Geno's night,
he did. Okay
you know we needed to come through, we need to help
a little bit you know and then make the place around them to
of and we missed a block on the screen and we missed the third
down conversion and there's another one in there,
he's running the show.
Well, he's doing okay you know get got rid of the
guy out of the pocket, you know, when he needed to and and
to a couple really good balls that could have been converted.
We got to come through for me. A receiver is going to make
the place for him. And
you know what? We need to see
C
DK and lock in the fellas out there. You know, we're going to
count on DK and lock and Marquis has got a chance to
help us and and and that's Chris got a chance. This was
his chance to come back this week. We need those guys to
come through
if he's going to be good. Titans did a nice job. Really
big play by Cole gobies night. So there's some bright spots.
He Carolina Performance Geno, Smith completed 10 of 18 passes
for 112 yards. A couple of drops no points in five drives
and Geno. Smith returned from halftime with an ice bag on his
knee Pete, Carroll said that
Geno Smith banged, his knee could have gone back in. If need be,
I've already seen some voices in Seattle, arguing that Drew
lock. Improved, his status on the depth chart by not playing
last night because Gino was just uninspiring. But like Pete
Carroll said,
If he's running the offense and other guys aren't doing their
jobs, it, drags down the quarterback and it makes it
look like the quarterback failed. But if everybody else
is doing what they're supposed to do,
the quarterback,
looks like he's Thrive. So that's really it's. And I think
one of the realities of preseason
when you don't play the whole game, you don't get into a flow
of the game. You don't have adjustments. You don't see what
God does in crunch time. You don't see how a team overcomes
adversity.
It really is a weird existence and he had
limited time, Tyler Lockett DK, Metcalf who weren't supposed to
play ended up playing three snaps and became a calf was
pretending to be upset about it when he was interviewed at
halftime or not at halftime, but on the sideline. So
I don't know what to make of any of it. I still think that
be Carol wants Geno Smith to be the weak one starter, and
I think he will open
Yeah, I do to Mike and it was really a weird first half for
the Seahawks because they had a run of 33 yards. They had
passes of 29 and 41 and had no points. They did miss a field
goal, they had more yards
than the Bears had and they trailed at halftime, so it was
a weird game, I think for the Seahawks and you know, we were
debating on the PFT string earlier this week about
the Seahawks. And I just think the two teams that
we saw yesterday going to be two of the worst teams
in the NFL this Season, I don't know that it matters who starts
for them at quarterback. I think, in fact, the more games
they lose is probably better for the Seahawks simply because
you don't want to win that.
Be in that 789 range, Mike, and not getting the postseason and
you don't have a good draft position. I mean, if you're
going to be mediocre, you need to be really bad so that you
get one of those higher picks and you get one of those
quarterbacks who's
coming out next year and you start over and
in Rebuilding this team. So it might be better for them
in the long term to have one of those Seasons when they're just
not very good and get that higher pick and get
the quarterback but you know what if Geno Smith starts and plays
well and this team does, well then then they have their
quarterback. So he's going
to get his opportunity. I think, I think he will start
Week 1. I mean, just based on what Pete Carroll has said all
along. Now about, he's our number one guy, he's in
the lead, he knows this offense better than Drew locked.
As a now, with lockout with covid, I just think Gina's
going to be there guy and week. One for a moment or two there.
I think Stephen Ross. If he's listening and good morning
Steven. How are you? I think if he's listening he's saying
that's all
I was doing. That's all I was trying to do. I was just
accepting the fact that if we're not going to be very
good.
What's the point of wind? That's when in seven games?
Let's go ahead and win none and get the first overall pick in
the draft. I disagree with you. I think the Seahawks are going
to be better than people realize and I think the fact
that they're being written off is going to play to their
advantage. They've
I've always been competitive under Pete, Carroll and I think
he's determined this year to prove that he can do it without
Russell Wilson. We saw nine snaps last night from Justin
Fields, the Bears
quarterback.
I'd like some pot. That's it's impossible to really get a feel
for where guy is
and I don't know that we're going to until week 11 San
Francisco comes to town when the game counts.
You know, all I got out of that was as much as they rolled him
out. Is they don't trust their offensive line and I wouldn't
trust that either and they didn't want Justin fields to
take any hits. So he was rolling out of that pocket
a lot and I think we're going to see that a lot this season
Mike. I feel kind of feel sorry for him because that that
offensive line is just not very good.
And the problem when you roll out like that you limit
yourself to two options, one short, and one deeper down
the field. Look, we've seen in the last couple of plays. You're
taking away half the field. When you do that.
But if that's the only way that your guy is going to be able to
have any time whatsoever to do anything, so be it. And that's
very different from Patrick Mahomes starting in the pocket
and then breaking one way or the other
because he has to, or he sees an opportunity
and with Mahomes.
Even if he's on the left side, the ball can end up over here
for these designed rollouts and you can just tell, by the way,
it's happening. That's the way the play has been drawn up.
You're cutting the field in half and you're making it
harder to operate your offense by the way. A Damian Lewis
Seahawks offensive lineman was carted off with an ankle
injury. They put an air
cast on him. It looked bad.
Carol said after the game he was very, very fortunate to
avoid major injury x-rays negative.
