Thank you for checking it out. I appreciate it. Really not a fun video to make from the standpoint of the Ravens losing MacDonald, but it has to be exciting for the Seahawks fanbase. And organization. I might do a follow up soon. I removed the comment from someone with no maturity.
I’m so excited for this hire and this year The main problem for the Seahawks for 5+ years is the lack of creativity - They run the same coverage and plays over and over again - They didn’t set up their players for success - They didn’t disguise what they do on the backend - They rarely blitz and when they do it’s vanilla Mike is an elevates all talent. I can’t wait to see what he does with Nwosu and Boye while having an elite corner group. Can’t wait to see how he builds the trenches and what FA he signs. And most importantly the draft
yes, exactly same cover 3 soft zones give up the short stuff. Never made it hard for the qb at all what he saw pre snap was what he was getting post snap. Spoon was so impactful as a blitzer last year from the slot and they barley utilized it.
It's unfortunate that it became the way it became. But now that the season is over and Pete has been let go, I see the silver lining. Hiring Coach Macdonald can and should completely remake the Seahawks back into one of the most physical and elite teams in the NFL. It was hard to see Pete go for all he accomplished in his 14 years in Seattle. But it was time to move another direction and I am so freaking proud of John Schneider for identifying Mike and not rushing to get a hire and instead patiently waited. I believe John and Mike are going to make a potent combo for many years to come, and get us back to playing for championships. I am so freaking jacked for the future in Seattle. Now I'm eagerly searching all forms of Seattle sports news to see who Mike ends up hiring as his OC. Our offense is so stinking stacked with talent and if he finds the right dude this team is going to be one of the scariest and hardest teams to prepare for. LFG!!!! Go Hawks 💙💚
When Pete only hired he's own guys/minions nothing changed.. he truly wasted years off of guys careers with that BS vanilla scheme. He should've been gone 4 years ago.
Seahawks fan here , ravens are my AFC team I always root for and nothing but respect for that organization hopefully we get a seahawks ravens superbowl. #BIRDGANG # STEELERSSUCK #4WHINERSSUCK
From a 12.... thank you for this video sir!!! You are greatly appreciated. We have people that cover Seattle, but are not Seattle fans who do a million times better at these videos than fans who have a channel and cover the team. It's nice watching somebody break down the Xs and Os in a digestible way. Thank you again.
Thank you coach! Another Seahawks fan here. Your ability to break down concepts in an easy to understand manner is unmatched. Which current Seahawks defenders do you think will thrive under MacDonald? You mentioned Mafe and Nwosu. I'd agree and also think that Riq woolen, Witherspoon , and Julian love could thrive. And Leonard Williams (who hopefully re-signs). Thank you again! You rock
I've been saying all year that this defense - just going off of talent - is a top 5 unit in the league but performs like a bottom 5 one. We have maybe the best man-corner duo in the league and didnt use it. Most ppl probably dont know that Spoon came out as the highest graded corner by PFF ever, playing 600 snaps on the outside as a true island corner while only playing 100 snaps in the slot where Pete had him 90% of the time. Mafe has potential to be a star, we added Big Cat, Dre'mont Jones is better than he looked, Jordyn Brooks has broken Bobby's solo tackle record and so on. I think we have potential to be one of the best defenses in the league next season already
I was also very confused by how poorly the Defense played as a whole at times in, 2023. Especially with how much individual talent they have on the field. I think by Wk 10 you will see a very in tune Defense, one that is multiple and works together unselfishly. That is the thing I noticed about the Ravens Defense, how unselfish they are.
Not sure where you got that pff info but it’s clearly not true….he graded out at 84.1 for the season…Sauce Gardner and Jaylon Johnson top two for 2023…top rated rookie in 2023 if that’s what you were referring too….but not top ever ……
That first clip was great too see again. I love this scheme. These NTT (not traditional Tampa) are great and I think we will see more and more teams running them this year. Gotta love having a safety running the pole
Thank you. I appreciate it. Seahawks fans have been very cool about checking this one out. I'm looking forward to seeing what Macdonald can do with all the young talent there.
You did a fantastic job explaining Mike MacDonalds scheme you should continue doing Seahawks videos when he coaches this upcoming season, thanks so much
Supposedly this was what seattle was going to do last year, run disguised D coverages, however they only seemed disguised to the Seahawks players, not the opposing teams. Looking forward to a guy who can actually run this kind of defense as opposed to just confusing our own D and hopefully get the Hawks players to actually make good tackles as opposed to bad angles and missed tackles. Your coverage and film play of MM is great and much appreciated!!
Hearing you talk about it being a system that would be friendly to backups, I fully agree, and a name I think everyone should keep in mind because he will be a known name by the end of the year is Jerrick Reed II. I think he’s gonna be awesome in this setting
Thanks for the breakdown! Dont worry about telling us the truth, true Seahawks fans have very thick skin. Most of the bandwagon fans have fallen off by now.😂
Man, it's a bittersweet moment in Hawks history. I remember the day when they announced Pete as the coach. I was so excited. Mora was a wannabe coach and we sucked big time. Pete and John tore that team apart the first year and made them into contenders every season after that. 14 years of great Seahawks ball. Hope the new coach can follow that up. He's got the talent and he has the assistants to do the same thing. Go Hawks!!!!
Appreciate the video. BTW- I don't think Pete Carroll will be involved or in the building at all. I don't think the advisory role is real, they just fired him as nicely as they could.
as a hawks fan, awesome breakdown. and agreed, i've seen the stats of woolen which say he was dominant this year. however he didn't look good watching the games. penalties too. he was more of a detriment than a benefit in a lot of games. sophmore slump. I do think he bounces back in this scheme and gets a lot of int
Sadly I don't think he can run sufficiently fast enough now to do this- but the real coaches with input will make the real decision there if not the player himself.
As long as he can stop the flood zone concept that Mcvay and other love to run against the Hawks and fix the run defense then it's a great hire Go Hawks
ravens fans wanted mike to be head coach and let Harbust have a job in the front office in charge of dancing and worn out speeches if you do not kiss the harbaugh shoes even if you are good your are DOA in the doghouse
Seahawks fan here, thank you for doing this. Your ability to teach and go in-depth is unmatched.

As a Ravens fan I’m so crushed but no place I would rather him go but Seattle
Right , I'm a Hawks fan but have always pulled for the Ravens because these teams and culture are a lot alike.

A TON of respect for your org. Almost cousins...love the attitude and way you guys play ball.

Sad to see Mike leave Baltimore but I'm definitely going to be watching more Hawks games next season hope they do well in their conference

Seaside Joe sent me here as a Seahawk fan. Your breakdown is super thorough, yet easy to understand. Well done. Keep it up!
This video is an incredible gift to Seahawks fans. Thank you!
Another Seahawks fan. Thanks for doing this. Great content
Thanks from a Tennessee Seahawks fan
I am so excited to see how this all works in Seattle! Thank you so much for sharing.🙏
Ravens D is weird. One defender not named Wagner can solo tackle, and defenders not called Spoon hit guys really hard. Looks very strange.
/s
1st time Hawks visitor and new subscriber. Most excellent school you run here. Thanx!
He brings great songwriting, one of a kind vocals and 5 Grammy awards. Welcome to Seattle Michael McDonald! What's that?...
I keep forgettin'... he's not with the Ravens anymore
He'll be calling the defensive plays next season, so hopefully he finds a competent OC who can handle playcalling duties.
SEA!!!

Thanks for the deep look using the All 22. Great material and commentary. You know your football.
Wow thanks for doing this! Got here recommended by Seaside Joe. This is good stuff!
As a Seahawks fan I really appreciate this.
Just so you know though, it's unlikely Pete will have any role at all as an "advisor".
Thank you. I appreciate it. Seahawks fans have been very cool about checking this one out. I'm looking forward to seeing what Macdonald can do with all the young talent there.
Excellent!!! Thank you👍
GO HAWKS!!!
You’re IN😉
You did a fantastic job explaining Mike MacDonalds scheme you should continue doing Seahawks videos when he coaches this upcoming season, thanks so much
Hawks fan- Seaside Joe sent me your way. Thank you for this primer- very good!
Coack Mike and Frazier as Assistant is brilliant.
Can you further explain ?
Leslie Frasier is joining Macdonald as assistant coach. Bringing alot of knowledge to help him get integrated as a head coach.
Supposedly this was what seattle was going to do last year, run disguised D coverages, however they only seemed disguised to the Seahawks players, not the opposing teams.

Working on one or more. Thank you for the suggestion.

Great video. If you decide to cover the Seahawks, you would be the best person covering the Seahawks!
does this mean we will get seattle coverage from you ? 🙏
Man the Seahawks had BT Jordan as a pass rush specialist last year and they let him go 😭. He trains all the dlineman
Ice cream. I want ice cream 😂
It hurts man
Great vid breakdown thanks. I think spoon is more than talented enough to play the Hamilton role
What’s going to help his the defense is he has a good punter
How does Bobby Wagner fit into this system... He has lost a step and his 2023 numbers were inflated by the # of plays the defence had to play
He doesn't really. He was Pete's guy. I don't think he will resign, but it possible I guess.
Sadly I don't think he can run sufficiently fast enough now to do this- but the real coaches with input will make the real decision there if not the player himself.
SEA!
Coach , We are not letting Chuck Smith go, Don't tell them all of our guys .
As long as he can stop the flood zone concept that Mcvay and other love to run against the Hawks and fix the run defense then it's a great hire Go Hawks
Seahawks defense will be the first one taken in my draft this year. They are going to suffocate offenses 😮💨
You are right about Woolen. His technique is sloppy, he’s undisciplined and he’s a terrible tackler. Lots of upside.
ravens fans wanted mike to be head coach and let Harbust have a job in the front office
in charge of dancing and worn out speeches
if you do not kiss the harbaugh shoes even if you are good your are DOA in the doghouse
He's not Pete Carroll
