Seahawks quarterback (QB) Sam Darnold reflects on the offensive struggles in Week 8, noting that the unit could not find a consistent rhythm and that he missed an early third-down opportunity to Wide Receiver (WR) Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Darnold emphasizes that improving first- and second-down efficiency is his top priority to help third-down and red-zone execution fall into place, while addressing points by Head Coach Mike Macdonald and Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury about getting the ball out quicker by being more decisive through his progressions. He also notes that opposing defenses have focused on limiting scramble plays, requiring him to buy more time outside the pocket for his playmakers to get open downfield. Evaluating offensive adjustments with Running Back (RB) Jadarian Price, Running Back (RB) Zach Charbonnet, Guard (G) Quenton Nelson, and Guard (G) Grey Zabel, Darnold praises their practice preparation while taking accountability for game-day execution and highlighting his growing relationship with Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury ahead of facing the Cardinals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp assesses the Seattle Seahawks' offensive performance against the Bears, noting that the unit had too many three-and-outs and short drives and must execute better to keep the ball moving forward . Addressing Quarterback Sam Darnold's off-schedule plays, Kupp praises Darnold as a dynamic quarterback outside the pocket and emphasizes that receivers need to distribute the field better to get open when he extends plays . He also credits the opposing secondary's game plan for disguising coverages and playing aggressively with their safeties in tandem with upfront pressure, stressing that the offense must adjust and make plays . Looking ahead to a short week of preparation before facing Arizona at Lumen Field, Kupp states that the team cannot gloss over its mistakes and must review the film to make corrections and grow . Finally, Kupp highlights Wide Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba as one of the best receivers in the league who naturally commands a high target share, adding that the rest of the offense must compete without the ball and capitalize when opportunities come their way .See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Seahawks safety Julian Love addressed the team's disappointing performance, acknowledging a "disconcerted effort" and lack of complementary football . He highlighted critical defensive breakdowns, particularly a 40-yard screen play on third-and-nine that killed momentum (0:52, 4:56), and emphasized the defense's poor red zone efficiency that needs immediate improvement . Love praised the team's run defense against a strong rushing team but noted that open field throws made things too easy for the opposing quarterback . He described the opposing quarterback as confident with a strong arm and swagger . Despite the frustration of being 4-4, Love expressed optimism that the team is still finding its identity and believes once they catch their stride, they'll be tough to stop, emphasizing the need for better execution in critical situations and improved third-down efficiency (3:32, 4:36).
