“Just proud of our guys. We really said after the game that the message was, ‘Team win.’ I felt like we had achieved victory during our preparation from Monday to Saturday. It was probably our best week of preparation. We continued east, at 10am in our time, with energy, focus, togetherness, all those. things that we needed to win, we did. So, a free play. It felt like our offense responded at times if the Falcons could go out there and score, and also special teams will be excited to go look at the tape. , but great win. We’ll enjoy it and get ready for Buffalo next week.

On what it feels like to win after three losses:

“Yes, it’s funny. You feel it all week, so hopefully that was in the message and the boys felt the same way. Our boys are determined. We’ve grown as a football team this week, and now we have to keep it going. ” We have to keep stacking these days, keep stacking our preparation, take what we need to learn from this match and keep moving forward. It’s still early in the season, but it’s great to definitely get back into the game.

On the defensive success:

“Well, it’s kind of like what we said: ‘If you force them into more passing situations, you can start to influence the quarterback a little bit more.’ Again, it’s a team stat. Our offense did a great job pushing the boundaries, reacting and keeping us ahead as the game started to wind down. They forced the pass and tried to get some pressure on the quarterback. In the passing game we played a complementary game of rushing the pass, and the boys created their chances when the ball came their way. It was great to see.”

On the secondary’s performance:

“Yeah, no problem. Like I said, you’re excited to see those guys perform. And they did. I thought they played a great game. They’ll learn from it and continue to grow. Nehemiah (Pritchett) had a little just there at the end, but it doesn’t look serious.

On the decision to go for a touchdown at the end of the first half:

“It was great preparation from our offensive staff and the confidence in our guys. We felt like we had enough time to go ahead and make that play call. If it was incomplete, we felt like we were still within range. We stayed aggressive. “

On whether he appreciated watching the touchdown from the field at the end of the first half:

“It felt pretty good from where I was, but it will be fun to see it on tape.”

On whether he has an update on WR DK Metcalf:

“On that sideline bump, he hit his knee a little bit. I’m not sure how serious it is. We’re optimistic right now, so it doesn’t look that bad.”

On the Seahawks’ pass protection:

“I felt like the guys put up a fight there. I think Atlanta had a sack or two. I’m not sure about the stats, but Geno (Smith) could move and get into the pocket if they managed to score.” immediate pressure, it’s definitely something to build on.”

About Falcons OLB Matthew Judon:

“Look, I know from experience that this guy is a great player. They have a very good front and a good pressing package, so we needed a nice, tight plan. Go and execute it and then compete and fight it out.”

On Falcons OLB Matthew Judon being able to infiltrate the pocket:

“You have to know where he is at all times. You can find him easily. He has the red sleeve. Not only is he a very good player, but he is also very smart, feels the game and understands how fouls work. I lived and we have great respect for him.”

On the return of NT Byron Murphy II and how it has helped the pass rush:

“You’ve got everyone healthy now, so you can get a rotation and keep the play numbers wherever you want, so that’s big. Dan Murph, I think he’s an underdog. Just what he can do to pull the purse strings until your point. It’s a team pass rush. Kirk (Cousins) does a great job of getting the ball out in time, so he tries to get in a second and third read and then the pocket swims from that point – fumble was a. very rare extended action that you get against him, so we were able to take advantage of that.”

About RB Kenneth Walker III’s disease:

‘He was quite ill, but he fought through it. That man is an animal.’

On the performance of RB Kenneth Walker III:

“I don’t think it ever got to the point where we said he wasn’t going, but I know he wasn’t feeling well. I tried to get fluid in him. I thought he was playing incredibly hard. What was blocked for on the touchdown run, the cutback, and then the touchdown catch was just a dynamite play. It was a great throw from Geno (Smith) too, but it was two guys working together on that.

About RT Michael Jarrell’s performance:

“I thought Mike played great. I was excited to see him play, and I’m proud of him. The guys got behind him and I’m excited about his NFL journey.”

On QB Geno Smith’s performance:

“I thought Geno had a great game. He was ready and delivered the ball on time. As for the extended play, the struggle to find Noah (Fant) when we tried to respond there, and it was a great play. The couple of touchdown passes were great throws, too.”

On improvements in defending the run in the second half:

“They’re doing a great job in the run game. It felt like we did a good job. We only missed tackles in the first half, so that’s something we need to chase after in the future. But we responded in the second half I’m not sure what the stats are, but it felt like we

were slightly squarer at the edge. Secondary content was visible a little faster.

Disappointing that we let him score in that fourth deficit.”

“Shout out to John (Schneider) and his staff for picking him up. He’s been working his tail. Picks everything up real quick. He’s a smart guy. Long, long, fast corner. Knows the defense. Like I said said, he’s been practicing so well all week. I know Karl Scott probably had a little longer nights than me, but I felt pretty good going into the match.”

On QB Geno Smith coming out of the game for one play:

‘I think he got hit in the eye. Maybe his contact is touched or something. He’s doing well.’

On how FS Coby Bryant is making progress:

“I’m not surprised. Again, this guy just keeps playing at a high level. It’s a slow form. He’s just seeing how the game progresses. It seems like he’s always in the right place during these overthrows, patrolling the depths “In the running game and the support and things like that, we’ll see what we want to clean up, but this guy can influence the ball, like we said, it’s definitely a unique quality.”

On FS Coby Bryant’s ability to help the other safeties:

“Our safeties were asked to play a good bit of man-to-man and carry guys around the field. He’s comfortable with that. Just seeing the game from different angles and stuff. He’s such a smart player .He feels route distributions and can see things in slow motion there.”

On coaching in his hometown:

“Believe me, we just wanted to get back in the win column and try to do everything we can to get to 4-3. That was the thinking all week. Try to put the distractions aside. I know there’s some of the people are waiting for us, I’m excited to go see them and spend a few minutes before we leave.

About the fans appearing today:

“Shout out to all the 12’s. At the end of the game there’s a ton of people on the sidelines. Some family and friends we saw. That was cool. The rest of the 12’s showed up. They were loud By the end of the match I really thought it was great.”

About DE Roy Robertson-Harris:

“Yeah, just hit back at the point of attack. I felt like he could set the edge on some of those runs. Just another guy that we can plug in and play inside or outside. We’ll have the pass rush get going with him as he starts to feel what we call it and play off each other. We are happy to have him.

On the potential of T George Fant’s return:

“We think so. There is a chance. We’ll see. It’s not final yet, but we’re optimistic it will happen soon.”

On the return of T Stone Forsythe:

“I don’t know now.”
