Bumpus: Seahawks OC Grubb brings plenty to like in run game
When you think of the offense new Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb ran during his two years with the Washington Huskies, you immediately point to the passing game.

The Huskies were the No. 1 passing attack in both 2022 and 2023 while throwing the ball more than 60% of the time with Grubb calling the plays.
It’s doubtful the Seahawks will be passing at that high of a clip in 2024, and according to former NFL receiver Michael Bumpus, that’s especially a good thing as Grubb offers a lot to like in the running game.
“When you think of Grubb’s offense, you don’t think of what he does in the run game,” Bumpus said during Friday’s Bump and Stacy on Seattle Sports.
When diving into the film of Washington’s offense the last two years, Bumpus pointed out that the Huskies pulled their guards and tackles quite a bit in the run game on counter looks.
“And those counter looks, it freezes the linebackers and the safeties when they get their eyes in the backfield,” he said. “And then he combines the counter looks when you’re pulling two guys – a guard and a tackle, maybe even a tight end to kick out that (defensive) end – and get up to the second level which your guard — he puts the jet sweep behind it.
“He does a lot of the misdirection that we love about the Rams and the 49ers.”
Bumpus also likes that Grubb will run the same types of plays out of different formations, whether it’s in the run or pass game.
“He does a great job of understanding how to expand the defense and create that space and give you the same play out of multiple looks,” Bumpus said. “(UW quarterback Michael Penix Jr.) looked really coached up in this scheme. (Grubb) does a good job with the running backs and the tight ends. That’s why I look at the tight end group, too, and I go, ‘How are you going to use these guys?’ because there are times where you come out there in 12 personnel and 13 personnel with the University of Washington and you’re using the tight ends in the blocking scheme and now you’re releasing a tight end up the middle, you’re swinging it back to the left.”
“The more I look at this offense, the more I see a guy who understands space,” Bump later said. “And of course he does. He’s an NFL offensive coordinator now. But don’t just fall in love with the pass game. The way he dresses up the run game and get these offensive linemen and tight ends involved, it’s fun to watch and it’s impressive.”

SEATTLE (AP) — Sarah Wozniewicz gave Ottawa the lead, rookie Peyton Hemp scored her first goal and Gwyneth Philips posted her first shutout of the season as the Charge blanked Seattle 2-0 on Sunday despite the return of Torrent’s captain Hilary Knight.
Ottawa (6-7-1-9) moved two points in front of the Toronto Sceptres for the fourth and final playoff spot with a match in hand and seven remaining in the regular season.
Seattle Torrent captain, Olympic champion Hilary Knight activated from injured reserve
Wozniewicz was in the right place to bang in a deflection after a shot by Kathryn Reilly hit the skate of a Seattle defender in front of the net at the 9:09 mark of the first period.
Hemp gave the Charge a 2-0 lead when she scored with 1:23 left in the second period. Hemp collected six assists through her first 22 matches.
Seattle began the third period on a two-minute power play after Ottawa forward Brianne Jenner was called for interference in the final second of the second. But Philips was up to the task, finishing with 25 saves.
Corinne Schroeder totaled 27 saves for Seattle (6-1-2-14). She saved a penalty shot by Jenner with 13:58 left to play.
Ottawa came in with a league-high 14 power-play goals but went 0 for 3 against Seattle. The Torrent came up empty on six tries with an extra skater.
Seattle activated Knight from long-term injured reserve before the match. Knight had three goals and seven assists in 14 games before sustaining an injury at the Winter Olympics.
The Charge beat the Torrent for a third straight time following a 4-1 loss in Seattle on Dec. 17.
Ottawa had been the only team without a regulation victory away from its primary home this season.

COUNTDOWN: Five weeks until you can help West Seattle Food Bank ‘Nourish & Flourish.’ Special guest revealed!
Five weeks from tonight – on Saturday, May 2 – you can help the West Seattle Food Bank “Nourish and Flourish” by being part of its annual dinneer and auction, as an attendee and/or sponsor. This week, a special guest was revealed – here’s the WSFB announcement:
The West Seattle Food Bank (WSFB) is pleased to announce that Seattle comedian Scott Losse will join this year’s Nourish & Flourish gala as a special guest, bringing humor and heart to an evening dedicated to community, compassion, and impact.
Losse — recently featured as an “Undisputable Champion of Comedy” in The Stranger — is known for his sharp, relatable takes on life in the Pacific Northwest and his ability to connect audiences through both humor and honesty.
At Nourish & Flourish, Losse will provide a moment of levity during the program, helping to balance the evening’s powerful stories of need and resilience with laughter—an essential ingredient in bringing communities together.
“This event is about nourishing hope,” said Robbin Peterson, Development Director at West Seattle Food Bank. “Scott’s ability to help people laugh, even in challenging times, reflects exactly what community looks like— showing up for one another with both compassion and joy.”
Losse’s connection to West Seattle Food Bank is deeply personal. His wife Janelle was inspired to pursue a career in social services and nonprofit work after volunteering as a child alongside her grandmother — who was one of WSFB’s volunteers in the early years of the food bank.
“That legacy of service — passed from one generation to the next — is exactly what we see every day at the food bank,” Peterson added. “It’s neighbors helping neighbors, steadfastly across time.”
Nourish & Flourish will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 4105 in SODO, bringing together 300 community members for an evening of storytelling, fundraising, and celebration. Proceeds support WSFB’s vital programs, including food access, housing stability, and essential services for thousands of neighbors across West Seattle.
In 2025 alone, West Seattle Food Bank distributed more than 2.25 million pounds of food, served over 23,000 individuals, and helped keep hundreds of families housed.
