Episode notes
Seahawks Hire Risky Offensive Playcaller
- The Seahawks hired Brian Flurry as offensive coordinator despite his limited NFL offensive experience.
- Flurry has five years on offense, a Shanahan-era background, and was George Kittle's position coach, making the hire intriguing but risky.
Outside Zone Pedigree Won't Be Easy To Maintain
- Clint Kubiak brought a deep outside-zone pedigree that Flurry lacks, making continuity hard to replicate.
- Kubiak is a second-generation outside-zone coach; Flurry has only five years of offensive coaching in the NFL.
Seahawks Let Dominant Kenneth Walker Leave
- The Seahawks let Kenneth Walker walk in free agency despite his dominant late-season form.
- Walker averaged 5.24 yards per carry and was on pace for about 2,200 scrimmage yards in his last six games, yet Seattle declined to franchise tag him.
