Cardinals
Cardinals QBs coach Israel Woolfork thinks Kyler Murray showed a โglimpseโ of what he can do in their offensive system following his return.
โYou got a glimpse of just our offense and [the] whole [of] how we can play โ running the ball, throwing the ball, catching, getting open, every aspect of the game,โ Woolfork said, via Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.
Woolfork spoke about having QBs Joshua Dobbs and Clayton Tune start the year before returning to Murray, describing that the situation helped him grow as a coach.
โIt was crazy at the beginning of the year,โ Woolfork said. โYou canโt make it up. You canโt. Itโs not a book you can read. Itโs not anything you can do [about] that. So, obviously just learning from that situation, growing from it, I think thatโs the biggest thing Iโm probably gonna take away [from] my coaching career moving forward.โ
Cardinals WR Zach Pascal said Murray always took advantage of his time when rehabbing from his knee injury.
โYou could definitely see he wasnโt taking it for granted,โ Pascal said. โAnd he was happy to be out there, and then the plays he was making, itโs like, โDang.โ When youโre missing your quarterback and you looking for one, itโs a struggle, and then he comes back and plays like this, [itโs like] โOK, this is exactly why we got this man.'โ
Rams
Rams HC Sean McVay was impressed with the way QB Jared Goff played against him in the wild card round, adding that he has come a long way in the past three years.
โJared was really efficient,โ McVay said, via PFT. โYou can see the command he has. I think thereโs a lot made of it, but Iโm really happy for him. Obviously we wanted to come away with the win, but heโs done a great job. I think the grit, the resilience, and the way heโs done his thing here over the last three years, Iโm happy for Jared, and I certainly am appreciative of the four years we had together.โ

Seahawks
- SIโs Albert Breer believes Cowboys DC Dan Quinn could ultimately finally leave Dallas for Seattle, where he has connections with the team.
- Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk says the thinking in Seattle is Quinn is at the top of GM John Scheniderโs list to coach the Seahawks.
- Former Seahawks HC Pete Carroll is unsure if heโll return to coaching but mentioned heโs not โholding my breathโ for any offers: โI donโt know thatโฆ Iโm not holding my breath. If it happens, it happens. Weโll see.โ (Michael-Shawn Dugar)
- Carroll in a recent appearance on Seattle Sports Radio: โI have very, very strong feelings about what we did, and where we screwed it up and why we didnโt come through the way we wanted to and what we did well. So we just needed to touch on all of that, and the perception that the media has on the outside is not always accurateโฆ And then, OK, what is the essence of the adjustments that are necessary? Thatโs where maybe we donโt see eye to eye on, because I see it one way and I think Iโve got a way to fix it and Iโm not going to kind of halfway fix itโฆ Iโve got real precise and specific thoughts, and they may not see it that way, they may not agree with it, they may not see that thatโs the right answer or thatโs not the answer that makes them feel goodโฆ The difficult part isโฆitโs really hard because theyโre not football people. Theyโre not coaches, and so to get to the real details of it is really difficult for other people.โ
