Seahawks may embrace a college-style offense

As the Seahawks try to take their offense to the next level, they could be going down one level.

There’s talk in league circles that the Seahawks are considering the implementation of a college-style offense, one that takes full advantage of quarterback Russell Wilson‘s mobility.

In past years, Wilson used his legs when things broke down. Moving forward, the goal could be to make Wilson’s running skills not the last resort but the predetermined plan.

If that’s the approach, it makes sense. Instead of trying to wedge Wilson’s abilities into a system that fully utilizes them only in the event of emergency, why not unleash them as part of the design?

The potential plan to use a college-style offense could explain the team’s interest in Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo, who per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media is one of the candidates for the job. The Philly offense has those college concepts, as the Broncos and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. realized the hard way during the regular season.

They want to make things easier for Russell, but will it get the job done is all that matters. John is who I wanted as our OC

Russell has played in a "pro style" offense all through college...I don't really understand why they feel they need a "college offense" to get it rolling...unless that style puts less stress on the O line?

I honestly think Pete Carroll knows as much about offense as Ron Rivera does.

The Cowboys tried something like this with Quincy Carter, but that had more to do with Carter not being bright enough to pick up a pro-style offense than it did anything else.

Wilson has shown he can run a pro-style offense, so this doesn't exactly strike me as a smart move.

Yea, just makes 0 sense.

And I tend to agree with you about Carroll and Rivera, great defensive minds, but struggle with offenses like crazy.

Just another part about Belichick that I have to admire.  He is a great defensive mind in addition to really understanding special teams and offense...just a brilliant coach.

wilson is at his best in panic mode where he is able to scramble and fling balls into the air that miraculously land in his receivers hands.

so the plan is to run a system that keeps him in panic mode? interesting.

At this point, you can't call those throws miraculous, he just makes them far too often for that.

He may be one of the better "scrambling QB's" I have ever seen to be honest.

I'm not so sure I buy that when he throws them up without even looking at where he's throwing them the majority of the time, unless he has eyes in the back of his head that is.

I understand where this is coming from, but the dude finds ways to do that over and over...1st season or 2, I can see it, but we are deep into his career, and he keeps on doing it.

Seems to have a knack for it, and they likely coach the WR's to be better at it than most of the league does.  Ours certainly would rarely start working back to Cam once he gets in trouble, but Russell's do.

I'm sure coaching has a lot to do with it.  I wouldn't be surprised if they don't practice that poo.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
