Earlier today, Washington offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach John Donovan met with local Seattle media via a Zoom webinar to discuss their matchup versus the California Bears this weekend. Defensive coordinator/outside linebackers coach Pete Kwiatkowski also joined the media call to chime in with his thoughts as well.
