Ridin' with Geno

Seattle Seahawks
Geno Smith has been on fire to start Seahawks training camp. The gap between Seattle's starter and QB2 Sam Howell was apparent during the spring, and it's widened over the first three practices. In addition to Smith's trademark accuracy, his decision-making, timing and grasp of the line of scrimmage have stood out as he's operated new coordinator Ryan Grubb's offense. Smith hit DK Metcalf for several big plays on Friday, including an early touchdown on a deep throw over cornerback Tre Brown.
"I think he looks so focused this year," defensive tackle Jarran Reed said of Smith, who's entering what may be a make-or-break third season as Seattle's starter. "His timing is good. His reads are good. Everything he's doing right now is elite. I think he's on an elite level right now. I'm so excited to see what our offense has to bring this year."
Howell, acquired in a March trade with the Commanders, has struggled to get the ball out on time, find open receivers and throw with precision. There is no competition for the starting job, and nothing that the 23-year-old Howell has shown so far suggests there should be. -- Brady Henderson
