Kyler Murray

Postgame Press Conference


Seahawks 19, Cardinals 9

Q. You guys didn't get off to the start you were hoping for.

KYLER MURRAY: Yeah. Didn't convert in the red zone. After that, I mean, felt like we moved the ball well today. I felt we'd just get down to the red zone or past the 50, false start here, negative play here, and we just -- just can't finish. Can't finish. That's the moral of the story right now is can't finish drives, and not putting the ball in the end zone, can't win like that.

Q. Does this feel more about what you're seeing from the defenses or self-inflicted?

KYLER MURRAY: Not at all. Self-inflicted I'm sure. They played well today obviously holding us to nine points, but, you know, teams are going to continue to do that. Continue to play soft, make us methodically move the ball down there, which as you can see, like I said, we moved the ball today. We just got down there and didn't finish.

Q. How much did you appreciate the aggressiveness on fourth downs, continuing to go for it throughout the game?

KYLER MURRAY: How much do I appreciate it?

Q. Yeah.

KYLER MURRAY: What do you mean?

Q. As opposed to going to going for a field goal or...

KYLER MURRAY: That's coach's decision. You know, just, again, I'm confident in whatever we choose to do. They made those choices on the sideline. Whatever they call, we go for it.

Q. Will there be a point where you guys think you need the points to...

KYLER MURRAY: That's not a question for me. Like I said, I just try to go out there and execute what they call.

Q. I know it's tough your first year, but have you ever been through a stretch like this offensively where you and your guys can't seem to get in any type of rhythm?

KYLER MURRAY: Probably, I mean, rookie year probably. Yeah, that's the last time shit's felt this hard. Just tough out there right now. It's tough. That's what it feels like. A lot of it, like I said, is self-inflicted, put it on ourselves.

Got to be better.

Q. Coach was saying a lot of things ya'll do in well practice.

KYLER MURRAY: Yeah. I heard that.

Q. Would you say the same thing, like you guys are doing things right in practice just not working in the game?

KYLER MURRAY: You could say that. You could say that.

Q. What feels so hard out there?

KYLER MURRAY: Just making it hard. Just making it hard. I don't want get into details, but it's just -- like I said, it's tough right now. Just feels like we moved ball and, like I said, we get to a certain area, get long first down, next play we're second and ten. That's tough to do. Tough to be in.

Especially it's just, like I said, we're not doing things right now.
