Video: Earl Thomas on Seahawks facing Bengals’ high-flying offense

In the video above, Seahawks safety Earl Thomas talks to the media on Thursday about the challenge the defense faces Sunday against the Bengals.

Included below are extra quotes from his press conference.

(On being the underdog vs. the Bengals) “We’re the underdog? I didn’t know. Who said we were the underdog? I been in my house, I don’t really listen to them.”

(On Cary Williams growing in technique) “From OTAs to now, it’s a big, big, big leap. He’s very comfortable out there. They’re trying to go at him. They’re trying to go at Sherm more than him, so there must be some type of respect factor there.”

(On the Seahawks not having an interception this season) “No. We haven’t talked about that. We know that when they come, it’s going to come in bunches. We’re playing great, great defense. We’re good on third down, we’re good on first and second down. You just want to play great defense and realize we had ops last game. We had about six opportunities. They’re going to go our way. I got that stat from coach Carroll this morning. He told us about it.”
