Russell Wilson talks Seahawks offense under new coordinator Shane Waldron
The Seattle Seahawks’ offense under offensive coordinator Shane Waldron for the 2021 season is highly anticipated. Quarterback Russell Wilson spoke to reporters Thursday and discussed Waldron and the offense he has laid out in organized team activities.
“One thing that I love about him is that he really understands the game and all aspects of it,” Wilson said about Waldron. “We’ve spent a lot of time together talking ball. I’ve had great conversations with him, several conversations along the way with him during the process. And I just really believe in him.”
Wilson stated that the offense will retain some core concepts, but will also expand on what we have seen in years past, giving defenses new looks and challenges to face.
“I wouldn’t say it’s a massive departure,” Wilson said. “I think that we have a lot of the core concepts and things that we’ve done over the years that have been extremely, extremely successful. I think that we also have some nuances across the board that really challenge the defense. Like I said, using the whole field and really expanding the offense and just using everybody as much as possible with different formations and different looks and different tempos and all that.”
Wilson and others have only been in OTAs for about a week, but the veteran signal-caller said that things are proceeding smoothly so far.
“All of that has shown up in the three, four days we’ve been out here, and it’s been spectacular to see. So I’m excited. I know Shane’s excited too. So it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
