Opened saying they are glad to be home this week.
Said Raiders have had a big transition with coaching change and they play hard and play tough. Said Carr has looked terrific. Said he's got our attention.
Asked what he saw from Carr in the pre season game. Said he tore us up. Thinks they believe that Carr is a down the field guy. Said he throws the deep ball and the timing stuff underneath.
On Wagner and Miller. Zach had a good meeting with his doctors. Said he made a big jump in treatment over the weekend. Said Bobby is moving along and got a good report. Neither will be ready.
LJ Forte is activated from practice squad to play defense and another guy (Will Tukuafu) was signed to play FB.
Unger is going to practice. Will see how he makes it through the week.
Maxwell is still day to day
On the Tampa Bay game last year being similar...said they've used that game as an example before, as it was kind of a wake up call to stick with our fundamentals regardless of our opponent.
Said Pierre-Lewis looked good last week and plays really fast.
Said he's trying to find a balance between blitzes and 4 man rushes to keep pressure. Thought they did a good job last week.
Said they will see if Tukuafu will be active or not this week. He was just signed so they still want to see what he's got.
Walters is practicing today
Carpenter feels ok
Johnson still waiting for him to go through the concussion protocol.
on Returns, said Paul was still in the running with Walters back, but we'll see how the week goes. (Basically his standard no answer answer)
Spoke highly of Walters sure-handedness
Asked about Hurry up offense success. He said it's always available as an option to us but it's dependent on the situation, but it is a good mode for us and they won't hesitate to use it when necessary.
on PRich's size. Says he's a natural athlete and will challenge every catch. Says he's got a natural agility and is extremely smart. He's a speed guy and he's very elusive.
on having the Mary'sville team there yesterday. Said it was an amazing experience to feel their gratitude. Said watching their reaction to seeing guys like Sherman, Thomas, Wagner etc. shake hands and take pictures was tremendous. Reiterated how great it was for Oak Harbor to forfeit the playoff game and that they are going to try to get them in sometime next week.
That's it for today. Will post the full video link once it's up on the Seahawks' website
