2026 OTAs thread

[Michael K.]

How about this for a bet. I bet Price has more receptions than Garrett has sacks....

I'm willing to bet the only reason Walker has more this year is KC throws more. I am excited about Price, not worried that Milroe steals anything from him, and see no reason that he isn't the opening day starter. Milroe's role? Who the Hell cares? He is a gadget that broke, so we stopped using it. Big deal. Maybe some day he will have a role, but my guess is they saw enough last year to pause on the Milroe gadget play experiments.

Sounds encouraging

“It's a lot of the same stuff, (with) Fleury obviously coming from San Francisco, but a couple different wrinkles here and there. So it's been good that way to be able to get some of that same verbiage, but just a couple different wrinkles.”

“Fleury has been great. His command, his presence, the way that he installs it with the run game, pass game, his command over the entire system has been incredible,” added Darnold, stressing the importance of being a sponge in their OTAs

So he didn't tear down the offense of a SB winning team and start from zero. Ok looks like we might survive a new OC. Hopefully we can survive a new Asst. GM too.

Yeah, he was hired because he is from an organization that runs the same offense, it be a little odd to tear it down. Shane Waldron was the same thing, Rams basically run the same offense. Surviving will involve how he actually prepares and handles games

Don't forget what happened to the drafts after Scott McCloughan left in 2013. Apparently Teasley had an important role in the talent evaluation for the last several Seahawk drafts.

Nolan Teasley played a highly collaborative role in the Seahawks' drafts, ultimately rising from an intern to assistant general manager. He worked closely with GM John Schneider to evaluate collegiate and pro talent, translate scouting priorities into analytical models, and help determine overall player value in the draft.

Throughout his 13 seasons in Seattle, Teasley's specific draft duties spanned several areas:

•Talent Evaluation & Scouting: He created detailed scouting reports on collegiate players and dissected both free agency and opposing rosters to gauge roster needs prior to drafts.

•Analytical Modeling: Teasley influenced the team's draft strategy by bridging traditional scouting with analytics. He translated positional priorities and football traits into statistical numbers to streamline decision-making.

•Valuation & Management: Working up to Assistant General Manager, he met with agents to establish player values, managed roster turnover, and contributed to the overall player acquisition process.

The Seahawks' recent, highly successful drafts (which yielded key contributors like Charles Cross, Boye Mafe, Kenneth Walker III, Riq Woolen, and Devon Witherspoon) coincided with his ascending leadership within the front office.
