Video: Earl Thomas on how Seahawks D is playing without Kam Chancellor

In the video above, Seahawks safety Earl Thomas meets with the media Thursday and explains how the defense is operating with Kam Chancellor still holding out.

Additional quote from Thomas’ press conference are below.

(On if he is confident in the defense since the defense has bounced back from rough patches in the past) “I think what you said, it speaks for itself. I think it’s a mindset, we’re always going to think positive, we’re always going to understand that have to get better, and we’re going to learn from our mistakes. And when we hit bumps in the road like this, it just fuels our fire.”

(On how Dion Bailey has responded from the game last week) “Great. One thing that really stood out to me is when he was crying after the game, it touched me. Because this game really means a lot to him, and that reminded me of me crying when I used to play Pop Warner, when I used to just lose. You just hate to lose, you know. I’m just happy to be a part, I’ll like up with that guy nine times out of ten, I’ll line up with him. He wants it.”

(On what his message was to Dion Bailey after the game) “Just to learn from it. It’s right there in front of your face. You learn from that situation and you understand that. Then next time it comes around, because it will, you just own it.”

(On what felt good about playing in his first game back from injury) “Just the rhythm, I had good rhythm.”

(On what makes Aaron Rodgers an elite quarterback) “He’s so creative, he can make every throw off his back foot. He has scrap, he can scramble. But other than that, I really haven’t been focusing on his positives, I got to tell myself he has some type of weakness so I can prepare myself for this game.”
