Head Coach Jonathan Gannon

Watch on https://www.azcardinals.com/video/

OK, on the injury front (WR) Simi (Fehoko) is being evaluated for a concussion. He could not finish. 'D Rob' (DL Darius Robinson) I think had a chest (and) could not finish. Obviously, a disappointing finish to lose again here on a walk off, and I just told them I appreciate the resiliency that's there. No one has their head down. Everyone believes we can win. We're not doing enough in all three phases to win these games, and that's very clear. I just told them they need to get rested up this weekend. That's tough to play two games like that—everybody has to do it. Seattle played well, (I) give them credit. (We) have to get rested up, reset our mind and our body and then come back to Monday and get better at playing football. Three phases really for now four games (in), (that's) a pretty good sample size. We just haven't put it together like I think we're capable of putting it together. Those are just words. It's my job to make sure that we put it together, so that's what we'll be working on.

On the disconnect offensively through the first three quarters:

Yeah, we're not doing enough to win a game right now. Point blank. Our run efficiency is not where it needs to be, generating explosives not where it needs to be. Penalties are killing drives, sacks are killing drives. It's everybody and it starts with me, so we have to find some solutions so we can play a little better because when we get it rolling we can put points on the board. I know that. We just haven't done it for four quarters, and I know in an NFL game there's going to be ebbs and flows. That's a good way to put it, but we're not doing enough so we have to find some solutions.

On whether there are reasons for the offensive inefficiencies:

No, there's not. We start with we have to coach better, but we do have to take a good hard look and look what's going on and adapt. Because if we keep doing the same thing, in my mind when you've been in the NFL long enough, you've got these stretches where you feel like you're letting some games slip away. If you keep just doing the same thing and hoping, that's not good coaching so we will change and adapt some things. There's no doubt.

On what happened on the kickoff near the end of the game that gave the Seahawks the ball at the 40-yard line:

Keep it in play. That's kind of one of the things we talk about late in the game there with the amount of timeouts and time and what they needed, we were trying to burn off some time there. (K) Chad (Ryland) played his ass off. The game doesn't come down to one play. We didn't do enough collectively for 60 minutes to win the game.

On Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba:

He is a good player. It's tough to contain him for a whole game. He had some critical downs there. That was a component of the game we knew going in. I thought the corners battled him and the safeties that were on him battled him pretty good. He made some good plays, and that's what it takes to win. They made a couple more plays than we did. It's life in the NFL, so we have to make some of those.

On WR Marvin Harrison Jr.:

The response was fantastic. I thought he came and lit it up in the second half. Yeah, absolutely. He got involved, made some big time plays. The touchdown catch, a big time play and couple catches in those drives. He is winning one-on-one. I'm not worried about Marv at all. He's going to be just fine. I thought he played faster today too. That's what I told him. That's what I wanted to see. On a short week, there's not a lot you can work on because you're not practicing. I said just let it rip and play fast, and I thought he did that. I'm not worried about Marv at all. He's resilient just like that whole crew is. The good thing from my view is I know we have a connected team. I know we will go down swinging. I know we ain't going to quit. I know we're going to fight tooth and nail. We just have to do a little bit better.

On why the offense took so long to connect:

I don't know. We have to figure it out because up until the fourth quarter we were not putting enough points on the board right now. We have to score more and all those things that I just talked about. It's not one thing. It's not one guy, It's not anything. It's collectively as a unit and as a whole coaching and playing that we have to score more points.

On whether the fourth quarter was an example of all three phases playing collectively:

Yeah, I think the defense (held out) until the end there, but I thought the defense got off the field when we needed some critical stops. Our offense, your back's against the wall, you're down two touchdowns, right? 14 points—go all the way down, score, get the ball back, go all the way down and score. There were some big time plays in there too to extend those drives. I mean (WR) Michael Wilson on a fourth and 'gotta have it.' That was a huge play. (RB) Emari (Demercado), Marv, (TE) Trey (McBride), so we're going to be fine. It's my job and the coach's job to make sure that we're doing enough throughout 60 minutes of football that we don't have this keep happening.

On the six sacks tonight on offense and how to correct it:

Yeah it's all 11. It's everything from the quarterback to the O-line to the receivers, the timing, all that. And truthfully, I knew we were going to give up some sacks as much as we were going to throw it today. That's a good front. They've got good rushers. They play a lot of different things in the back end, which makes you hold it a tick, and I'm crediting Seattle, but we can't give up six sacks and think we're going to score points. They just kill drives. A third down sack, I get it but it's the sacks on early downs. Good luck trying to keep a drive going when you're behind the sticks like that, so we have to clean that up.

On 11 personnel looks in the first half and whether they were because of Seattle or if they decided to switch things up:

A little bit of both, truthfully. What they've shown going into the game where if you play them in a phone booth, you ain't going to like the results. We didn't want to play them in a phone booth all day. That was part of the game plan of what we thought we had to do to win the game. I liked how we operated out of 11. I did.

On RB Trey Benson's performance:

I have to watch the tape on that one. I thought he made some plays. He had the one explosive, he caught a couple check downs and made some guys miss. I thought he was pretty decisive. Again though, Trey's a component of the run game. It takes all 11. We have to run the ball better. It's just not where it needs to be right now. That's a part that going into the year, you think that you'd be able to run it a little bit better through four weeks. We've played some good fronts, but we have to take a good hard look of what we're doing in the run game and have that become more efficient.

On the reasoning for the pass/run game disparity tonight:

Truthfully, I thought to win the game we're going to have to throw it all over the yard. Now with saying that, the last two drives obviously we went past that because we're down 14. I don't know if that was straight up (the way) it would've kicked out, but yeah, that was the plan to throw it more this week.

On Harrison Jr.'s resilient effort in the second half tonight and what helped him bounce back:

Control the controllables. Being psychologically trained, which he is. He wants to help the team win. He gets down on himself. He's got to let that go and control the controllables, which for him is just play fast. Control your effort, your mode to play and play fast. I thought that's what he did, so that was good to see. I really liked his response. I said keep playing fast. Let me see your effort. He said, 'I got you'. And he did.

On what took the offense so long to get into the game:

It was not clicking. (We were) pretty much getting physically dominated the whole first half. And it's frustrating because you watch the defense go out there and get stop after stop after stop. And offensively we just couldn't get it going. Credit to their defense, but we have to make more plays. We have to show up and be ready to go. It's like shit's loading and it is taking too long. The resilience of the team, you love to see it and you feel like you give yourself a chance to win the game at the end. But it's just too late.

On what clicked for WR Marvin Harrison Jr. in the second half:

(In the) first half he just dropped the ball. I've seen Marv catch that ball a hundred times. I told y'all throughout the week I wasn't worried about it. (I) continued to go to him, and he came up clutch in the stretch. That's part of football. I have the utmost confidence in Marv. I'll continue to have confidence in Marv. We just have to go back to the drawing board and be better. We have to be better. He knows that, I know that, (the) whole offense understands that. We have to start faster and play better complementary football because right now it's two all over the place and it's not good enough. Having put four quarters together as a unit, to go out there and dominate. You see the flashes, but it's just (that) the margin for error is so small. So we have to be better.

On the last two losses:

I'm optimistic. I know what we have in that locker room and I know the guys that we got in the locker room and what type of players we have, coaches, everybody. I know people think (that) the world's ending, but it's not. We have to go back to work and be better.

On what clicked in the fourth quarter :

I think we just got into a groove. I think (Offensive Coordinator) Drew (Petzing) got into a rhythm calling it and we made plays for him. It's really a tale of two halves. You just feel terrible (the) whole first half and then you just keep fighting because it is gonna hit at some point. And the guys believed in that. We just continue to fight. In the fourth quarter it clicked, but like I said it's too late.

On the six sacks:

That's tough. And then, it feels like this season, every time we get past 50, we've kind of shot ourselves in the foot with a penalty. It's just drive killers. We get one good play going and then right back, second-and-18. It's just shooting ourselves in the foot. It just can't happen. (If) you want to be a good offense, it can't happen.

On Harrison Jr.'s confidence shift in the second half:

I just think Marv expects so much from himself. Even that singular play is just not to his standard as an individual. He drops the ball, it's an interception. I'm sure that's lingering in his mind. I love the way that he fought back and continued to play hard and continued to make plays. He's probably going to go home thinking about that shit. But at the end of the day, that's football, (and) we all make mistakes. He continued to battle. I'm excited and I'm glad that he continued to play his ass off in the fourth quarter. And when he got man, he made a plays. The touchdown catch was an amazing catch, so I have the utmost confidence in him. He should have it as well.

On how he keeps confidence in Harrison Jr.:

I need him and he needs me. This is a team sport, (a) four quarter game. And I understand he's not coming out of the game. I don't want him to come out of the game, so we have to get this going. That's really just what it is. It's just conversations on the sideline (and) keeping his confidence up. The other receivers and everybody around him, we were all in it together.

On the disparity in pass and run attempts:

That's a good defense over there and they did a good job stopping the run. And that was just how the game went.

On if the disparity is a part of playing from behind:

Yeah, when you get in those positions. You drive the field, you'd like to put the ball in the quarterback's hands and try to create some explosives in that way, but it's tough when you get behind like that. They can pin their ears back, play coverage and those sorts of things. So, it's definitely tough.

On if the long run drop was planned:

No, that was a scramble.

On miscommunications with Harrison Jr. :

Shit happens. It's football. We can't dwell on it because we got another play. We have to continue to play, have to continue to execute. Is it frustrating in the moment? Of course. But at the end of the day, we just lost on a field goal. None of that happens if we're sitting there bitching and complaining about the previous play. This is how it goes, we have to continue to move on and play the game.

On why miscommunications are still happening:

The third one, the one that I threw to the flat and he was running, the defense was all out of sorts. So, I don't want to get too deep into the concepts, but we were in a hurry up, and they were out of sorts. If the defense does this, we do this. It just kind of messed up right there. But that's on me for sure.
