Rams WR Davante Adams spoke about how HC Sean McVay is able to create mismatches to confuse the defense about what the offense is running.

“The way Sean’s able to dial it up obviously puts us in great position, and makes it tough on defenses,” Adams said, via SI’s Albert Breer. “They see 13-personnel go out there, a bunch of tight ends, they think it’s run-heavy and we go out and run play-action, and it limits some of the things they’re doing. Sean’s a great play-caller and we got a lot of weapons at each position, to the point where we can do whatever we want.”

Adams added that he feels reinvigorated in Los Angeles within a good system and a good organization.

“It starts from the top down. There’s great ownership here, general manager’s a G, and the head coach is who he is, we all know what Sean’s about,” Adams said. “And then when you look at the roster, we’ve got everything else in place, a winning team, winning culture as well. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of something like this. It just brings out the best in me.”

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said the team leaders approached him with adjustments that needed to be made.

“What’s good, what I love about our team, is however we decide we want to do our process, they’re bought in on it,” Macdonald said, via SI’s Albert Breer. “So how we travel, how we do Fridays, how we do Saturdays, the cool thing is whatever we feel like the team needs, we’ve been able to adjust how we do things without sacrificing our principles in how we want to operate. We talked to the leaders on Friday. They told me, ‘We still need to slow down the tempo.’ And so we adjusted on Friday. It’s the whole methods-and-principles thing, where we’re able to adjust those things, but the intent of how we prepare has stayed the same.”

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald talked about the team’s pass rush, headlined by DE DeMarcus Lawrence and LB Tyrice Knight.

“I couldn’t believe the D-Law got the second,” Macdonald said, via the team’s website. “I was like, ‘Holy crap. It’s him again.’ The way that he attacked the ball, T-Knight is just awesome. Haven’t forced any fumbles this year on defense and got two today. It’s awareness, just taking advantage of those opportunities. It was awesome.”

Knight said he finally feels healthy after dealing with a knee injury early on in the season.

“It just feels good to be back healthy,” he said. “That isn’t an excuse for early in the season, but right now I just feel like me again, back moving how I move, just playing football better.”

Knight also dealt with a heart injury early on in the season, but his knee situation lingered on into the season.
