Seahawks expecting to also bring in Rick Dennison

From what I read the other day, he also has a very good track record with the offensive line. So, I will be excited to see him and Benton work their magic.

The Saints have worse cap problems than us and fewer ways to solve it.
Time to make some room with our own cuts and bring a couple of these guys in on Kubiak & Dennison's coat tails.

When I first read the title, my 90s Hawks PTSD 'quick scan', read - ' Seahawks also expecting to bring in Dennis Erickson '. ..

The old ticker stopped for about 5 seconds there...

Rick Meier actually had a good rookie year and was possibly developing into a decent QB until Dennis Erickson got his hands on him. What possibly could have been.

This new offensive staff is basically a black box given the Saints' injury situation last year rivalling ours from 2017. But the work they did before that wasn't exactly inspiring.

I remember that year and people touting that he did well. I would disagree though because other than throwing for a decent amount of yards for rookie quarterback, he threw more interceptions than touchdowns and had a 56% completion rate.

I saw Venison

I remember them dumbing down the playbook for him at one point. Can't remember if that was his rookie year though.

One more older guy with a ton of experience. Seems like it would be a good get for our staff.

It was his rookie year under Flores. When Erickson came in his playbook was about as thick as the Bible and that was the beginning of Meier's downfall.

Well, New Orleans had a grand total of 3 games with their core offensive weapons (1, 2, & 4) but they also have that chunk of games with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (weeks 9-13) taking over as WR1 for Rashid Shaheed that I think gives a pretty good look at what they wanted their offense to look like.

If that 7-game sample of the Saints with their core weapons represented a 'real' team, they would have been a top 5 offense. (#6 in points per drive, #1 in scoring rate surpassing both Detroit and Washington).

Obviously, there is a ton of caveats with this kind of analysis. It ignores that other teams faced varying degrees of injury as well, it also only considered injuries sustained to offensive skill players (not the Offensive Line), and of course pulling a sample of opponents isn't the same as an entire season of opponents for a variety of reasons.

That said, I'd say the takeaway from when they had their weapons (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) on the field is encouraging to point to as a hypothetical ceiling when everything is clicking.


Overall, though, seeing moves like this to me represents the best part about having an established NFL OC come on (vs. a college guy or an assistant taking the step up) is that he has an established system AND he's got a bunch of guys who already also know that system, which I think will improve how well they can install this offense.

I mean, at this point, we've got the OC, O-Line Coach, QB Coach, and if we add Dennison here that'd be at least two other offensive assistants (including a former PLU QB) who all just worked together on this offense last year. It's never great to be changing OCs for the third time in as many seasons, but this is about as much continuity as you could possibly get.

 

[Ozzy]

I love it. Give Kubiak whatever he feels he needs to succeed. If the problems are truly coaching and not personnel like I've been told the past couple of years then this is fantastic. He has a ton of pieces to play with, just add a couple of guys in key areas and there is zero reason this offense isn't very good next year with Geno or whatever direction they decide to go.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

There's something to be said about comfortability. Guys need to be able to bring in who they are comfortable with, and who know the plan.

Dude, for some reason that's how I read it at first glance too. Thank goodness I was mistaken..

Still waiting for the in vestment in an autographed jersey to pay off. What a turd

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, the Seahawks are hiring Justin Outten as run game specialist.

Outten, 41, was previously with the Titans. He was the running backs coach and run game coordinator in 2023 under former head coach Mike Vrabel. He was retained on Brian Callahan’s staff in 2024 as tight ends coach.

He was previously with the Falcons before heading to Green Bay to be tight ends coach under head coach Matt LaFleur in 2019. He was then the Broncos’ offensive coordinator under Nathaniel Hackett in 2022.

Back in '93 I bought an autographed Rick Mirer jersey. I mistakenly thought it would be worth something in the future. The future kicked my butt on that. It's kind of a funny talking point, but it's really a big blue turd
