After Sunday’s penalty‑laden loss, the Seahawks’ defensive unit convened this week to address the issue.
Jones told reporters the session would be a one‑off. “You tackle that and other concerns now, so you won’t revisit it later. Just once,” he said.
He noted that while fouls were discussed, they weren’t the sole focus.
Jones added he wanted to zero in on additional topics. “We connected, had one‑on‑one talks in that room, and left with a clear game plan,” he explained. In my view, that candid dialogue could spark immediate improvement.
That could make the message resonate more coming from teammates rather than coaches.
“We’re the ones out there risking everything,” Jones said. “Hearing it from your brothers can shift mindset, even if it’s not a single voice.”
Even with the penalties, Seattle still prevailed, but unchecked fouls could doom them against a stronger foe.
Next weekend they face the 49ers—can the defense stay disciplined enough to win?
