Some of brooks post game comments. The crap about owning the Seattle secondary with his eyes is an embarrassment


Q: When your team commits four turnovers, it’s tough to dig out of such a hole.
Aaron: "Oh, yeah. The main thing that Coach Haslett preached throughout preseason, and he will continue to do it throughout the season, is that when you lose the turnover ratio, there’s a high percentage that you’re going to lose the game. We turned the ball over way too many times, very excessively. That’s uncharacteristic of this offense. That’s something we’ve really got to take care of."
Q: What was the impact of not scoring a touchdown early in the game when the offense threatened deep in Seattle territory?
Aaron: "That killed us. That killed us all day. We kept putting ourselves in bad situations. It’s hard for our offensive coordinator [Mike McCarthy] to call plays when you’re first-and-15, second-and-15, third-and-10 when you’re in a long [yardage] situation where the defense can sit back on you. Today we made it really, really hard on ourselves, and that’s what we can’t do. That’s something I won’t tolerate. I’m quite sure the coaches won’t. So we’re going to look into this-not point fingers-but we’re going to get together and solve this so we have a much better outcome next week."

Q: How will you tighten up factors such as dropped passes and overthrown passes before the Houston game next week?
Aaron: "I hate to say it in a manner of 'I kind of saw it coming', but I don’t think we practiced as well as we should have during the course of the week. Donte [Stallworth] didn’t get as many reps because of his lingering injury. I’m quite sure he would like to have this game over again. Besides that, as a team, this was very uncharacteristic of our offense. To only score one touchdown when their defense is really just playing it safe, for us it’s really unacceptable. We’re a much better team than this offensively. I thought the defense did a fine job. We just didn’t play well, so we’ve got to go back to the drawing board. We’ve got to talk about this very seriously, very seriously."

Q: You were able to prepare for this game longer than any other game.
Aaron: "We prepared for it much longer. That means we’re supposed to be twice as prepared for it. I thought we were prepared for the game, but we just didn’t execute during the course of the game. This is an emotional game, and we got on the low end of the emotion. We just couldn’t really bounce back, and that’s attributable to turnovers and penalties. Like I said, [it’s] uncharacteristic of us."

Q: Did Seattle’s young secondary looked vulnerable?
Aaron: "Not at all, not at all. Actually, I owned them pretty much the whole night with my eyes, but we just didn’t convert. We had a couple of dropped passes, we had a lot of penalties, I didn’t hold on to the ball when I should have. Nothing they did really scared us out of what we did. The few adjustments we made, we just didn’t execute.".
