Unlocking the Secrets of the Seahawks Edge Rusher: Boye Mafe’s Impression of Mike Macdonald’s Coaching Style

The Seahawks edge rusher, Boye Mafe, had a strong impression of Mike Macdonald before he became his head coach. In Week Nine of the 2023 season, the Ravens hosted the Seahawks and handed them a 37-3 defeat. Mafe was puzzled by the loss, especially considering the success of Macdonald’s defense in shutting down the Seahawks’ offense.

Since then, Mafe has been gaining insight into Macdonald’s coaching style and tactics. He praised Macdonald’s deep understanding of Xs and Os and his ability to effectively utilize players to achieve success on the field. This new perspective has given Mafe a greater appreciation for Macdonald’s coaching methods and how they contribute to the team’s performance.

Under Macdonald’s coaching, Mafe saw improvement on the field as he increased his sack total from three as a rookie to nine last season. With Macdonald’s expertise and understanding of how to maximize Mafe’s potential, there is potential for even greater improvement in the upcoming 2024 season. If Macdonald can continue to unlock Mafe’s skills and utilize them effectively, the Seahawks could have a formidable edge rusher in the upcoming season.
