out who will be the successor to Russell Wilson Geno. Smith
has had the lead for all of the offseason program and training
camp and he started on Saturday night. Up the road in
Pittsburgh long
trip for the Seattle Seahawks, here's Pete Carroll. After he
got back home, talking about his two, quarterbacks Geno
Smith and Drew lock. As it turned out. Both guys head,
that was a good outing because they had a lot of pressure on
them, you know, to have
to get things. Done. We're coming from behind and and
drives to the, you know, to go ahead and all that kind of
stuff that was really
and I'm anxious to see how it looks
when we break it down. But those were that's the kind of
options. We're looking forward to just see how the guys are
doing Red Zone stuff. Third, Victor, don't think we were
flying for 11:00 or something like that, you know. So you
guys came through a little bit there too.
I may have misspoken given that funky logo on the podium that
maybe the a crash or logo, which means that may have
happened immediately after the game. Either way,
both quarterbacks did look good.
And and I think if it's even remotely close, I think we're
on the same page or if it's remotely close. Its Geno. Smith
Pete Carroll wants to win
especially week 14 weeks from tonight when Russell Wilson in
the Broncos, go to Seattle, I think Pete Carroll would love
nothing more than to beat Russell Wilson with his former
back up. What? They're both talented.
There they are. That's one thing. You see there, they got
physical gifts, they can make every throw they can escape out
of the pocket and also
there's that ability.
I do think it's going to go back. I'm with you Mike. Yes
I do think Gino is the guy that's, you know, probably
the leader here because he's been there. There's history. He
understands how Pete Carroll wants to play
right Drew lock. Did have the turnover where that, you know,
even though it wasn't his fault,
you know, that still go away. He turns over every now and
then, even though you got hit from behind, And and it wasn't
really his fault. You know, he can't block and do that all
the time. And you know, again
with this to you got to evaluate the situation, it
wasn't Apples to Apples, and they both played really good.
Gino in my opinion was in the tougher situation.
Gino had to play against a lot of starters
on the Pittsburgh defense. So people got to look at that too
and we can evaluate maybe when the roles are reversed next game
but Gino got to play with you know, other than cam Hawarden
and TJ W he had Play the Pittsburgh defense, mi
mi Jack and, and Devin Bush. And
the secondary guys. Other than mink of Fitzpatrick were all
out there and then he didn't have, you know, D DK Metcalf
or lock it. So life was a little harder for him. He hung
in there and got his rhythm and made some nice plays. And then
when Drew lock got in, now you can say what you want about
Drew lock and we'll see if he can continue
to be a good quarterback and be trustworthy. But his talent is
another guy just pops off the screen. The It is easy as he
can throw the football. And again he's a big and athletic
to
it's going to be interesting and it's not every day you get
to guys where you go. Whoa, they both got strong arms. Whoa
they both can get out of you know trouble and I think
ultimately it will be the trust refactor. Like you brought up
Mike that that ultimately wins Gino unless something you know
dramatic happens
and I feel like it's inevitable in a case like this where you
have two guys that are that close at some point you're
going to see both of them
either because of injury
or because the Team just says, yeah, it's sputters out. We got
to try to reinvigorate our season and we have to go with
the other guy, right? And I feel like
if that's the reality,
it really is better to let the incumbent try
to hold on to the job as long as he can. And then once we know
once, yeah, right
everybody will kind of know the exact time to turn the page to
the other guy, and I think it's easier to go Smith to
lock/unlock to Smith.
I would agree with that, too. I think, if it's
if it's the way you're talking about,
And you throw lock out there
and it becomes a little bit. Okay, now, there are two and
four or one in three, and he's thrown some bad interceptions
to me that just gonna
bring more issues to the organization where they're just
going to go. Well, I mean, what do you expect? What are you
guys idiots, trulock? He's always turning the ball over
and doing things like this. So
I'm with you in that aspect, you know, knows the offense
a little bit better.
He seems to know how to take care of the football, Seattle
style, the way we saw last. Last year and of course,
we saw him. He can push the ball down the field and
the other night, I mean, he made some amazing escapes when he
had pressure on him.
Russell Wilson ich like they're just to get out of trouble and
keep the offense in some good situations.
