Seahawks fire OC Ryan Grubb after one season

[day-day]

A player entering the portal tends to pen a lengthy social media post, first going through a long list of all the things he appreciates about his current school, then, before the actual announcement, almost invariably writing, "With that being said..."

I'd hate to count how many times "with that being said" (or similar like "having said that") is used in forum posts. Sometimes it only takes a post with only two sentences. I don't know why, but it raises my pet peeve meter every time I see it. Now if I can avoid using it myself...

It is funny how many times that lesson presents itself, over and over.
Run the ball, play good defense. "Same as it ever was."

A wise coach once said " the same things win that always won. You just have a bunch of different excuses for when you lose."

Could they (DeBoer and Sheridan) have done more to adjust? Yeah, I'm sure they could. I just argue that marrying themselves to Milroe severely limited any adjustments they could have made and it have any long-term difference. Teams had figured out how to stop Milroe. Stack the box, take away our running game, and begin to mix coverages to confuse Milroe and you had us. It's easy to say run play action but play action only works if you're running the ball effectively, which we couldn't. Our Oline was so inconsistent and Milroe had zero idea how to adjust protection pre snap.

When teams realize your QB can't read a defense, it severely shrinks the adjustments available for a staff to make. Again, the defense was shooting fish in a barrel.

People keep saying we couldn’t run the ball effectively, but I don’t think we ever really tried. Our offense was solely focused on Milroe. Jam and Haynes were criminally underused.
