Shane Steichen Drops Surprising Revelations at Combine Press Conference—What It Means for the Season Ahead

On changes moving forward after a disappointing season.

“I think the way the season started was obviously pretty special, then down the stretch obviously with some unfortunate circumstances. We gotta find ways to win ugly games. I think that’s whether it is through practice, how we practice late in the season, putting those guys in situations you know in training camp suddenly change situations, two minute drill situations. You do this throughout the season and it’s maintaining that down the stretch to put those guys into multiple situations will be a big part of that moving forward?

What problems are Offenses around the League trying to solve?

“That’s a loaded question, I think there is a lot. Obviously you go through your evaluation in the offseason. Defensively I think Defenses are doing a really good job schematically disguising coverages, multiple fronts, multiple coverages, and how you want to attack those.

I think you got to find a good job of finding indicators to do that throughout the weeks when you are game planning and obviously you go through doing your self scouting stuff this offseason. Obviously at points you are going to play this season those guys are some new coordinators and new coaches in the league and you have to try to find that stuff out.

On Tyler Warren’s impact to the Offense as a rookie and going forward.

“I think it’s huge that you can have a Tight End with his ability to run the routes and block the way he does. To get him last year in the draft the way we got him was awesome for us. What he was able to do his rookie year making the Pro Bowl was huge.

Just an elite player with elite traits. He’s an old-school throwback player, I like to call him that. Tough. Physical. Can run all the routes. At the Tight End Position it is unique that because he is inline and then flex him out wide/slot to get the matchups you want at Linebackers and Safeties. He can take advantage of that, he’s a physical presence.“

On what’s unique about Alec Pierce and what he’s seen of his development.

“I think Alec’s made huge strides in his game. Obviously he is a big home run threat for us as we know. But at the intermediate stuff the way he is coming in and out of breaks at the top of routes, the comebacks, the one on ones on the outside, running in breaking stuff. He’s just made a lot of strides in all of those areas. Even the 50-50 balls down the field, I mean he is making those 70% of the time now. He’s going up if you throw it up there he;‘s got a chance to make a play for us.

It’s been awesome to see.

I think he has a natural ability to track the ball and that’s a gift that he has as he was naturally born to be tracking the football down the field. You put it in his vicinity he’s able to rotate his body certain ways and make plays at the top.
