Geno Smith: "This Will Be A Great Learning Experience" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like change for you guys as
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: an offense first after second half.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Uh, it'd be good to see on film to see
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: exactly what changed. You know, I feel like we just
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: didn't execute when it comes down to it. And uh,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I'll be the first to say that. You know,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: as always you can put that, put that on me.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it's my job to make sure we're ready,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: that we're always prepared, we're always competing, and uh, I
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: just feel like we didn't do that, uh to the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: best of our ability in.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: The second half.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And so you know, it's just one game. Obviously not
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the way we wanted to start. But uh, the the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: good part is that it's not seventeen, so we gotta
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: figure out how to get better from this. And uh,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: we got sixteen opportunities to go out there and write
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: this wrong.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that. I guess, though, are you by the result?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: That's kind of given? You know, I guess the expectation
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you guys.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Have year Honestly, man, it's the NFL, and and uh,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: they're a good team and they got you know, they
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: they're a couple of years to move from winning the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. You know, they got some key players there
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: who help them do it, and so you know, I'm surprised,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yes I am. You know I didn't. I didn't expect
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: to come out and and uh and and lose at all,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: let alone in this fashion. But hats off to the Rams.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: They wanted it more, they played harder, and they executed better.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: How much of a challenge is it to have not one,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but both your tackles go down to start the second
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: half and and try to run the offense the game
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: plan that you had coming into.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean when you lose, you know, any
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of your key guys is going to be a challenge.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But we've got guys who continue to step up, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: so we expect those guys to step up. And I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: don't think they were the reason why we didn't execute.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I think, like I said, when you look
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: at it, you put that on me. You know, I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: got to go out there and play better for the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: guys and make sure that we're on point. But you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it's always a challenge to lose your guys, and we
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: need those guys, you know, they're they're a big part
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of our offense. But you know, when it comes down
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: to execution, I got the ball in my hands, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I got to go out there and make the players
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: no matter what's happening.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You said, the Rams wanted it more. How concerned that one?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You know, that's something that we got to get better at.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: We got to understand that we got to go earn
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it every single play, every single down, every single game.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it's the NFL.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I know, we got a lot of young guys who
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: for their first time are playing regular season football. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I might not know how hard you gotta play to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: go out there and get wins, but they don't come easy.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And so I think this is gonna be a great
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: learning experience for us. I think we can look at
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: these moments later on down the season and say that
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: we gained from it. But you know, obviously it's things today,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and it sucks, it really does.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It sucks. Yeah. I hate losing, you know, I don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: like losing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: But the one thing I do know about this team
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and myself is that we're gonna get back to work
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and come tomorrow, you know, really starting tonight, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get back to work and fix things and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: figure out how to be better for next week.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: And Wai does this need to be a wake up call?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I hope so it better be.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: You know, we don't we don't. Uh, we don't lose
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: at home. You know, we can't do that and let
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: alone in this fashion. And so for a lot of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: guys around here, including myself, we gotta look ourselves in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the mirror, you know, point the finger at ourselves.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And figure out how to get better. You know. Uh
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the touchdown in the second quarterback after can take us
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to that point. Uh.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a you know, a great play call
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: by Shane. We got some man and man coverage right
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: down there, and you know, DK he ran a great out,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: got opened.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I was able to find them in the end zone
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and it was great. Great to have that happen. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: got other touchdown opportunities, and the first dass that you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: set up for field goals field goal draves? Was that disappointing? Yeah, yeah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: very disappointing.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: We talk about you know, scoring touchdowns, finishing drives. Uh,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that's a big emphasis for our offense. And so you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: know when we get down there in the in the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you know, in the strike zone around the fifteen twenty
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: yard line, Uh, you know, we gotta keep you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: moving the chains until we get into the end zone,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and I feel like we kind of stalled. There's some
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: things that we can do better, and uh, you know
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be important for us to fix those.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Things moving on, you know, into the future. What did
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you see your field to make you think the Rams
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: wanted by the score? Just by the score.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I mean they went out and they executed. They they
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: did what they were supposed to do. Uh, it was
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a tough environment. Our fans were rocking, it was it
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: was loud out there, and it wasn't easy, but uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: they found a way, and so I think that's something
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: that you know, obviously we will see those those guys again.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But you know, it just looked like, you know, they
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: were playing harder and that's why they won. So right,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you're actually sorry, ready, what would you what happened? Very young?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Uh man, that was a big disappointment.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But uh, overall, just we didn't execute, you know, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that's something that we'll be able to look at on
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: film figure out a way to get better from it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But uh, you know, just from from my vantage point
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: without watching the film, it just felt felt like we
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: didn't execute to the best of our ability.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Up but there was fourteen black quarterbacks who started in
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Week one. I just wondering what that means to you
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to be part of that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's a tremendous honor, you know, just to be
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: able to start, and uh, you know, I guess that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of history making and uh, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, really know what to say
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: about that right now. I'm kind of just stuck on
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the game. But you know, I guess I'll say I'm honored.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Anything else. Thanks you though, Thank you guys singing
