Video: Darrell Bevell says no ‘big changes’ for Seahawks offense

In the video above, Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell talks to the media Wednesday about how the offense is planning to work past its slow start.

Below are additional quotes from his availability.

(On the difficulties of Jimmy Graham only having one catch vs. Green Bay) “Well there’s a lot of things that go into it, there’s plays where he’s targeted. There’s plays where he’s the primary target, and the ball goes elsewhere. Guys do different things in coverage, the quarterback looks a different way, protection breaks down and can’t hang on to it long enough, so there’s so many things. I’m not just going to sit here and point out one thing. Is there an emphasis to try to get Jimmy the ball? We want Jimmy involved in our offense. There’s no question about it. We want him to make catches, we know that he’ll do great things for us. But there’s also other guys that do great things for us as well. Our wideouts outside, we got four or five guys that we’re rotating. We got Marshawn [Lynch], got Fred Jackson comes in makes a big play for us, Luke Willson makes some great catches for us as well. So it’s not something that you just going to go out there and force every ball to him, but we definitely want him to have more of an impact.”

(On improvements to the pass protection in Week 2) “We didn’t play the Rams and that front 7. I think that they’re an outstanding front 7 and a great group. I think the biggest thing to talk about, number one, is communication. We were crisp, we were clean with our communication. The guys held up fine in their matchups. I think the communication is what really helps. If we’re all on the same page, and even if we’re wrong, we can handle it because the quarterback knows if we’re protecting here, then this is where my issues are.”

(On Marshawn Lynch) “I see him doing his job, I see him competing hard. The style of runs that he has, he’s fighting and scratching for every yard, so I don’t see any difference in that. He’s out there running routes, I see him running full speed. I see him engaged in the game, but we can clean up so many things and that’s what we’re out here cleaning up.”
