The thing that's impressed me most about Smith this year is his poise and control over the offense. Yes, his arm talent is literally top notch, those throws in the Saints game (Fant and both Lockett TDs) are throws you're only gonna count on Allen and Mahomes to make and Smith is making them on the reg. But watching his pocket presence, ability to change to the correct protections pre-snap, and calm/pocket movement post-snap is incredible. He almost never gets flustered. When he does (like Q3 during this last game in AZ), he doesn't fall into a funk. Waldron worked with him, leaned on the running game, and when it was time for Geno to shine again, he did. Led them to three straight long TDs with that last drive to put the game away (also a coming out party for Fant, that TE under flood concept... AZ could NOT deal with that). Seattle's young talent and scheme have been phenomenal, but it feels like the team is taking on Geno's attitude: calm and confident with, in his words, 'a lot of swag'. His 'I ain't write back' quote is a banger and I think it applies to the Seahawks as a whole. This isn't the LOB but dammit, they DID write back. It's a bigass check they're looking to cash too.
@@deltabot6550 The 1st half was sluggish. But other than the costly fumble going 22/26, 207 Yards, 2 TD's is pretty good especially nearly coming back from a beating early on.
The thing that* impressed me ... and even though GS plays far better than expected, there were four games where one or two more TDs by GS could have been helpful.
I appreciate your video, the graphics are helpful in understanding what is happening on the field. your commentary is straightforward and as your channel states: thinking Football. no jokes or circus act needed .
I’ve only just discovered your videos - they’re amazing and just what I needed to get to the next level of understanding. As a Brit who’s only been following the NFL (six hours every Sunday evening mind), I could really do with someone like you sat by me each week, explaining this detail to me live!! 😂👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you for the Seattle love. This team has completely turned it around. And on Sunday they’ll keep showing the improvement like they have each and every week. With the #1 rated D within the last 4 weeks.!!!
Dude, idk who the narrator is on this one but you’re legit the best commentator and narrator to ever do the damn thing when it comes to really conveying and understanding the nuances and details that go into dissecting plays and playcalling
This video earned you a subscriber. Keep up the good work. I’m a WVU fan so seeing Geno do what’s he’s doing feels great. Especially since the Seahawks brought back Bruce Irvin on the other side of the ball as well. That era of WVU sports lives on through them
While in fact both were born on September 28th, both in Tulsa, Oklahoma and both are religious fanatics, it is still a waste of the word "literally", since SL is still alive.
Geno leading the league in completion percentage is impressive. Seahawks getting better in every facet of the game week to week is impressive. This Seahawks team is impressive
I hate the Seahawks.. I'm a Niner fan BUT I'm happy Gino Smith has found a home. Seattle was very fortunate to land him and he came through big time 👍🏾
Shane Waldron's play call getting sharper every week. I'm glad Pete was being paitient with him..with strong run game, constantly attacking the defense with TE boot. I love how Shane maximize every players skill set to give opposing defense a headache
Geno was always a good QB feels like his time on the line wasnt wasted he was just watching learning defenses how to dissect them then came back destroying expectations
this video really shows how the offensive line for the Seahawks have been playing. they have been terrific Geno is on the money but the tight ends and offensive line is the best i've seen for a Seahawks team.
Videos like this are so much better at showing what QB play is really all about. Not the usual talking heads spouting garbage stats like QBR and 300 yd games. Geno's pocket presence and quick progression reads are as good as anyone's. I hope people don't think this a fluke because it's apparent that Geno is the real deal out there. He has used his time on the sideline well and Seattle would be wise to lock him up for the next 3-4 years.
The entire draft class is loaded and made a huge impact that we could see from the start with vets getting cut. It's no surprise that the team logging the most rookie snaps is having success. But for geno he's always had control passing over the middle but suffered from ptsd of interceptions. Locket and dk Metcalf has helped with that. The trust they instilled has brought geno out of that shell.
I think it’s Pete Carrolls system which is good for geno cus he can get a bigger contract next year, but I think if they teams start forcing Seattle to win with geno they aren’t gonna win much games imo. Because that offense depends on walker to gas the defense so that pa is effective and making teams respect the run.
Even though the Seahawks have lost 4 in a row it really doesn’t matter 7 wins is far better than they were expected. And Geno still had a great year regardless
He's looking great. That touch pass you highlighted really isn't a touch pass. It was still on a rope to his man. That's what he excels at and it definitely works
This guy is about as much a fan as I am. I’m already tail gating!!!! I 100% guarantee tomorrow at 0630 AM PST. I will not be awake 🍻. Go Hawks. Crush them and get after your 1ce in a lifetime chance.
I’m born and raised in Seattle and been a Seahawk my whole life and it feels so good for us to finally get our recognition we deserve, no more “yeah Seahawks are a decent team but not sure if they will hold it together” nope were here to take the other teams soul’s and rip there hearts out this year 👹💥😈👹👹💪🏻💪🏻👹👹 Geno’s getting sooooo much recognition too its amazing he definitely deserves it and more!! Videos have been flooding in about him and the Seahawks absolutely dominating and putting beautiful wins together. LETS GO HAWKS I GOT YOUR BACK FOREVER 💙 💚 💙💚💙💚💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👹👹👹
As a Tom Brady fan, I can appreciate what the Seahawks are doing this season with their new QB. Glad we beat them though. You definitely can't call this the revenge tour of all revenge tours though, that title belongs to Brady and likely always will.
For the millionth time, this is what happens when you go from a coach like Rex Ryan, to a superbowl winning head coach like Pete Carol, who made a legendary defense from 2nd and 3rd round picks, and formed an ALMOST hall of fame worthy QB from a 3rd round pick, sure Russ does suck now, but he has 9 pro bowls under his belt, and a superbowl (should have two, but we can blame our OC for that) also, we all have to realize, that the ending to superbowl 49 was not Pete's fault, it was our OC who called down and told Pete to throw the ball, or maybe it was russ who audibled so that he could win the MVP, nevertheless, it was not Pete's fault. That man does not get enough credit, and he still doesn't get credit for geno now either
You really hate to see it if you’re Russ. Making a conscious decision to go to a God awful team so you can “cook”… and then getting absolutely eviscerated in the stat sheets by the worlds greatest QB3. Geno js BALLING OUT OF HIS MIND!!! Seahawks have always been my #2/3 team so this is a beautiful season to watch
How many failed QB prospects were a victim of poor management, coaching, and offensive coordinators? Geno and Tua were both counted out, but have shown that being a talented QB isn't everything. You NEED the support and tools surrounding them. Just look at Aaron Rodgers and the Packers this year. An all time great talent that is looking below average due to bad play calling, bad o-line, and bad offensive scheme.
Geno has a beautiful deep ball, combined with the right coaching staff/system all he has to do is make smart short passes and then connect on a deep when everyone's least expecting it. I've heard Geno's a genius asshole but I think that's who you want and need at QB. Good on Carroll for unlocking these type of players, it shows how good of a coach he is and how bad the Jets organization is.
I still think there is some serious brain power on the Sea hawk sideline. Sure Geno Smith is doing all he can to succeed but does anyone think that wasn't true with every other team he played for? Wilson's most obvious failures seem to have come from thinking he was smarter or better than everyone else. While Smith works with his coaches and doesn't try to prove anything the wins will keep coming.
How many games will the Seahawks Win this Season? ⬇⬇⬇
They’re gonna win out
11 maybe 10
IDK, but I expect them to make the playoffs
12-5
13.. only loss to KC

This comment aged beyond brutally 😂
@@youthinkyouknowme5551 No it didn't. He had a meh game. It happens. You will not find any quarterback who's never had a bad game.
@@youthinkyouknowme5551 nah, Geno came back strong in the 2nd half in Munich. Hater just keep hating, Geno will keep balling.

Too Billin give a tone of Hawk love.
Man, I legit LOVE this channel
More like a reloading instead of rebuilding.

Thank you for the break down, and the deep sexy voice that makes men question themselves 😂
I love your videos. Keep up the great work. Just wondering...What software you use to draw arrows and zones?
Assorted Adobe software
I loved your video..very informative..💙💚💙💚
All of these videos should be getting more views.
This video is amazing. Really puts Geno's skills into perspective.
Elite analysis breakdown taught me more than I expected GL..
I hate the Seahawks.. I'm a Niner fan BUT I'm happy Gino Smith has found a home. Seattle was very fortunate to land him and he came through big time 👍🏾
Excellent videos Bro
Another Banger from Thinking Football, I hope Geno uses "I aint write back though" on a shirt or something
Love this dude’s story. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Nothing colder than a qb hitting a tight window then getting lit up half a second after release
This breakdown is fantastic, keep it up.
tomorrow he gets the chance to make a real statement if they win I can’t see why they won’t be tough in January
Been waiting for this one
I couldn't be more happy for the guy
I'm also a Seahawks fan so I'm happy he's doing this on our team 🤣
Shane Waldron's play call getting sharper every week. I'm glad Pete was being paitient with him..with strong run game, constantly attacking the defense with TE boot. I love how Shane maximize every players skill set to give opposing defense a headache
Great video ... I'm in !
First the Chargers, then the Giants, Geno's villain arc will be finish with the Jets on New Years!
6:14 was Tyler open? Or someone up there ready for him…

Pete knew something and that's why he didn't Wana let dk go. I see the play now Pete 😁 salute 💯

As soon as he hit them with that I didnt write back line you knew he was going off the rest of the year
Bro these are literally the plays I have in my playbook for madden. I’m the Hawks of course 🎉
im a patriots fan, but im loving this for Geno
My friend, Geno Smith

8:09 look at DK lmfaoooooo
Geno can only get better from here on out as the Seahawks aquire more talent.
The entire draft class is loaded and made a huge impact that we could see from the start with vets getting cut. It's no surprise that the team logging the most rookie snaps is having success.
But for geno he's always had control passing over the middle but suffered from ptsd of interceptions. Locket and dk Metcalf has helped with that. The trust they instilled has brought geno out of that shell.
8:12 DK takes his corner out of the play by great acting. Just as good as a block
Great video!
Thanks!
Another Geno video.... yeah I got time🤣🤣
How do you get this type of footage
I'm glad he doing good
Russ scrambled. He was running his ass off most of the time. Geno always looks rather composed. He runs, but it's not like he's running for his life.
Thats because Wilson is a little man lmao. He doesn't want to get killed by 300 lb linemen. Geno is a big guy
I think it’s Pete Carrolls system which is good for geno cus he can get a bigger contract next year, but I think if they teams start forcing Seattle to win with geno they aren’t gonna win much games imo. Because that offense depends on walker to gas the defense so that pa is effective and making teams respect the run.
Seahawk Country... Let's Ride!!! 🤣
Even though the Seahawks have lost 4 in a row it really doesn’t matter 7 wins is far better than they were expected. And Geno still had a great year regardless

Looks like it
Pete the Qb whisperer. Yes he did and now Geno and later to come Drew Lock.

no you didn't say "upgrade!" 🧢
BUCS GANG 🎉🎉😈😈🥶🥶💯💯
Seahawks would of won more games if the defense did a whole lot better. 🤷♀️
he's been playing a lot of madden. Started seeing in third person.
