we didn't come out and execute. We didn't have any facet of offense. Missed opportunities, turnovers, the whole thing. We didn't execute the way we expect to and the way we need to to win football games. So the excitement was fine, it was warranted. But at the end of the day, you have to come out and you have to do it. And today, we didn't do it. So we're going to have a chance to take a real look at the way we performed, make the corrections, and get ready to go for next week. How much falling behind obviously make it difficult going in? Do you think guys maybe start pressing a little bit, falling down 17, nothing early? Yeah, getting off to a slow start is never good, right? You're never looking to do that. Then we were able to go score, had a shot at some points right there before half, and thought we were about to get some momentum and get rolling. Fortunately, it didn't stay with us the rest of the game. When you get hit in the pocket that way, is there anything at all you can possibly do to protect the ball better on those fumbles? I'm sure there's something I'll have to take a look at it. The first one, as soon as I turned my head, he was on me quick and just trying to get it out and not take a sack there. Unlucky, he got his hand on my wrist on the ball whenever I was trying to get it out. The second one, I had to take a look at it. It felt like I was going to have an opportunity there to chest there on the back shoulder. And I got hit from the back and didn't see it coming. So we'll take a look at it and work at it this week, whatever I could do there. You had been sacked like this in the game since you've been here. How much did you expect your mindset when you're getting hit like that and got hit on a lot of plays that you weren't sacked on? Yeah, they got after us. Obviously, when you know they're getting after you up front, you want to get the ball out. We had some opportunities to get the ball out quickly and they were doing a good job of getting their hands up when that was happening. You know, had a couple of tip balls on opportunities underneath whenever we were trying to get the ball out quickly. My arm hit on another one. We were going to have the ball out quickly and an opportunity for an after catch. So just wasn't clean enough all the way around. And it starts with me. We have to find a way to make the corrections and come to play next week. Ray will tell us that it felt like to him there was three different groups that were between offense defense, and special teams supposed to come easy. Was that something that you guys felt in real time? I don't know if it felt that way for me personally. I think coming out of half, KB gets a pick. We're able to go down to score, kind of compliment each other right there. I don't know what was happening on offense. I mean, on defense and special teams. But I know offensively, if defense gives up points, we expect to go down and answer right away. And we didn't execute good enough offensively to make that happen enough today. Derek had several men get a carry early. How much did your inability to hold the ball right up the back kind of set that thing in motion? Yeah, they did a good job. They went big people and we're making some plays up front. Seemed like they're moving around a little bit. They made tough runs, right? So we weren't able to establish them early, like we'd like to do. I'll take a look at the tape and see exactly what happened and go from there. And like I said, this is when you guys will learn what your culture really is. How curious are you to have the 53 guys that respond? I have belief that we'll respond in the right way. That we have a bunch of men in that locker room who care for each other and want to win. And we'll find a way to make the corrections, come to practice this week, prepare, and go out to Seattle and win one game. That's the mission at hand right now is to make the corrections and prepare to win one game. So I have confidence in the locker room and the guys. Now, we'll see how it happens. But from what I've seen so far, we have the right kind of guys in the locker room and I think believe we will make it happen. We're rolling into next week, a slow start like you had today. How do you prevent that from happening especially on the road in a very violent place in Seattle? Yeah, guys, come out ready to go. We didn't execute early in the game. Got ourselves in long yard situations, had the turnover, and got down a hole early. And so you've got to find a way to come out and execute. Even if it doesn't happen on the first drive, that you can get something going right after that. And we weren't able to do that today. So I have to come out ready to play confident. We're confident today, but reset and come back with confidence for next week. Ryan, have you been hit that much in a game here before? Have you been hit that much? I don't know. I don't really keep a list of games I've been hit in or anything like that. But they got after us up front for sure. You didn't have much time, Ryan, with this offense with these receivers and training camp preseason. How much can that factor a bit into the struggles today, do you think? I don't know. I'm not going to make excuses. We had opportunities, and just we weren't able to make enough plays. How would you assess your chemistry with Julio and AJ today? I think we had, like I said, we had opportunities. AJ made a couple of big plays for us. Julio made us a big place for us. We had other opportunities that were there, and we weren't able to make them happen. So it'd be a big week for us to reset. I'll have a great week of practice and get ready to go for Sunday.
