Seahawks Offensive Coordinator Brian Fleury met with the media ahead of calling plays in an NFL game for the first time, saying the last two days of practice have been the most fun he's had in seven years. He discussed his game-plan process, his growth alongside quarterback Sam Darnold, his decision to call the game from the field with support from Justin Outten, Tyson Prince and Daniel Stern upstairs, and the aggressive style Head Coach Mike Macdonald demands. Fleury also touched on his own path into coaching and what to expect from young contributors like rookie running back Jadarian Price and tight end Elijah Arroyo.

Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams met with the media ahead of Seattle's season opener at home, saying the defending champions are keeping football the main thing and preparing for the opponent like any other week rather than leaning on their Super Bowl meeting (0:14). He described a locker room that isn't patting itself on the back, starting again at the bottom of the mountain and taking it day by day (0:57), and explained how the championship parade and the birth of his son Zion helped him turn the page (2:21). Now in his 12th season, Williams also discussed the challenge of going back-to-back, the growth of Byron Murphy II, and the benefits of a third year in Head Coach Mike Macdonald's defense.
