He was doing coach speak a lot also. Saying they are putting the pedal to the metal and seeing it, well, we can dream till we see what the product is.

This is HUGE.
They will likely become a wide zone running team, and consistently boot Wilson off of it. Spread the ball around better, get the TEs more involved, and Waldron in his first presser mentioned, "full pedal." Hell yes! He mentioned properly planning for opponents. Double hell yes!
They will actually blend the running game, and passing game proper. Moving away from the predictable, albeit talented, disaster they've been over the years.
Amazing hire.
I don't expect Pete to meddle too much this time. Funnily enough that was the first question he was asked at his presser,
"How much autonomy will you have?"
Pete meddled in the past because his "yes" man coordinators were screwing it up, so he would step in and simplify things, in the only way Pete knew how as a defensive coach.
The Shanny/McVay system is centered on the running game. The coaches who come out of that system WANT to run the ball. You don't have to tell them. The difference is compared to what Pete was doing, is the passing game is designed to play off of the running game in a way that it makes it hard for defenses to decipher what it is you're exactly doing on a play to play basis. They're blended, they are one. If puts the 2nd level defenders in conflict and they don't know whether to play the run or pass.

This is for anyone who is more of an expert than me, (the layman), but is this system similar to what LaFleur runs in GB? It seems like everything they do is based off the run game and they do a hell of a lot of boots. Things must be schemed where the defense has no clue because they were able to scheme guys wide open all season long.
I ask because this system basically rejuvenated Rodgers. Low-key, outside of a hot stretch in the 2nd half of 2016, he hadn't put up elite numbers since 2014. If we can do anything close to the turnaround with Russell (and it's not like he was bad, he just wasn't able to put up elite numbers for an entire season the past two seasons), we may be in for something special.

Question: I read that Waldron has never called the plays in a regular season game as OC. What sort of confidence do we have that by osmosis he absorbed enough to carry it over to our passing game?
I mean I’d love it if our offense could be like mcvays and generate a ton of easy throws, it just feels like a bit of an assumption that that is what we will get.

That is bad for the Seahawks, Pete is the reason the Seahawks blew the second half of the season. Pete Carroll should have been replaced not resigned, his approach is very outdated and his mind is no longer fast enough for play calling. I do not blame Russell Wilson for getting upset when it looks like more of the same for several years and no more superbowls. Pete is not even close to being in Sean McVays caliber.
