Mike Macdonald of the Seahawks Is Not Worried About Ryan Grubb’s Offense: “Much Faith”

Ryan Grubb’s arrival will bring a new dynamic to the Seattle Seahawks offense this season.

The addition of Ryan Grubb as the new offensive coordinator is one of the several offseason changes the Seattle Seahawks have seen.

Grubb enters the NFL system after doing excellent work with the Washington Huskies, replacing Shane Waldron, who is currently with the Chicago Bears. He was instrumental in Washington’s offensive success and their run to the National Championship game versus Michigan.

On Sports Radio 93.3 KJR, Macdonald stated, “We’ve got to install the defense too, and I’m carrying a pretty big load in terms of installing everything defensive.” “But I’d like to collaborate with Ryan. Although I want to give him the freedom to develop the offense as he sees fit, I was also thrilled to hire him because of the kind of guy he is, his proven track record throughout his career, and his perspective on the game.

“I felt like our value system as people and as football coaches align, so I have all the trust in him in the world in how he builds his scheme out and how he empowers our staff.”

With D.K. Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett, running backs Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker, as well as supporting players like Jake Bobo, Grubb will have a number of weapons at his disposal.

The offensive performance of the Seahawks fluctuated during the previous season, but with a new manager in place, things might start to pick up shortly.

Last season, Seattle’s average score per game under Waldron was just 21.4, which was 17th. However, with Grubb’s offensive approach of distributing the ball over the field through the air and his quarterback, Geno Smith, he has the tools to carry it over to the NFL.

About Grubb, Macdonald remarked, “He’s very much in control of what we’re doing.” “My experience, I can provide some guardrails and some things that I feel are important and systematically what makes sense, and it’s building a vision of how we want to build our football team too, but how we do it on a day-to-day basis, I have a lot of faith in what he’s doing.”

Pete Carroll will miss the Seahawks’ offseason for the first time since

With Macdonald, a defensive guru, and Grubb, an offensive weapon who has proven his abilities in college, the Seahawks have a good chance of making the playoffs in 2024. Change doesn’t necessarily imply bad things.

Macdonald believes in Grubb, and we don’t see much reason to mistrust him either, given his prior work.
