Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters during his introductory press conference in early February that he expects his team’s offense – led by new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb – will ‘run the football’ and intends to ‘keep (the reads) consistent for (the quarterback) so he can play fast and play decisive.’
‘We’re going to be a physical unit, we’re gonna run the football, and we want to have answers for the quarterback and we want to keep it consistent for him so he can play fast and play decisive and get the ball to our playmakers. I know that’s kind of coach speak, but it needs to be an efficient unit. We want to be able to possess the ball, we want to be able to obviously be explosive and not turn the ball over. And I think that’s going to come through run and play-action on early downs. And then when we are forced to drop back in those situations, having a consistency in the quarterback’s reads so he can play fast and be decisive,’ Macdonald said.
