Cooper Kupp reveals what Seahawks must get right with pre-snap motion

Cooper Kupp, the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, is preparing for the upcoming NFL season, which marks his 10th year in the league and his second with the Seahawks. Kupp, a full-time starter, has been instrumental in the team's success, helping them win Super Bowl 60. During an interview with ESPN’s NFL reporter Mina Kimes, Kupp discussed the revamped offensive game plan that has been implemented by the Seahawks.

According to Kupp, the purpose of the new pre-snap motion is to provide the team with intelligence and leverage, rather than simply following the trends set by others. He emphasized that there must be a tangible benefit to the motion, and that the team has been diligent in identifying the most effective areas for improvement. As the reigning champions, the Seahawks are expected to face significant pressure in their title defense, but Kupp remains optimistic about the team's chances of success.

The Seahawks aim to build upon their impressive 14-3 record from the previous season and return to the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 2018-2020. They also hope to become the first NFC team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the 1993 Dallas Cowboys. The Seahawks will open their season at home, facing the New England Patriots in a rematch of last year's Super Bowl on September 9 at 8:20 p.m. ET.
