For eight seasons, Cooper Kupp found comfort in consistency. As a wide receiver for the Rams, Kupp thrived under the direction of head coach Sean McVay, who orchestrated the same offense year in and year out. But now, the scenery has changed for Kupp.
Trading his Rams horns for a Seahawks jersey, Kupp finds himself navigating a new landscape. The task is clear: dive deep into an unfamiliar playbook and assimilate into Klint Kubiak’s offense. Kupp acknowledges the challenge, noting, “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,”, according to the team’s website. The transition might be intense, but the veteran views it as a constructive challenge.
The process of mastering these new plays isn't just mentally demanding; it’s invigorating. “I’m excited about what we’re doing and it is fun,” Kupp shared. His enthusiasm stems partly from his love of learning, embracing the collective journey of his teammates. “Being in this place where we’re all learning together, stepping into the same place as everyone else and being able to learn together, it’s a fun place to be.”
Kubiak isn’t the only fresh face on the Seahawks; the team has welcomed quarterback Sam Darnold. This influx of new personnel means Kupp isn’t alone in the adjustment phase. Together, they aim to mold raw strategies into polished plays by summer's end.
