“It was amazing, he said. “It was so loud in there. Half the plays they were calling, I couldn’t even hear it. I was just getting down and playing. That’s what we need, though.”
The Saints committed five false starts throughout the game and ended the night with eight penalties for 62 yards.
Seattle also received a visit from Seahawks Legend Richard Sherman recently.
“Richard Sherman came in and spoke with us,” safety Ty Okada said. “And it was like, ‘You have to feed these fans, and they will be the loudest fans in the world for you.’ We feel that and we know it’s up to us to make that happen. So, to be able to just build that trust together with the fans and just continue to put a great product out there for them to get excited about, for them to really rally behind and get loud is what we always strive to achieve.”
Okada made the start today at safety in place of an injured Julian Love and finished the day with a quarterback hit, nine tackles and 0.5 sacks.
He added, “He just spoke with us recently just as a team about how amazing our fan culture is and how great it is and the amazing support, we have from all the 12s.”
Derion Kendrick who had Seattle’s lone interception said, “Protecting that house, that means a lot to us. The fans are going to pack out the stadium every time, bring the energy, so we have to do the same. Just protect that house and give them the dub every time.”
