it\u2019s a bit overrated<\/a>,\u201d Macdonald said, via Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. \u201cAt some point, all play callers have to be first-time play callers. You could tell how Brian thinks about the game. Look, you\u2019re going to have to grow into any new role, but we have a lot of great people around here and a lot of great opportunities for him to get ready to go. I\u2019m really confident he\u2019s going to be off and running sooner than later.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\nFleury called defensive plays as a defensive coordinator at Sacred Heart University from 2006-08 and ran the special teams at Towson from 2009-12. He moved to the offensive side of the ball in 2020 with the 49ers, became the team\u2019s tight ends coach in 2022 and added run game coordinator duties under Kyle Shanahan last season.<\/p>\n
Fleury said he has \u201calways been preparing\u201d to call the plays.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thing about offensive play-calling to me is the preparation is done ahead of time,\u201d Fleury said. \u201cYou\u2019re thinking through the situations and putting plays in a list format of when you get to second and one inside the 30-yard line, what are you going to call? So, the preparation aspect of it I\u2019ve already done, now it\u2019s just a matter of analyzing the information in real time and getting to the right play call on the sheet.\u201d<\/p>\n
The most important thing for Macdonald was keeping Klint Kubiak\u2019s system in place. The Seahawks ranked eighth in yards per game and passing yards per game and finished third in points scored per game (28.4).<\/p>\n
Fleury said the offense will look \u201cvery similar to the one that just won the Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seahawks introduced new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury on Thursday.
