Starting a new regime in the NFL always carries some amount of unpredictability. What is the best case scenario in Mike Macdonald's first season with the Seahawks?
As we get closer to training camp, all NFL fans can do at the moment is just sit and wonder... and dream. Everyone is 0-0. Nobody is eliminated from Super Bowl contention as of June. Dare to dream.
Geno Smith's skill set seems to fit well with what Grubb did at UW. Penix was the perfect fit at Montlake, distributing the ball to elite playmakers all over the field with pinpoint accuracy and poise. Smith possesses similar traits, especially with an accurate deep ball. Among quarterbacks with at least 200 pass attempts last season, per Pro Football Focus, Smith was the best quarterback in the NFL in "Big Time Throw" rate on passes 20-plus yards downfield.
The linebackers need to be a surprising group led by Jerome Baker and Tyrel Dodson, or maybe even rookie Tyrice Knight, though they wouldn't have to be a strength necessarily with the line dominating up front. In this scenario, the Seahawks ride a disruptive defensive line and versatile, play-making secondary to a top 10 scoring defense.With all that into consideration, how far can the Seahawks go with a revamped offense and a strong defense? To say they would win the NFC West might be too much. The 49ers look to be very good again. The Seahawks going 11-6 might not even cut it.
