Postgame – Seattle

CB Noah Igbinoghene

(Obviously some struggles with the big play. Can you tell me what happened at the end of the half in that 25 second drive? What went wrong?) – “It was just a mistake. I made a mistake honestly. I’ve just got to get in the film room and fix it. I knew what to do. It was just a mistake, like I said before.”

(You’re I think the youngest guy on the roster. You have a bright future ahead of you, but it’s not what you wanted your career to start. Have you been ready for this moment? Has it been too big for you for four games in?) – “No, I don’t feel like nothing’s been too big for me at all. I put the work in over this offseason and in the summer and coming into training camp as well, so I don’t feel like anything is too big for me. I made a couple mistakes the first couple of games. I’m not going to lie. I’ve just got to keep working and it’ll work out.”

(How do you process this start that you’ve had? I mean it’s pretty much uneven which isn’t unexpected by a rookie, but this game you gave up two big plays that pretty much cost the team the game.) – “Like mentally how do I process it? There’s nothing really I can do right now. If I could turn back time, of course I would go back and do it, but I can’t really do that right now. I’ve just got to move past it as a man to keep pushing forward and keep working and fix it. I feel like that’s the most important thing.”     

(How do you manage to keep your confidence up?) – “It’s a mistake, people. I myself, I make a lot of mistakes and not only in football, but in life as well, so I can’t really dwell on it. Like I said, I just have to keep working on it and fix it. I feel like that’s the most important thing. Confidence has nothing to do with it. I am a very confident dude and I make mistakes and it happens to everybody, so I’ve just got to keep working and now fix it.”  

(When you go back from press to zone, what are some things that are not happening on the back end you know, after some receivers get past you and you’re just staying in your zone area?) – “I think for me personally it’s just been discipline in my eyes. I feel like my eyes have been bad a couple of times. Some things I’ve been – like a daze goes on and I’m thinking ‘oh that’s not going to happen’ and then boom, it happens. I think it’s just discipline in my eyes personally just for me. I can’t really speak for anybody else on the team.”  

(I appreciate you being very, facing the music. I wanted to ask you – I know you’re not going to make excuses – but how could rookie camp… How could preseason games, I’m guessing you would rather have had some of these mistakes happen during preseason, is that right?) – “Yea that sounds good, but that’s just the reality that we aren’t in. I wasn’t able to have my four preseason games or have a longer training camp. I can’t use that as an excuse because I had time. I know what to do. I‘ve been to training camp. I’ve been to practice, so that’s not an excuse at all. I’ve  just got to execute myself as a man and as a player and I will.”
