The Facts: For the first time since 2011, the Seahawks are heading into a season with a new offensive coordinator. Wilson notes that the Seahawks aren’t making a “drastic change or anything like that” when it comes to the offense, but that Brian Schottenheimer has added his own ideas to the playbook. “It’s definitely some added stuff for sure, there’s definitely more on the plate,” Wilson said. “We’ve always had a lot of information, but it’s even more. But that’s OK. I’m ready for more and more and just continue to see how far we can take it. I think we’re going to have a great offense, I really do.”
Diehards Line:With former coordinator Darrell Bevell gone, as well as offensive line coach Tom Cable, who was replaced by Mike Solari, the Seahawks offense will be going through some significant changes, though not a complete overhaul. Wilson was quick to point out that he and the Seahawks did a lot of good things under Bevell and Cable, including winning Super Bowl XLVIII and returning to the Super Bowl a year later, but he is also embracing a new challenge in his seventh season in the NFL. As was the case when HC Pete Carroll first discussed hiring Schottenheimer earlier this offseason, Carroll again pointed to a desire to challenge Wilson as one of the reasons for bringing in Schottenheimer, who has a background as both a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.
