here comes the bandwagon...its a given the defense is going to be good, don't sleep on the offense. It's going to be interesting about the TEs. There's been skepticism over Kubiak really utilizing them. I don't think i would put it past him at this point
Orlovsky recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, where he predicted a strong year from the Seahawks. The ESPN analyst claimed Seattle has not been talked about enough before adding:
"I think Seattle's going to be awesome, man. Klint Kubiak, new offensive coordinator, and in (the) preseason, they looked fantastic just what I watched them present the other night. It looked like a complete offense when it came to changing the snap count, shifting and motioning, different variations in the run game, changing the launch points of the quarterback, different pass games when it comes to sometimes they're trying to get the ball out quickly, sometimes they're trying to push the ball downfield, sometimes you want a play-action concept. So, I watched that and I'm going, man, that looks to be a team that's under control. I think their defense, secondary wise, will be fantastic once again."
These new changes have been viewed as obstacles by critics, but The Athletic analyst Ted Nguyen thinks the Seahawks could actually be better.
"So far in the offseason, they look like they’ve made some major improvements in run blocking. First-round pick Grey Zabel has looked dominant in two preseason games, and the Seahawks might have found a hidden gem in his former teammate, North Dakota State center Jalen Sundell. He’s furiously seized his opportunity while Olu Oluwatimi has missed time with injury, and has a shot to take the job. Sundell’s ability to explode out of his stance is perfect for [Klint] Kubiak’s offense. With Zabel and Sundell on the field, in two games, the Seahawks averaged 8.2 yards per rush attempt," Nguyen wrote.
"If there’s one thing a Kubiak knows how to do, it’s scheme up a rushing attack, and it appears a formidable one is shaping in Seattle. This is the Seahawks’ first year in the system, but they are already playing fast and executing every variant of wide zone in the book. From under center stretch, zone toss, mid zone, split zone, they looked comfortable doing it all against the Raiders and Chiefs, who both were overwhelmed upfront."
Sundell supposedly has shown a real aptitude for getting to the second level
