Should you be expecting all four teams in the NFC West to do better than current expectations?

That's what we're going to talk about on today's episode of stealing with any shorts.

I'm Ben Gretsch.

You can find my newsletter at bengretch.com. Check out my new YouTube at Stealing Signals. With me as always is Sean Siegel.

You can find all of his great work over at Rodeviz. Let's jump into the discussion.

That leaves Sean the NFC West as the only division we have not talked about yet.

I mean, I get asked a lot about the Seahawks as Ryan Grub, former coordinator for the Washington Huskies, takes over as the offensive coordinator for the Seahawks.

We talked about this recently on the show, but basically I felt like it's tough to get a strong read on what he is as a coordinator and to separate him from Kalin DeBoar,

who was the offensive minded head coach at UW last year.

I think you think positively.

You think that he's going to probably bring a fun offense.

The Husky's offense was one of the most exciting in college football last year.

It's why Alabama went and hired DeBore, and it's why the Seahawks went down to the college

level and grabbed the OC and brought him up to the NFL level because it was an innovative,

forward thinking, modern offense, a lot of misdirection, a lot of motion, all of the things

that you want to see and they should get coaches excited.

And so not surprising to me that McDonald takes over as the head coach.

He's that guy on the defense side of the ball.

And he says, what's the type of offense that I'm most scared of when I scheme

up defenses and it's these offenses that are doing these things that they cause so many challenges

so let's go grab a lesser heralded you know college offensive coordinator but let's get

him up here at the NFL level and be an offensive coordinator I think you have to feel
