After spending eight seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp is taking part in his first minicamp for a new team for the first time ever. Kupp says it's, "New, but exciting," adapting to the Seahawks.
"It's been a long time since I learned a new offense, long time since I sat in a meeting and had to do the "put a face on the board and what's this guy's name? That's a stressful situation. That's a high-stress situation."
The new newness of the offense is something he's been enjoying learning.
"I'm excited about what we're doing and it is fun. I love to learn and so being in this place where we're all learning together, being able to step in and be a part of this whole offense, stepping into the same place as everyone else and be able to learn together, it's a fun place to be."
As it is in the NFL, many offenses and defenses mirror each other, because of coaching trees and a coach's different stops throughout the NFL. Although Kupp has not crossed paths with offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, the ideas to what he's learned so far in his career are similar.
"[Kubiak has] origins going all the way back to an offense that I'm very familiar with and there's going to be nuances here and there of things like that," Kupp said. "But a lot of similar stuff, a lot of similar ideas in how you're attacking a defense and I believe in this offense and what it takes to make it successful and the detail that's involved with it. There's a lot of things there that are real similar to stuff I've done in the past and there's some new stuff that I'm excited to learn and excited to step into. So it is good and there's definitely some stuff there that accentuates the things that I've done in the past."
While the whole receiving room is learning a totally new offense, Kupp says the want and drive of the offense to keep learning is, "the coolest thing."
"Just the willingness for all of the guys to say there's nothing in this offense that you want to be kept from. Everyone wants to be able to do everything and that's a big deal. You've got guys that are willing to play every position, learn every position, understand the intent of the play, and then being able to say, no matter where I'm at, I'm going to be willing to block D-ends, I'm going to be willing to block linebackers, willing to run every level of route. It makes it fun. So our guys are moving us around. Klint's deep into his bag of all the different formations and shifts and things that we can do. So it makes a lot of fun when you got guys that are willing to do everything, learn the offense as a whole and go out there and build, make plays."
And Kupp has spent a lot of time learning the new offense, but he's also spent a good amount of time learning about head coach Mike Macdonald, the defensive side of the ball and some of Macdonald's nuances.
Macdonald said, "Coop, he's gone against our defense, and he kind of knows how people attack us. Why wouldn't you run ideas by him to see what he thinks? I think we have proof on that front."
On learning more about the defense, Kupp said, "It might be my favorite thing, just the X's and O's, the learning, the chess match that football is and the innovation of guys like Mike who are pushing the boundaries defensively that then challenge the offense. Like you got to have answers. No offensive coordinator wants to go out there and just say, 'Hey, they got us.' There's always defenses that are trying to find ways to beat you and those conversations, those things with Mike, with the guys, a lot of the guys not coaching staff. It makes it a lot of fun to come into work. Like I said, I'm really enjoying being here and the challenge that it presents."
