Mike Macdonald: "We Have To Go Make It Right" · Seahawks Press Pass

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All right. I mean that that's that's the result of
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a good football team that outplayed us in three phases
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and uh, and then it gets out of him when
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: when you're doing the things that we we did today, uh,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: where we didn't help ourselves as well, So we can
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it's a laundry list of things. We could go line
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: on them by line on them if you want, But
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the long and short of it is, uh, we got
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: out played, we got out coached, and uh we got
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to go make it right. So I mean, I feel
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: like it's too often that we've had this conversation with
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you guys of going back to work on Tuesday and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and hitting this thing head on and seeing if we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: can get this thing turned around. And against the good
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Rams team coming in here, how different is that game?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Feel?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: If you capitalize in the red zone with those two
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: second uarter trips, well, I mean that's uh, it's hard
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to tell if it you know it flips, but you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: know you're you feel like you're right in it. So
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I mean it's again it's a story of red zone,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: then being stop getting stops in the red zone that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we need, and then not being able to run the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: ball in inside the five yard line, So we need
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to be better there for sure. The one I guess
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Ritino fell back. What happened on that is just I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: think you just got stepped on. You guys might have
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: seen it. I didn't see. They either got tripped or
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: got stepped on.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Just a big picture looking at the Misky's made today,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: how'd you feel the guys were trying to handle that
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in the moment it seemed like obviously Derek and Jared
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's some frustration there, and uh, look, our
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: guys are they're connected and they have each other's backs,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: but they are emotional. You know, there's some there's gonna
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: be flare ups and stuff. So I'm not it seems
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: like a calm down. But it wasn't a smart penalty,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you know, just that's not how we how we train
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: our guys to attack quarterbacks. And so that was a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that was a that wasn't a smart move.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Where's your concerned level at now? With where the run
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: game is at the second time, and I believe three
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: or four games you guys have gone out there with
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: under two and two point two yards per care you
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just can't seem to.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Get any Yeah, it's a. I would say, it's a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: major can so we got to get it. We got
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to make it right. You know, if I knew like
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the one answer, i'd give that to you right now.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But it seems like it's it's a litany of things.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So we gotta we gotta go to work on it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: You know, right now, we can't control the temple of games,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: so I gotta go to work too. And you up
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: date on Draymond Jones. I think did he come? He
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: finished the game? Right? Yeah, we'll see, but I think
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you finished the game, so we'll kind of take it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: from there. Was DK close to playing it all? I mean,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I want I want to word it in the way
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of like that everyone this guy is a as. I mean,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he's only missed what two games in his career, so
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I think that speaks for himself on his work ethic.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: And I know you're trying to do everything humanly possible
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to play. So but it became clear kind of later
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the week that he wasn't gonna be able to go.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: How much of an impact I mean, I guess it's obvious,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: but how much of an impact seeing it with not
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: having him? Do you think out on the offense, especially
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the way they sat down the running game. No, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: mean we I mean you can ever replace I mean
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: DK metcalf Is one on one. But you know, we
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: got a lot of really good We've got players that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: can play, and so we expect them to go in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and execute at a high level. And we need to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: be able to move the ball in the on the ground,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: hand in the air, and we gotta be able to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: score in the red zone. So you know, DK wouldn't
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: have been out there in the goal line, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: on the one or two yard line.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Would you kind of make of earnest first game with
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you guys as.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Much as you could. Tough to tell, I mean tough
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to tell right now. I felt like you made some
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: plays out in space. We got to look at the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: run game on some of those those runs that were
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: we're getting out figure out what's going on there. Some
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of these games just how tough as the situations Gino's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: been in with you know, the score or the run game.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Just yeah, it's too often that we're in throw mode
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: at the end. Again, it starts with dictating terms to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the other team, controlling the game, the pace of the game,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: taking care of the football, so yeah, we've we've put
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: them in tough situations late in game for sure.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Picking off Josh Allen for the first time in like
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: three hundred pass attempts.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: For him, I mean, what, how what did that kind
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of mean? I guess just as far as that moment,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it was a lone, lone kind of bright spot in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the game. It felt like we had a chance to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: really turn the momentum there, and Josh had great technique
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: on that play and then when the ball had the opportunity,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he took advantage of it. So, uh, that was great
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: at the time. You know, it felt like we were
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: at a chance to get the thame rolling.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: How indicative is or is this not before you are
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in this program right now?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good question. You know, when we
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: talk about stacking wins around here, and when you're going
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on and off back and forth, it's you know, it's frustrating.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you want you want to be able to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: build on on the good things that we're doing so
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we can get our program to where we want it
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to go. And then when you take steps back like today, Uh,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it's very sobering. You know, it's frustrating, and uh, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, this is the NFL and if
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't bring it and have your
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: best against good teams, you're not gonna win those games.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So our guys know that. And uh that's Coast coaches.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: We got to prepare our guys the best we can.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: We gotta call great games. I mean, this whole thing
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: has to keep coming together. So but time is ticking
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: as we say. I mean we're half almost about halfway
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: through the season now and uh, but you take a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: step back. I mean we're right in the thick of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it in the division and this game coming up is
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: going to be a big one.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Really emphasize heavy personnel packages today, extra offensive line in there.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Stuff.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Was that something that you guys were here up for?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And what do you think was giving you guys issues?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Simply you were able to get a lot of big runs.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Out of those package. Well, it's something that they've been doing.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They you know, they kind of it was more then
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they've shown on tape in those situations. But you still
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: have to be ready for it. So we had I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: thought we had a solid plan. Probably had it could
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have some more front flexibility on that front to have
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: some more answers, maybe some more movements, so we'll look
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: at it. Those are things we talked about. I thought,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to adjust throughoute on seeing where
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the balls hitting, to see if we can get some
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: anchor points to where we can play it or play
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: blocks better. So there's a combination of not trying to
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: scrap what you have, but also maybe maybe just kind
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of calm it down. So but it wasn't good enough,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you know, when they went to there, when they're a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: big twelve personnel, And do.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: You even have a good read on whether your best
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: would be as good as Buffalo and compete with Buffalo's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that yet?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: No, No, I think I think everybody in that field
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: knows our best can compete with them. And looking, I mean,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Buffalo is a great team. They've been doing this thing
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for a long time. The record spiece for themselves. They
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: got great players. That is not a that that's a
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that's a vote of confidence in our guys and our people.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Anything else, all right, thank you,
