After weeks of OTAs, Smith and the Seahawks head into mandatory minicamp with a glimpse of a new offense.
OC Ryan Grubb joins the Seahawks after serving as the offensive coordinator at the University of Washington the past two seasons. Brady Henderson is a reporter for NFL Nation at ESPN. Henderson covers the Seattle Seahawks. He joined ESPN in 2017 covering the team for Seattle Sports 710-AM.

"Very impressed, man," Smith said last month."Obviously from the stuff he's done in college, he has a great track record. And then just being a part of the system, being able to learn from him, the type of guy that he is, type of man that he is, type of coach that he is. I think there is going to be great things coming for us."
Grubb implied that the Seahawks won't throw the ball as much as the Huskies did while leading FBS in passing yards per game and ranking 15th in dropback percentage over the past two seasons, though that was already assumed when he was hired by a defensive-minded head coach and inherited a rusher who eclipsed 1,000 yards two seasons ago in
A heavy dose of play-action also seemed like a given. Those plays accounted for nearly 31% of UW's passing attempts the past two seasons. Smith, meanwhile, compiled the NFL's fourth-best QBR on such throws during his two full seasons as a starter in Shane Waldron's offense. He ranked third last year."I think that there is a really good marriage there with some of the skill set that Geno has," Grubb said."I think that we ask our quarterbacks to do a lot.
