How does the loss this week prepare you for the next game?
Let’s be real—this loss was on us. We beat ourselves, plain and simple. The turnovers, the missed assignments, the penalties at the worst possible moments—you can’t win games like that. But what really gets me is hearing that the Seahawks coach was been running his mouth, acting like he’s some kind of mastermind because his team caught a couple of lucky breaks. Let’s get one thing straight: luck doesn’t equal skill. Just because the ball bounced their way a few times doesn’t mean he’s suddenly Bill Belichick. This is a guy who talks a big game but always has an excuse when things don’t go his way. We’ve all seen his skill set fall apart when the pressure’s on, so maybe he should pump the brakes on the victory lap.
And look, I get it—it’s easy to chirp after a win. But let’s not pretend this was some kind of coaching clinic. His team capitalized on our mistakes, not because of some brilliant game plan but because we handed them opportunities on a silver platter. It’s not like they came in and dominated us; they just stood there while we tripped over our own feet. If that’s what he thinks validates his trash talk, then I almost feel bad for him. Almost. Here’s the thing: we’ll clean up the mistakes, and when we see them again, we’ll be ready. Meanwhile, he can enjoy his little moment in the spotlight because, knowing him, it won’t last long. The league has a way of humbling people who think they’ve got it all figured out. And trust me, we’ll be ready to deliver that reality check.
What is the status of Jonathon Brooks and when is he set to return?
Jonathon got dinged up in practice, but thankfully it’s nothing serious. He’s been rehabbing, staying locked in, and he’ll be back and ready to help us in the playoffs next week. The guy’s a competitor—one of those players who you know is itching to get back out there. And when he does, he’s going to give us that extra spark we need to make a run. We’ve got confidence in his ability to step in and make plays when it counts, so we’re not worried about his return.
Now, if this were the Seahawks’ coach dealing with this, you’d probably hear him spinning some elaborate excuse as to why it’s not his fault. That guy seems to live for narratives—always trying to make it sound like he’s overcoming impossible odds when, let’s be honest, half the time he’s creating his own problems. I mean, if Jonathon were on his team, the poor kid would probably get blamed for not ‘toughing it out.’ Instead of scheming to play to his players’ strengths, he’s out there hoping someone like Kenneth Walker III will just carry the whole team on his back so he doesn’t have to adjust. But lucky for us, we don’t operate like that. We support our guys, make sure they’re healthy, and set them up for success. Jonathon’s return next week is going to be big for us, and we’re not about to let some hot-air coach get in our way.
What makes Kenneth Walker III so good?
Kenneth Walker III, or K9 as they call him, is an outstanding running back. He’s got the vision to find lanes, the power to break through tackles, and the burst to turn a simple handoff into a home run. He’s everything you’d want in a feature back, and he’s proven time and again that he’s the real deal. But let’s be honest here: K9 has to be that good, because if he wasn’t, the Seahawks’ offense would be running on fumes. His coach clearly has no idea how to game plan without him. The man practically straps the entire offense to Walker’s back and says, ‘Good luck, kid.’
It’s honestly a little sad. Walker’s out there grinding, making big plays, and keeping drives alive while his coach stands on the sideline taking credit like it was some stroke of genius. News flash: relying on your star running back to do everything isn’t a strategy—it’s a safety net for a coach who doesn’t have much else going on. If K9 ever had an off day, you’d probably see that entire offense come to a screeching halt. So yeah, Kenneth Walker is phenomenal, but it’s a shame he has to shoulder so much responsibility because his coach doesn’t seem to have a Plan B. Imagine what he could do with a little creativity in the play-calling or, I don’t know, an actual balanced offensive approach. But hey, I guess that’s what happens when your coach spends more time talking than actually coaching.
