...Why did the offense go from stunningly bad to excellent in a single year between 2017 and 2018?
Seriously. Offensive Coordinator doesn't matter under Pete, so why did the offense go from anemic and sad to rushing at will and passing with unmatched efficiency in the span of a single offseason? Was it simply a coincidence that they happened to hire a new offensive coordinator that offseason? I mean, Pete runs the show and offensive coordinator doesn't matter under him, so.. how did that happen?
I mean, after all, they kept an estimated "70%" of the playbook according to that ESPN report! Let's ignore that they completely changed their approach to calling the offense, completely changed the entire blocking scheme when bringing in Solari, and completely revitalized a Russell Wilson (who had slumped in production for two years straight because the offense was dysfunctional) because I mean, that doesn't matter. It can't. Offensive Coordinator doesn't matter under Pete, so how could this happen?
Seriously, how could the offense look entire different from 2017 to 2018 in everything from how they blocked to how they ran to how they passed to how they executed to.... etc etc.? It's all Pete, so it was still the same thing right? It always has been the same thing, right? Despite it being vastly different and achieving different results?
I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong and the guy who coordinates and calls the offense on an NFL team might affect things a *tad*. Who knows.
Talk me out of it, though. I want to see the light.
If offensive coordinator doesn't matter in Seattle, why did Seattle changing offensive coordinators in 2017 to 2018 result in one of the most shocking offensive turnarounds in recent NFL history?
