Want to learn more about Seattle Seahawks<\/a> offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak\u2019s offense? This is the article and video for you.<\/p>\n

This latest HawksZone Rundown podcast episode is a must-watch, delivering expert insights on how Kubiak\u2019s system will transform Seattle\u2019s attack with new stars Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (JSN). Special guest Bobby Peters is an NFL analyst, football coach, and published author who does extensive breakdowns of schemes and gameplans<\/a>. You can check out his work at Alert The Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show begins by unpacking Kubiak\u2019s Shanahan-style philosophy, blending zone running, play-action, and pre-snap motion for a balanced, efficient offense. Fans will learn how this approach sets the 2025 Seahawks apart from past schemes. <\/p>\n

Bang Route<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bang Route<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bread-and-butter early install Kyle Shanahan play-action route is what I call a bang route,\u201d Peters said. \u201cIn some of their their terminology, it could be called drift. I\u2019ve seen it called strike in some of theirs. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what it is, it\u2019s basically a mini dig. It\u2019s a seven-step dig from one of the receivers, usually in like a cut split. And they do a really good job of formationing it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a good example in 11 personnel. We\u2019re going to return to orbit motion the slot receiver. We\u2019re going to pull a guard going the other way and we\u2019re trying to hit the X receiver, the receiver to the field on the bang route. Now, if that\u2019s covered up, we\u2019ve got a nice little curl flat combination to the boundary with our running back checking over the ball as well. So, we we\u2019ve got we built like a full progression off of this for the quarterback. We\u2019re trying to hit that quick in-breaker over the middle. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, if you\u2019ve watched the 49ers<\/a> over the years, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo basically, a huge percentage of his production would be on on these plays on early downs, right? And if that receiver\u2019s covered via double team or via safety robbing it, you know, there\u2019s some sort of checkdown or that backside swirl route the quarterback can get to in this version.\u201d<\/p>\n

The discussion then explores roster fit, detailing how Kubiak maximizes Darnold\u2019s rhythm-based passing, capitalizes on Kupp\u2019s route-running precision, and unleashes JSN\u2019s slot versatility alongside Kupp and running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet. The episode\u2019s highlight is a dynamic play-breakdown segment, where Peters uses diagrams to dissect Kubiak\u2019s designs. <\/p>\n

From a powerful outside zone run to a play-action pass creating explosive opportunities for Kupp and JSN, these breakdowns make the X\u2019s and O\u2019s accessible and thrilling. Peters also reveals a red-zone play that could boost Seattle\u2019s scoring efficiency, addressing past challenges.<\/p>\n

Lookie Route<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lookie Route<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lookie route is that receiver, the X receiver there to the wide side of the field,\u201d Peters explained. \u201cSo in [the 49ers] offense, the lookie route is basically like a four-yard option route. The receiver is either going to break out at four yards, run a slant, or he\u2019s going to sit down if they\u2019re avoiding the defense or they\u2019re kind of bracketing him and trying to squeeze him. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat gives Cooper Kupp a three-way go and if he gets a one-on-one, that ball should be going to Cooper Kupp. Now, in this diagram, we see the defense squeezing that route. And this is actually why I wanted to share this one, too, because this is a creative red zone variation out of 12 personnel where on the backside, we\u2019re taking advantage of it with what\u2019s called a stick nod route from the wide receiver there as the second read in the quarterback\u2019s progression with the running back as the checkdown coming underneath on an angle route. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo what we\u2019re creating on the backside here is, okay, they squeeze that lookie route. Well, now we\u2019re creating a high-low on that will linebacker and the stick route, the stick nod route wins on that free safety. You see that free safety in the diagram. I show him biting down on the stick route there. So, he\u2019s going to win over the top. And I believe this was a red zone touchdown; I can\u2019t remember what week it was for San Francisco last year, but this is a neat variation of a base concept that they\u2019ve had success with over the years. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd with the addition of Cooper Kupp, I think this stuff like this just makes a lot of sense to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

To close, Peters shares why he believes this offense could rank among the NFL\u2019s top 15, with offseason acquisitions like Darnold and Kupp poised to succeed in Kubiak\u2019s scheme. <\/p>\n
