Cooper Kupp impressed by the Seahawks offensive as the regular season approaches
And it is not only the players on this side of the ball who see this growth, it was also noticed by defensive players who were against them in practice.
“I saw them from the first day they arrived here and started reviewing this manual,” said secondary Ernest Jones IV. “It was Rocky these first two weeks of OTA when we were going to defend the offense. But from this first day on the first day of the training camp was a big difference. I knew they had their place to go up there, attack the ball and run the ball, run from the rock and create explosives.
Jones added what stood out was: “The movement. More specifically here, how they go up to the line, they are super decisive. From the moment the group is broken, the receptors, the line O, the runners back, they burst, Sam goes up, obtaining his readings, and after a movement or two.
Then, for the Seahawks and their still growing offense is a joint practice against packers, which should provide the starters a more in-depth test against an opposite defense that they would get in any pre-season mémé, then after the match on Saturday, the Seahawks will continue to pass the mode of the training camp to the preparation of week 1.
“It’s a challenge because you see the light at the end of the tunnel in terms of preparing to go and starting to prepare an opponent,” Kupp said. “But we still have, at least two weeks of good work, good growth that can be done before you are in a standard time when you are starting to plan the game and things like that. At the moment, it really focuses on what is important at the moment, and it is a question of diving into our details, diving into our stuff and ensuring that we are doing the best that we can master and be able to present ourselves. Being able to go there and start to plot someone.
One of the reasons why players seem so well to the new Seattle offense is the way Kubiak and the rest of the staff teach, not only focusing on what players are supposed to do on the reasons why they do.
“They definitively enter the why, the intention of what we are trying to attack,” said Kupp. “I do not know if there is another way of doing it. The guys we have here and the questions they ask me, you must be able to answer the question of” why “? We have guys who ask these questions. If you do not give us why, in the end you will ask why we are doing something. Will be very good.
And of course, it is always important to remember that it is still in August and that this attack by the Seahawks of the new look has not yet played a regular season match. Kubiak and head coach Mike Macdonald will have to assess and make adjustments not only how the offensive progresses at week 1, but on the way things happen in these first games, and in turn, how opponents adapt. But on the basis of what the offensive has shown so far, there are signs that there may not be such a large learning curve with a new coordinator, a quarter-back and several other key actors that could be expected.
“I think it’s one of my favorite things to look at the offenses through the league over the season,” Kupp said. “You have the first four weeks of the season, that’s what we have done in the training camp, who we have gathered. We have gathered these four weeks and now we have to start in a way. There, the races work well?
