John Schneider has put a poor o line on the field 10 years in a row now. Stop undervaluing the O line John.OK time to draft most powerful run blocking Guard Tyler Booker from Bama and new 3rd receiver Emeka Egbuka 4.3 40 Buckeye receiver and former Injigba teammate . We can pick those 2 up with first 2 picks and a stud Inside LB in 3rd round and roster holes are shored up. Lets roll in 2025. Geno will be QB playing for a contract extension if he earns it next year.
There aren't many amazing O-Line athletes coming out of college. I mean the best of the middle is going to be the middle. Plus the NFL doesn't pay O-line these days, the only pay the D-line. Why would that type of athlete take the job?
You realize there's plenty of business first folks that are terrible at it, right? I like Mike but that doesn't mean he can't, or won't, make mistakes.
To all the newbs saying “we were top in pass attempts!” As if that’s bad. Kansas City had more and they’re the #1 Seed. The difference between Top5 and Bottom 10 is 2 passes. Top 5 was 34+ bottom 10 is 32+. That’s just piss poor analysis to think trading two passes for two runs changes anything when we couldn’t block on any play
KC can still run the ball and that’s what matters most! If you notice most of the teams in playoffs with maybe the exception of the Bills can run the ball! It opens up the pass game even better and this has been a fact for decades
Yea. Statistics and math are tough for some peopke. Look at how effective we were on the run plays called, and you have your answer. When 3rd and 1 is a weakness, pass attempts aren't your problem. I remember several games where we ran the ball multiple times in 3rd and 1 and 4 + 1 situations and failed every single time. But hey, I guess we should just keep running the ball so we look like we have a more balanced offense.
@ exactly. We couldn’t run the ball. Because our OL sucked bad. We couldn’t pass the ball because our OL sucked bad. Not sure how you have a good offense in any category with a sucky OL
@@andrewcarlson2178 KC's pass attempts % likely has alot to do with having the best QB in the world ya? Being top in pass attempts with our offense and QB isn't a good thing, hence why we were ranked mid tier and bottom 3rd in most categories. That made our offense predictable, the reason KC can do it is obvious. Difference being our offense and QB weren't good enough to get away with it.
I certainly hope they draft O line before receiver. You can have the greatest receiver in the NFL; what good is that if the QB gets flattened with an 8 yard loss 50% of the time? Or they go 3 and out in less than 60 seconds, which Seattle has done all too often?
18. Seattle Seahawks - Tyler Booker, OG, Alabama No team has a need for offensive line help more than the Seahawks. Booker is a stout interior player who will be able to get them moving in the right direction again - and could be one of the missing pieces they need to beat some of the tougher NFL teams. -
I don't know what play you're referring to but I saw some painful interceptions where it seemed like the logical thing was throw it away and take 3 points (vs. throwing a prayer into the end zone).
Why don’t we hear more heat on John Schneider? He’s been getting away with average at best results since we had one or two good drafts early in his career with Pete Carroll which was over a decade ago. I don’t understand the direction of this organization and the fact we never talk about his performance. He needs to be more evaluated than continuing to run through offensive coordinators
How many times did we watch this team line up in 3rd or 4th and short and NOT be able to pick it up. In fact, how many of those times did we LOSE YARDAGE? A lot. How many times were we 1st and goal inside the 5 and were unable to run for the score? Then add up how many times defenders were in the backfield to nearly take the handoff. This OL had to be EASILY bottom 10 in the league, if not bottom 5. Geno AND our RBs were amazing at dodging defenders that SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE BACKFIELD. It is amazing we were able to overcome this CRITICAL weakness for a 10-7 record. So - is it ANY surprise we ran less and passed more? NOT AT ALL. Our average 3rd down distance must have been atrocious! I am not sure how you can FAIRLY evaluate the QB, RB’s when he line play was so bad. Or the OC for that matter. What play do you call when your OL can’t block?
@@darrellwoodson7904 yup. Russell Wilson was a short, limited quarterback who was good at scrambling. (still is) But they schemed around his limitations.
Blaming it on Geno is the biggest "I don't watch Seahawks football" thing ever. Did he make costly interceptions? yes. But that's the name if the game when you throw for over 30 times a game and run a total of 14 times between 3 rb's. A good coach knows how to scheme for their O-line. If anything Geno was the saving grace...who knows he made have made grubbs look better than he actually was? But that being said. Grubb has some amazing passing schemes. He's just not ready for the NFL run game
MacDonald said that matchups are important in the NFL. But Grubb said you have to attack scheme, not matchups. It sounds like they're on different pages.
I think he should've been given another year with a HEALTHY OFFENSIVE LINE!!!! Smh! This team hasn't been the same on the O line since the Unger trade. I stand by this! When John traded Unger our whole identity has been in shambles ever since 2015. Especially on offense.
idk why you would fire a coach who is still getting used to the NFL, as said he learned so many things and he continues to learn, I say give him another szn
I hate waffling from anyone responsible for talking on behalf of an organization or business. I hate interviewers that allow it more. Just make them walk off set by asking "Are there any questions that we and the fans want actual answers to the you will answer?" "How can say the guy was great, but you fired him, without telling us why or what came to that? Don't be coy" What happened to truthfulness?
Other then Belichick, I'm not sure I've ever heard a coach talk but say so little. The vision for my 'offense is very hard to describe' and 'that's such a tough question?' But yet that lack of vision is why the O.C. was fired? I think we are understanding more the actual problem when we hear Macdonald. Man, I sure hope he gets better as he learns on the job, but I sure do miss Pete!
Mikes not gonna tell the entire League what his vision for the offense is though, Dave. We know that he wants to rely more on a solid run game foundation, but I think it’d be foolish to expect him to give detailed answers to questions like that. This guy got 10 wins as a rookie HC which is historic in Seattle. He’s not the issue. Be patient.
Grubb and O line did their job as best as they could but way to much passing when they should've ran a simple run play! It got predictable and it cost us!🤔
I agree. The fact it took most the season to figure out that we have an amazing power RB in charbonnet and an extremely talented player in Walker III tells me a lot. We probably would have had a lot more success in the RedZone and short downs plus not beating up Walker III running them improperly with the right playcalling. Also, Metcalf should be a top 3 wr and a factor every game period. I blame this in the offensive coordinators
Hawks were not next level this year. Very obvious in losses to Bill, Vikings, and GB Hackers. Everyone points to the need to upgrade offensive line, has to be some truth to that. Schneider needs to fix it, or we need to show him the door. It’s probably time for some new blood at that level anyways. Hawks haven’t mad it past Divisional Round in 10 years, 12s DEMAND CHANGE!
Seahawks have no identity of offense. Macdonald implies he wants to run more: Seattle offensive line struggles with run blocking Macdonald needs Seattle to score: Seattle struggles with pass blocking but throws more then runs it Macdonald needs to go to Schneider as have Schneider actually rebuild a good offensive line. PS, Schneider has not put together a good offensive line since Max Unger was traded a long time ago!!!!!
MM doesn't dish out behind closed doors intel and respects privacy. Plus saying the whole vision for other teams to notice and shut down is bad as well.
He's not going to say what his vision is so that the interviewers and those watching don't automatically assume those are all the reasons why he was fired. The question was an end around because they didn't get the answer they wanted originally.
Ryan grubb in one year had geno smith 4th in passing yards this season. Seahawks offense isn’t exactly full of weapons so I would say he was trending upwards. He’ll be great as the cowboys next OC
I’m torn because I understand why we fired Grubb but tbh I didn’t mind him, and we can’t blame all of the run struggles on him, I feel like we could’ve given him one more year to get it figured out but who knows
I like coach Mac, think he did a really solid job in year one. But that was easily his worst interview as a Seahawk. Answer the questions plainly or just decline to take the interview/postpone until you’ve had time to think about what you want to say.
Come on Hurd! Everyone knows why Grubb got fired the morning after the season ended! What do you expect the coach to say to you? He’s going to sound as professional as he can. I think it’s silly to ask him the questions that you did.
Okay but who was calling the plays? I thought it was Mike. But if it wasn’t, then Mike and Ryan need to be on the same page regarding the offense. And if they weren’t communicating, that’s Mike’s fault. Not Ryan’s. The Seahawks had a 10 win season, and they tied with LA for the top spot. That’s very acceptable for a first year head coach in the NFL. Bottom line for me: If Ryan deserved to be fired, so does Mike. This smacks of desperation and short term thinking by Mike.
I wasn't a big fan of ryan scrub being the OC in the first place. it just felt like something that was expected in the offseason when looking for coordinators. I was convinced he just spun a wheel with random plays on it 😂
If we're canning Grubb I want to see Jay Harbaugh GONE, his special teams were absolute garbage, far worse than Grubb did as the OC, if he is kept around that will say a lot about who Macdonald is as a coach.
Its interesting people who really dont understand football like think they do and they sit and criticize the professionals who do . All the professional Madden players and Middle school football stars.
Have you watched this season. I count 3 games minimum where we would have lost the game if it weren't for the defense. There were glimpses but really not enough
Every time I listen to one of these Mike Macdonald interviews, I'm reminded of that Conan O'brien skit with with his employee Jordan about the coffee maker. "That's the greatest non answer I've ever heard." ruclips.net/user/clipUgkx9SWC2DgNa34J9dSho5_TNAQsRe8T-Qyv?si=9L0LlS2XGDyZZFRV
Not sure if firing Grubb was a strong decision. Most of this comes down to less than mediocre offensive line play for a decade now. GM has to do something about it.
I thought Grubb called a good game..Better than the run, run, get sacked , punt like Pete Carroll's offense. It was Geno Smith who blew it on games they should have won.He didn't execute when he needed to.He also should have started Charbonnet instead of Walker.A long time ago.
Seriously, Man, if Mike wants Seahawks to runs the ball, he got a lot of work to do. First is your offensive tackle line is no as good, so as defensive line. You can’t win a Super Bowl by running the ball, you need to have a good WR to mix with Metcaft and JSN. Second, keep Smith for at least 2 more years before you draft a new youngster QB.
I'm not sold on MacDonald. He's probably an elite defensive mind, but not sure about his ability to lead men. He basically had a nervous breakdown here trying to explain what he's looking for in an offense. And I get it, I'm not a fan of conflict either. I hate letting friends and colleagues down, but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
I don't think he was having a nervous breakdown. I think he didn't want to publicly air out what he's looking for and then everyone saying, "Grubb wanted the complete opposite". There are different ways to win offensively, and Grubb could be a fit somewhere else. Publicly airing specifics could negatively affect Grubb's opportunities. Macdonald isn't a leader of men because he won't give details to the media/the world? Yeah okay 😂 There's a coach out there specifically known for not giving any concrete info/vision to media/public that has a few SB wins. So if it's that coach 2.0 here with Macdonald, I'll take it 😂
He could have learned something from Pete Carroll to help him become a more complete coach. IMO he should have been hire as the defensive coordinator and in a few years maybe givin an opportunity. We lost to the Giants for crying out loud a team that had no business being in a game with us or anybody really. We dominated them last year in their house 24-3.
Dude he just led a flawed team to a 10-7 record in his first head coaching job ever at any level let alone the NFL. One more than a hall of fame coach. If you can’t see the potential he has if we give him the right pieces i don’t know what to tell you my friend
@@alexgrandii2870 Mac did well for his rookie season as a head coach but 1.Our division is weaker then it's been in many many years. A Pete Carroll lead team probably goes undefeated through the division 2. We lost to the Giants the worst team in the league. 3. We almost lost to the Jets, Bears, and Patriots. That should have been 10 wins right there then Miami without Tua and an Atlanta team that was ok should have been 12. Not at all like the gauntlet we had to run through last year in the AFC North which is still the best division. They'll run the ball and have gnarly defenses our Achilles. The Lions and Viks are really good but as far as the NFC North goes it's all smoke and mirrors as they matched up with the 2 most pathetic divisions in the NFC West and AFC South and smoked them. 4. Every quarterback that has played under Carroll has played his best football under Carroll Geno wasn't bad but probably plays just a little better especially in the turn over department. I feel very comfortable going forward with Mac I just didn't agree with the timing Jodie Allen could have bought both Mac to be our d coordinator and fellow Washingtonian Kellen Moore to run our offense with her vast wealth. That would have been really really smart
This none explanation has me extremely worried about Mikes future. He clearly has no clue about offense or play calling. He said “it wasn’t our vision”, but doesn’t appear to have one…
he's not going to fully answer that question when he has just let go a first year coach or had all the exit interviews with the players and other coaches...
@@itshadouken when did Pete ever do any of that when a)it was the day after the last game and b)the same day he fired an OC.... you're grasping at straws...he has a vision and it didn't align with Grubbs offensive philosophy...
How bout the o-line line coach, ?, you need to develop these young guys, and quit flopping them In and out of play, trying to figure them out, a good o-line is unity, and continuity, they play better as a solid unit, knowing what each player or the guy next to him , is gonna do, rather than a mix and match, which We have been witnessing the last 5 years,🤐
You picked the wrong fall guy McDonald. Schneider needs to go and you need to be grounded. You made the record books this year in the wrong way by giving up a perfect game to a quarterback that speaks volumes
Well, the line might improve if the defense isn't certain about what's coming; everyone was saying the defenses knew what was coming before the snap on every play and that made it much easier for them.
If you can execute properly it doesn’t matter if the defense knows what is coming - we just COULD NOT get any consistent OL play, except BAD OL play. Defenders were CONSTANTLY in the backfield on both running and passing downs. PFF says our QB was under pressure 40% of the time while passing! We ranked 30th out of 32 TEAMS in OL play. Add in the ridiculous amount of motion/shift/offside penalties so you started with long field. A recipe for trouble. And just what play do you call when you can’t pass-block and you can’t run block guys?
I really like Mike but this was a foolish move on his part, especially after only one year. Grubb helps you to 10 wins, you got no OL push in order to run it, Geno throws 8 red zone INT's but Grubb is the problem? Nah man. Grubb had no problem running the ball at UDub, he only chose to pass a little bit more because he had MICHAEL PENIX.
Grubb had Talent at UW. Most OC look good with a bunch of talent to coach. Grubs formations and play calling were predictable at the NFL level. The talent level wasn't there to bail him out. Saying all the picks are on Geno could be only partially true depending on the play calling.
Lol Geno has led most passers this year in 3 major passing stats hes top 3 and he was amazing last night get used to Geno mhm he will def be back yuppers
And replace him with who? He’s better than anyone available in the free agent market and draft. The O-line is the problem. They don’t give time for plays to develop and they don’t allow any sort of a run game. Wasting a pick on a QB would be retarded this year
Absolutely moronic. The QB broke franchise records and we had 10 wins. Offense wasn't the problem. The GM wont invest in an OL. I'm done with the Seahawks. I'll go be a Falcons fan.
I get husky fans that are upset by this but reality is, Grubb deserves it. The lack of a run game (no its not only because of the o line), the amount of presnap penalties due to illegal motions and what not, and the inability to adjust your gameplan to your personnel was tragic. He earned this firing.

Stop undervaluing the O line John.OK time to draft most powerful run blocking Guard Tyler Booker from Bama and new 3rd receiver Emeka Egbuka 4.3 40 Buckeye receiver and former Injigba teammate .

Get rid of Geno I rather have Kirk cousins
There aren't many amazing O-Line athletes coming out of college. I mean the best of the middle is going to be the middle. Plus the NFL doesn't pay O-line these days, the only pay the D-line. Why would that type of athlete take the job?
No TE game = NO cookies for dessert.
No first 2 picks should be offensive line or s QB or lb.
i friggin LOVE how business-first he is!! no time to waste, get it done or move on. LOVE IT!!

Hopefully no more shotgun formation for on 3rd and 2. Yikes.
Or this past Sunday, when we lined up in shotgun and threw it 15 yards on 3rd and 1. Jesus it's frustrating.
Shoutout to Nemhauser. Mike's explanation sounded pretty much exactly like what he's been saying for weeks 😂

Yes, it is always a good idea to get "reasons" why major decisions are made.
Finding a good offensive coordinator is very hard and Macdonald is going to find out the hard way.
Should be easy to find one who's at least a little better for the hawks than grubb

He knows, he’s just not giving any details out of respect for Grubb. I think it was the lack of a run game myself
@@jake25636100% if he just called out grub then it wouldn’t be fair to him
MM doesn't dish out behind closed doors intel and respects privacy. Plus saying the whole vision for other teams to notice and shut down is bad as well.
He's not going to say what his vision is so that the interviewers and those watching don't automatically assume those are all the reasons why he was fired. The question was an end around because they didn't get the answer they wanted originally.
How many times did he say "we need to run the ball more." His vision was pretty clear, he is from the Harbaugh tree. He wan't to run first to pass.
We didn’t see eye to eye on the direction of the offense.
What identity do you want to see on offense then?
Then just deflects lol
he just wanted us to run the ball more
Ryan grubb in one year had geno smith 4th in passing yards this season. Seahawks offense isn’t exactly full of weapons so I would say he was trending upwards. He’ll be great as the cowboys next OC
I’m torn because I understand why we fired Grubb but tbh I didn’t mind him, and we can’t blame all of the run struggles on him, I feel like we could’ve given him one more year to get it figured out but who knows
I like coach Mac, think he did a really solid job in year one. But that was easily his worst interview as a Seahawk. Answer the questions plainly or just decline to take the interview/postpone until you’ve had time to think about what you want to say.
Seemed pretty plain to me. Maybe you have a problem with speaking comprehension
@@nightburrito9283 Just because you are simple minded does not mean that everyone else is,
@@charlesd6060 I think you missed the point. Who's the simple minded one again?
He explained it GRUBB plainly
That's all that matters
Coach sounded like he has no vision for the offense
Why because he doesn't explain it to these two laymes? lmfao
PLAY TOUGH DEFENCE RUN THE FOOTBALL SPRINKLE IN THE PASS "CREATE TURNOVERS ON D"
Come on Hurd! Everyone knows why Grubb got fired the morning after the season ended! What do you expect the coach to say to you? He’s going to sound as professional as he can. I think it’s silly to ask him the questions that you did.
Agreed these two laymes lmfao
Okay but who was calling the plays? I thought it was Mike. But if it wasn’t, then Mike and Ryan need to be on the same page regarding the offense. And if they weren’t communicating, that’s Mike’s fault. Not Ryan’s.
The Seahawks had a 10 win season, and they tied with LA for the top spot. That’s very acceptable for a first year head coach in the NFL.
Bottom line for me: If Ryan deserved to be fired, so does Mike. This smacks of desperation and short term thinking by Mike.
Time to blame and fingers . Someone please whisper into Jody Allen ears John Schneider
nO-line killed the chances for a 13-4 season. 💙💚
I wasn't a big fan of ryan scrub being the OC in the first place. it just felt like something that was expected in the offseason when looking for coordinators. I was convinced he just spun a wheel with random plays on it 😂
John Schneider need too go also!!
If we're canning Grubb I want to see Jay Harbaugh GONE, his special teams were absolute garbage, far worse than Grubb did as the OC, if he is kept around that will say a lot about who Macdonald is as a coach.
He basically has to keep him because he's a harbaugh
It's just how chit works
Its interesting people who really dont understand football like think they do and they sit and criticize the professionals who do . All the professional Madden players and Middle school football stars.
Mike Macdonald's offensive idea would have seen the Seahawks lose 3 to 4 more games this year. GRUBB kept this team from being 5 and 12
Have you watched this season. I count 3 games minimum where we would have lost the game if it weren't for the defense. There were glimpses but really not enough
Dude that's ridiculous
If they ran the ball like they should have all year they'd definitely be in the playoffs right now lmfao
Why does he agree to come on this show? There are literally zero long term advantages
@5:16- how about someone that doesn't call a screen pass to the running back every 3rd and 10-15
Who’s available to be the next OC
Fire Harbaugh
And then have ALL the harbaughs mad at you?
Lmfao
@Dreadeyeknight Exactly haha
Hopefully, Grubb can find a head coaching job in the NFL or, at least, a head coaching job at the college level.
Every time I listen to one of these Mike Macdonald interviews, I'm reminded of that Conan O'brien skit with with his employee Jordan about the coffee maker.
"That's the greatest non answer I've ever heard."
ruclips.net/user/clipUgkx9SWC2DgNa34J9dSho5_TNAQsRe8T-Qyv?si=9L0LlS2XGDyZZFRV
John Schneider needs to go also
We may have to waste our whole draft on O-Lineman as it seems we haven't had a productive line since the 2015 era!
All of you saying Seahawks o line sucks so we can run the ball. What about the 49ers or Cardinals ?! And Walker has vastly more talent.
Another offensive coordinator takes fall for JS inability to build respectable OL
Drain the Swamp ……. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out! Next Man up! LFG!
John Schneider need to be fired next, he is so overrated.
John's here until Jody sells....be ready....
Yep
Wrong
Just say you don’t have a clue and stop embarrassing yourself
Alot of no answers here
Seattle Sports is a joke 😂
Not sure if firing Grubb was a strong decision. Most of this comes down to less than mediocre offensive line play for a decade now. GM has to do something about it.
Fire Grubb. THANK YOU LETS RUN THE COOTBALL
I thought Grubb called a good game..Better than the run, run, get sacked , punt like Pete Carroll's offense. It was Geno Smith who blew it on games they should have won.He didn't execute when he needed to.He also should have started Charbonnet instead of Walker.A long time ago.
Grubbs will be hired very quickley
THANK CHRIST
Seriously, Man, if Mike wants Seahawks to runs the ball, he got a lot of work to do. First is your offensive tackle line is no as good, so as defensive line. You can’t win a Super Bowl by running the ball, you need to have a good WR to mix with Metcaft and JSN. Second, keep Smith for at least 2 more years before you draft a new youngster QB.
Mark Brunell might be a good one
Mark brunel???? Whaaaa????
@Dreadeyeknight Lions QB coach. Bumpus said he could be good
@@bucc_360
Yeah i know who he is
I just didn't know he was a coach
He's one of my favorite players actually
The questions he asking Coach 😂😂😂😂 man trying to dig some real stuff to talk about out of coach.
Thinking that to fix all the issues is to fire coaches is a hallmark of a bad organization.
I'm not sold on MacDonald. He's probably an elite defensive mind, but not sure about his ability to lead men. He basically had a nervous breakdown here trying to explain what he's looking for in an offense. And I get it, I'm not a fan of conflict either. I hate letting friends and colleagues down, but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
I don't think he was having a nervous breakdown. I think he didn't want to publicly air out what he's looking for and then everyone saying, "Grubb wanted the complete opposite". There are different ways to win offensively, and Grubb could be a fit somewhere else. Publicly airing specifics could negatively affect Grubb's opportunities. Macdonald isn't a leader of men because he won't give details to the media/the world? Yeah okay 😂 There's a coach out there specifically known for not giving any concrete info/vision to media/public that has a few SB wins. So if it's that coach 2.0 here with Macdonald, I'll take it 😂
Watch any of his locker room speeches and tell me he isn’t a leader
He could have learned something from Pete Carroll to help him become a more complete coach. IMO he should have been hire as the defensive coordinator and in a few years maybe givin an opportunity. We lost to the Giants for crying out loud a team that had no business being in a game with us or anybody really. We dominated them last year in their house 24-3.
Dude he just led a flawed team to a 10-7 record in his first head coaching job ever at any level let alone the NFL. One more than a hall of fame coach. If you can’t see the potential he has if we give him the right pieces i don’t know what to tell you my friend
@@alexgrandii2870 Mac did well for his rookie season as a head coach but 1.Our division is weaker then it's been in many many years. A Pete Carroll lead team probably goes undefeated through the division 2. We lost to the Giants the worst team in the league. 3. We almost lost to the Jets, Bears, and Patriots. That should have been 10 wins right there then Miami without Tua and an Atlanta team that was ok should have been 12. Not at all like the gauntlet we had to run through last year in the AFC North which is still the best division. They'll run the ball and have gnarly defenses our Achilles. The Lions and Viks are really good but as far as the NFC North goes it's all smoke and mirrors as they matched up with the 2 most pathetic divisions in the NFC West and AFC South and smoked them. 4. Every quarterback that has played under Carroll has played his best football under Carroll Geno wasn't bad but probably plays just a little better especially in the turn over department. I feel very comfortable going forward with Mac I just didn't agree with the timing Jodie Allen could have bought both Mac to be our d coordinator and fellow Washingtonian Kellen Moore to run our offense with her vast wealth. That would have been really really smart
This none explanation has me extremely worried about Mikes future. He clearly has no clue about offense or play calling. He said “it wasn’t our vision”, but doesn’t appear to have one…
he's not going to fully answer that question when he has just let go a first year coach or had all the exit interviews with the players and other coaches...
@ Pete had no problem answering that question
@@itshadouken different circumstances...
@@brianmyers4444 how so? Pete went through a ton of o coordinators and never had a problem articulating his offensive vision.
@@itshadouken when did Pete ever do any of that when a)it was the day after the last game and b)the same day he fired an OC.... you're grasping at straws...he has a vision and it didn't align with Grubbs offensive philosophy...
Life is about timing. Grub will go to Bama and help get them to the playoff next year. Seahawks cannot run this because their OL sucks!
How bout the o-line line coach, ?, you need to develop these young guys, and quit flopping them
In and out of play, trying to figure them out, a good o-line is unity, and continuity, they play better as a solid unit, knowing what each player or the guy next to him , is gonna do, rather than a mix and match, which
We have been witnessing the last 5 years,🤐
You picked the wrong fall guy McDonald. Schneider needs to go and you need to be grounded. You made the record books this year in the wrong way by giving up a perfect game to a quarterback that speaks volumes
Good luck finding an OC that can work with this crappy O-line. Schneider should be fired and McDonald too if he thinks Grubb was the problem.
Well, the line might improve if the defense isn't certain about what's coming; everyone was saying the defenses knew what was coming before the snap on every play and that made it much easier for them.
Grubb was 100% a problem. Sorry you're upset the husky didn't work out
If you can execute properly it doesn’t matter if the defense knows what is coming - we just COULD NOT get any consistent OL play, except BAD OL play. Defenders were CONSTANTLY in the backfield on both running and passing downs. PFF says our QB was under pressure 40% of the time while passing! We ranked 30th out of 32 TEAMS in OL play. Add in the ridiculous amount of motion/shift/offside penalties so you started with long field. A recipe for trouble. And just what play do you call when you can’t pass-block and you can’t run block guys?
So DK gonna be gone .. because there’s no point to have a Top receiver if your not gonna throw him the ball !!
But why choose a o'clock from the huskies go get the oc from Ohio State buckeye's
Bring Bevell back!
Wow you're dmb azf lmfao
MacDonald is a fool. Grub was the fall guy. Fire John Schneider and MacDonald
that Coach can't answer Brock's questions.
Because it's questions that shouldn't be answered to the public.

Another Cupcake interview from 710.
I really like Mike but this was a foolish move on his part, especially after only one year. Grubb helps you to 10 wins, you got no OL push in order to run it, Geno throws 8 red zone INT's but Grubb is the problem? Nah man. Grubb had no problem running the ball at UDub, he only chose to pass a little bit more because he had MICHAEL PENIX.
Grubb had Talent at UW. Most OC look good with a bunch of talent to coach. Grubs formations and play calling were predictable at the NFL level. The talent level wasn't there to bail him out. Saying all the picks are on Geno could be only partially true depending on the play calling.
You hire Jesus as OC and he won't be successful without a decent O Line.
Not sure coach did a very good job either.....
Schneider sucks and Jody sucks
Geno next please
Lol Geno has led most passers this year in 3 major passing stats hes top 3 and he was amazing last night get used to Geno mhm he will def be back yuppers
Next extension, yep.
And replace him with who? He’s better than anyone available in the free agent market and draft. The O-line is the problem. They don’t give time for plays to develop and they don’t allow any sort of a run game. Wasting a pick on a QB would be retarded this year
@@vincegedeon6583 great until the redzone where it matters 😂
@@vincegedeon6583
I love how you THINK you're intelligent lmfao
Absolutely moronic. The QB broke franchise records and we had 10 wins. Offense wasn't the problem. The GM wont invest in an OL. I'm done with the Seahawks. I'll go be a Falcons fan.
Smartest thing we've done all season.
Mike Macdonald is a awful coach also. guy cant even answer a question. mike why ur defense cant stop 3rd sting players? rams/NYG .
the D against the rams lost a starting DT and at least two corners...tough to be at your best...
🤡🤡🤡
So awkward lol
I get husky fans that are upset by this but reality is, Grubb deserves it. The lack of a run game (no its not only because of the o line), the amount of presnap penalties due to illegal motions and what not, and the inability to adjust your gameplan to your personnel was tragic. He earned this firing.
GOOD RIDDANCE RYAN GRUBB 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 TERRIBLE AZZ OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
As his first major move, Coach Mike is creating a lot of questions.
Good
was not Ryan Grub's fault that our offensive line sucks we have a great head coach in McDonald we need a new GM will focus more on the offensive line
*****
What did I say? Mike can make the hard decisions, and I'm here for it!!! Wish you all the luck, Ryan✌️ But, let's Go Hawks!!!
