That's a fair question. My thought is that they will struggle more with the new schemes and assignments that MacDonald will be implementing as opposed to the competition itself. However, it may be advantageous to struggle with those new concepts against weaker teams which, once ironed out, will hopefully set them up for success against stronger teams.

If that makes sense.

You have rookie coaches working out new systems as well as attempting to install them. And the deal is not much time to do it. The NFL really limits practice. Remember the team struggling to get going under Pete, particularly the offensive line. He'd claim the learning process needed to extend into the regular season. It will be interesting to see how they get out of the gate with McDonald

So we might get upset and humiliated by the Rams at home just like last season? lol I think that using the first quarter of the season as extended preseason is a PC and Mariners thing...MM and Co will have them ready to go. They got to start early because of the coaching change if you recall.

Doesn't really excite me a lot

Working diligently to prepare for his first season at the helm after being hired in January to replace long-time coach Pete Carroll, Macdonald will get his first opportunity to conduct on-site meetings with players at the VMAC when the Seahawks open Phase One of the NFL's offseason program on April 8. Under terms of the league's collective bargaining agreement, the first two weeks of the program will be limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and rehabilitation only.

Two weeks of meetings that no other teams get should level the playing field in terms of implementing a new play book and schemes.. It is football not Nuclear Physics..and even teams with returning coaches have to do it with half their rosters every season due to rookies and FAs and such...

I agree with most of this. I also think reality could be a bitch.

How about now:

“I’m impressed with Sam, how he operates,’’ new head coach Mike Macdonald said Saturday. “We’re building it slow offensively. The whole playbook is not in, but command of the huddle, impressed with. He can spin it out there, that’s easy to see. Just getting used to his personality, you know, I think he’s starting to blossom a little bit more, that personality’s starting to come out, but really excited about him.”
