Drew Lock: "The Key Takeaway Is To Finish In The Red Zone" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: What's going on? What true would you like about the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: opening front? Yeah, finishing in the red zone was probably
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the plus there. Good put together a good set of plays.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Moved the ball well, ran the ball well. Guys got
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the ball in their hands, they made plays with it.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Montory had a great catch in the end zone, and uh,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: just we finished. I think that's the key takeaway or
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: what we need to work on, is just finishing in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the red zone. A lot of trust in that he
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: didn't turn and see that balls was almost on. Yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and when you're that you know, when you're that tight
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: down there in the red zone, there's not a lot
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of time for you know, patting the ball and seeing
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: guys come out of breaks. You know, we've obviously practiced
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that play before and built some built some good chemistry
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on it. And you know, I trust him on Tori
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and he made a great catch. So he makes at
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: least one every day. What if you thought of the summer,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: he said, Yeah, he should have made two today if
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I don't overthrow him on that uh ball on the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: left sideline. He's had a great summer. He's had a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: great summer. I think I said it. I forgot what
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I was saying it too. But you know the journey
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: he's been on from the previous year till now. Man,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: he's he's light years away from where he was and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: he's been fantastic for us. Makes great plays, explosive of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the ball in his hand, Reliable, he's gonna catch the ball. Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I know, nothing but nothing but compliments for him. Mike. Uh,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Mike would say kind of the operation wasn't great at
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: times today? What I like, I said, he any reason
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you could feel for that at all? Or yeah, you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: working through some working through some kinks early. You know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: we we expect perfection in the operation side. That's something
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that we preach. And uh, that obviously wasn't there tonight.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Something we need to continue to press through training camp.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And I think you know, obviously the quarterback room can
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: lead that. And and we're going to were you've been
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: hearing all plays through your new offensive coordin or off
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of camping went up. But anything different tonight or anything
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: different than new about that? No, I thought it was great.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: We mixed in the wristband a little bit, No I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I I I it was actually it was actually seamless.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: First time, first time really hearing them call wristband and
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: flipping in and out from a wristband call a non
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ristband call. I thought the communication was great, and you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: know it's it's been worked on over camp and to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: be able to mix in the wristband mix in a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: real call for the first time tonight Live Bullets, it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: was it was great. Do you use the wristband at
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: all last season? The preseason? Uh? I don't remember about preseason.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I know I know we did regular season. Uh it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just about every one of them on there. Sometimes they
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: can get a little wordy, and it's just I know
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: there's multiple different beliefs on wristbands, non risk bands, whatever,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: whatever makes it easiest, it's I think it's for the better.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Is that usually the Q quarterbacks or the coordinator's preference
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: or a combination of the two. I'd say it's a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: combination of the two. I've been in multiple different systems
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and some put the whole game plan on there somewhere
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: just third down, a red zone. We didn't use it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of years when I was in Denver. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: think it's just a preference thing. And was it mostly
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you said it was mostly on the risk band last year? Uh? Yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: mostly if not all of them on the wristband. Actually
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that's false. It was not all of them. It was
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: mostly Now that I'm thinking about it more, it was
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: not all of them. We would do a meeting every
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: night on a Saturday and go through all the ones
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that were non risk banded to call them out and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: keep Practicingos like opened his comments so they can tart
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: out the crowd for a preseason game. Big did you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: send the difference for him? Yeah? That was awesome. It
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: was awesome even like you know, when when you finally
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: get told the days done, you kind of absorb a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: little more and just looking around late in the third
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and early fourth, it's like, wow, this place is actually packed.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's super cool. Again, nothing that we don't know, but
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: shout out to the twelves best fan base ever. It's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: super cool that they'd come out and support us tonight.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Weird thoughts on the with the quarterback rotation was today,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Like Mike said, that switch up from the past where
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like you might have played like the whole first half
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and the Jalen comes in. How does that impact rhythm? Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, it's definitely new. I had done a lot
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: of different ways. This is my first time doing it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: this way. I feel like, honestly it is a uh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it's a good way as a as a backup guys.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Obviously me and Jalen aren't gonna be the starters this year.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Kind Of being able to go to get pulled out
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: sit a little bit kind of feels like a normal
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Sunday where you're just getting thrown in if something were
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to happen. You kind of feel that way about how
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the rotation went tonight, And it's a good thing to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: practice for us. I think to get to this point
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: where you're finally going to get somebody else next week
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you go on the road. You know what's that journey
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: been like a camp as you take these steps forward
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: now as it gets closer to be real. So sweet, Yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I I We've had a great camp. We've came to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: work every single day. Every room has Honestly, it's been
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It's been really impressive to watch the guys work. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I know it's always exciting to go on your first
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: road trip as a team and you got everybody you've got,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: however many players we have all going on this trip
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and get to get to build the brotherhood a little
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: bit and hang out and go to somebody else's place,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: feel that energy. It it it. It feels different than
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: being at home and going against each other all the time.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Being able to go do a little practice, uh with
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the Titans will be cool. And yeah, it's awesome to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: get on the road and you know, feel like you're
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: not wanted anybody else. Guys, make sure
