Great to have Geno back.

The Seahawks continue to make good decisions post Pete. I was very against Pete firing but things are looking better and better with each decision JS has made. Give props where props are due.

JS said in his opening press conference that he thinks this team is close. Well, no surprise then you keep your starting QB who is under contract for the next two years and playing, as JS said "Good". However, there was some concern especially from a very odd Schefter tweet that the team may have been thinking about moving on from Geno (and potentially starting a larger reset).

Joe, or someone else pointed this out the other day ... There may just be a weird period when people are adjusting from positive Pete speak to straightforward JS talk. Schefter could have just gotten signals crossed because JS is so direct.

The Seahawks have gone 9-8 and 9-8 in the first two years of a rebuild and fired their coach. There is no reason this team should be thinking about anything less than competing for a championship.

Last year with Geno they had a top ten offense with a bottom 5 O-line. If Grubb can improve the O-line at all, you could have a top 5 offense. Even if Grubb keeps the offense playing at the same level and the defense becomes average this is a playoff team. And if the defense is actually good this team competes to make it to the SB.

As JS said, he believes this team is close. Keep the offense intact while upgrading the actual problem (O-line) and try to let Mac work his magic on the defense.

Give Geno an O-line and a defense and let's go back to the Super Bowl.

Great article. We shouldn’t be surprised if anybody on the team is released or traded, but I expect that the 2024 team will be built around Geno, DK, JSN, Spoon, and Dickson. Next, add the starters who are still on their rookie contracts.

I personally like that Geno is the likely starter. He provides certainly going into next season. JSMM can’t retool the entire team in one offseason, and they just eliminated the risk of having only QBs who suck. And it’s possible that the new offense will elevate Geno to the next level. Let Geno Dine.

My biggest interest is to see what happens at LB and DL. With less churn on the offense, and some good DBs under contract, MM has a clear opportunity to build the front seven with his players. And he just might go young (and cheap) there to help bankroll more changes in 2025. Young players might just be more open to learning the new system than vets. I expect JS to be wheeling and dealing this April.
