Seahawks' New OC: Dry Humor, Innovative Plays

Seattle Seahawks tight end Eric Saubert has quickly taken to new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, appreciating his dry sense of humor and innovative coaching style. Fleury, who previously coached Saubert with the San Francisco 49ers, was hired by the Seahawks in February.

Players describe Fleury as even-keeled and stoic, noting his ability to command a room and clearly articulate player roles. This has earned him respect from the Seahawks' coaching staff and players alike. Head Coach Mike Macdonald praised Fleury's integration into the existing offensive framework.

Fleury expressed enthusiasm for his first NFL coordinator role, acknowledging potential challenges but highlighting his long experience in play-calling. The Seahawks anticipate a run-game focused on outside zone principles and play-action passing, similar to their previous scheme, but with Fleury's unique touches.

Quarterback Sam Darnold also noted Fleury's consistent, even-keeled mentality from their time together in San Francisco. Tight end AJ Barner added that Fleury runs his meetings professionally and expects high standards from his players, making him a great fit for the team.
