New OC Klint Kubiak said Seattle's offensive identity will be running the ball -- something the fired Ryan Grubb didn't do as often or as well as coach Mike Macdonald wanted -- but that they have to be able to win in more than one way.

Kubiak touted Smith's toughness and ability in the clutch, and he has a plan for freeing up DK Metcalf more often.

National reports emerged late last week that the Seattle Seahawks are expected to address starting quarterback Geno Smith’s contract this offseason. Smith is currently slated to enter the final season of a previously signed three-year extension. It’s fairly unrealistic to expect September to arrive without some sort of solution.
