Ryan Grubb's first season as the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator comes to an end after a disappointing performance. Despite a strong background in college football, Grubb struggled to translate his success to the NFL.

Geno Smith finished the season fourth in pass attempts with 578, and it could’ve easily been north of 600 if not for an injury against the Green Bay Packers that took him out for much of the 2nd hal
