They discussed key aspects of the Seahawks that will be crucial to their Super Bowl chances this season, something the star receiver made sure to go into detail about the revamped offensive game plan.“I think the whole point of it is you don’t motion, you don’t do all this stuff just because people say you should do it,” Kupp explained to Kimes. “There’s gotta be a purpose behind it, there’s gotta be something you’re gaining out of it and I think that’s something that we’re learning right now, where are the places, we’re gaining intel, we’re giving ourself leverage. There’s no point going out there and moving around and having guys running around before the snap just to run around.
