 Coach Todd, after what happened last week, how would you assess the way things went down as far as your play calling and just the overall performance? Overall performance is pretty easy to assess. It was well shy of our standard in just about every area. We've got to be smooth from top to bottom. It starts with me and my operation, making sure I get guys in and out and prepared. I look forward to the next opportunity to right some wrongs. Now obviously this offense has been based off of a lot of play action. Didn't really see a lot of that this past week. Was there anything in particular that made you get away from it? Yeah, being in second and long and third and long the entire game. It's pretty hard to run your offense, you know, your base game plan when you're behind the sticks that much. And so if you don't get first downs and you don't get into drives, you're not going to get much of the normal down distance call sheet called. And so that was the major factor. You know, there are a couple that we tried to run in there and obviously some that didn't have a lot of success. But mainly it was because we just didn't have the opportunities. One point there in the second half you ran it with Derek like five times in a row I think. Is that just trying to establish a mindset there at that point? Yeah, you know, I think that certainly that's a foundation of who we are as an offense. And again, some of the situations in the game dictated throwing the ball a little bit more. But we're trying to establish an identity and don't want to get too far away from that regardless of what the situation is. So we're going to give the whole line of opportunities to fire off the ball and we're going to give Derek opportunities to break tackles and see runs multiple times. And I think that's probably what you saw. The entire performance, Todd, what surprised you the most on that? You know, I just thought our sense of urgency and energy to start the game wasn't where it needed to be. And it took us a little too long to kind of wake up. And that certainly put us behind the eight ball, put our defense behind the eight ball. And that's something that we've got to get fixed and get fixed quickly. How do you think that is and what were the conversations like on the sideline during that first quarter? Yeah, you know, some of those conversations we keep in house. You know, you guys saw some of the conversations going on between players. You know, to give you a reason, I will say honestly, I'm not sure. But I know that whatever it is, we've been turning over every stone to make sure it doesn't happen again. Todd, you mentioned how, you know, the sense of urgency just wasn't there. Now, how do you fix that in a week's time? What can you guys do to make sure that doesn't happen again? Yeah, getting back to the basics and the fundamentals, you know, and just doing the little things in our system the right way. It all starts there because if you just assume that the little things are going to be there, you know, sometimes you go to lean on them and they're not. And so, you know, it's really important for us, you know, to do those little details the right way and have a great sense of urgency in our preparation. That's coming back from injury, Taylor and Julio too. Probably at games where I would think weren't up to their standards. Is that a little bit expected coming back from the long time off or, you know, were there other factors that played into that as well? You know, I think anybody we put out there on the field, there's a standard, you know, that we expect to be met. And so, I think both of those guys would tell you that there are a lot of people that didn't reach our expectation, our standard on Sunday. So, signaling, singling anybody out, you know, is a little bit irrelevant for me at this point. You know, I think all of us need to improve and I think that that expectation doesn't change whether you've been in there for 50 practices or, you know, 50 seconds. You know, if you take the field as a tighten, there's a certain way we do things. Quick hitting slants and crosses seem to be AJ's bread and butter a lot of times, probably for Julio too, and counter the pressure. It didn't seem like you got into any kind of flow with those. Were they there or could they have been there? You know, I think that there are certainly some opportunities to hit them. I think that they're, you know, even the second play of the game, you'd see some of those quick hitting slants and play actions. They are not play actions necessarily, but quick slants. You know, there are a lot of determining factors to whether those quick hitting shots can be there and certainly part of that is where we're at in the game. You know, dinking and dunking and hitting some short passes when you're down 18 points isn't real conducive to coming back and winning. So a lot of stuff went into that. Again, you know, we know the strengths of our players, you know, and certainly it's my job to put them in the best position to succeed. We just got to get into more drive so we can call some of that bread and butter stuff. What is that lack of urgency you guys had earlier in the game? Do you feel like you might have been able to go to a little more tempo to create that earlier in the game? Because I noticed you did it a little bit later, but do you feel like you could have done it earlier? Yeah, we went to some tempo earlier in the game as well. You know, did it out of a 21 set, you know, and didn't have as much success. Again, if you don't pick up yards and sustain drives, tempo looks like a three and out. You know what I mean? You know, it's important for us to be able to move the chains and get the drive started, and then we can open up all those, you know, other factors. What do they do well? What are the challenges facing the Seahawks? How important do you think it is to kind of establish the run early? Yeah, they play with a great demeanor and attitude. They're flying around the field. They're a well coached unit, and, you know, they're playing hair on fire. So we've got to match their intensity, match the environment, and go out there with the right kind of mindset from the first snap. How much of that was just losing battles up front, especially on first down? How do you kind of fix that? I mean, is that guys coming back from injury being rusty? What do you kind of attribute that to? Yeah, you know, I think, as I mentioned earlier, there's no one position group that I think you could single out and say, you know, hey, this is attributed to them. There's stuff to be fixed at every single group with every single position, and certainly that includes coaching. And so we'll get that stuff addressed. You know, we play a certain brand of football around here, and part of that is, you know, winning the line of scrimmage, and, you know, we've got to do that on a more consistent basis. You mentioned before that that A.J. Brown kind of fits that playmaker mold again. You want to get the ball to, he didn't get a target until there were five minutes left in the first half. Is that something you regret and hope to maybe turn around moving forward? Yeah, I think sometimes we can get targets confused with opportunities, you know, and sometimes just because he wasn't targeted on a play doesn't mean he wasn't first in the progression. You know, and so I don't get too caught up into numbers of targets. There are certain plays that we, you know, designed to make him primary in the read, and just because he didn't get the ball doesn't mean he wasn't primary in the read. You mentioned the environment, Coach, just on top of the play in Seattle with the noise and all that, meaning offensive team in terms of communication. Yeah, you know, it takes everybody being on the same page, having great communication, both non-verbal and verbal. You got to be efficient, you know, getting the calls into the, you know, quarterback and handling all the, you know, ebbs and flows of the games with poise. And, you know, I've played up there a few times, so I know what it's like, and it's definitely a very loud environment. So we're going to have to be on top of all that stuff. With all the things that went wrong of being mentioned, what were some of the things that, you know, the positives that you were able to take out a Sunday's game? Yeah, I think, you know, I think once we kind of woke up a little bit, you saw some fight, you saw some of the push in the piles, you know, with Derrick and consecutive runs. Just didn't see it consistent enough. You know, you saw AJ break a couple tackles, make a nice catch on a tight window throw by Ryan. Not a whole lot of positives that you're walking into the meet room and saying, you know, hey, you know, we got to get more of this, but it showed up in small spurts, you know. Josh Reynolds back, and if so, how can he kind of be incorporated into this offense? Yeah, Josh is working his way back, you know, and certainly he shows a versatility at the wide receiver position, can contribute to that group with his expertise and veteran mindset. And certainly, you know, he knows the Seahawks from playing out there against them, which is a nice little bonus. So hopefully we'll see where he's at soon. He's challenged guys, you know, this week. I mean, do you notice guys kind of doing that amongst themselves? And has there got to be like, maybe a balance there as well? Yeah, we're all competitors, you know. I don't think there's a man in that locker room or in that coaching staff, you know, that felt real good on Monday morning, you know. And we're going to grind through this and figure out the way to fix the things that we need to fix. And I believe in the group that we have, and I believe in the accountability of this team and leaders holding people accountable, you know, coaches holding their players accountable and holding each other accountable. So, you know, I think we have the right culture here to bounce back quickly. Got to find the most challenging yourself, Todd, after, you know, first time in four years, I think, or so, getting back to the play style, what was the biggest challenge, I guess? Yeah, you know, I think, I think getting through that first rough patch, you know, where you couldn't script a worse first quarter than we had, you know. Even on some bread and butter plays, you know, the sack fumble to the one-yard line was a bread and butter keeper that we've run dozens of times around here, right? And so, getting through that first push of figuring out what's going to work, what personnel grouping you can get in to settle things down, all that, you know, working through that process, you know, certainly can be more efficient, so.
