Geno Smith is entering his fifth year with the Seahawks and third as their starting quarterback, but a lot has changed this offseason.
New head coach Mike Macdonald and new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb are bringing in a different system, and after the start of Organized Team Activities, Smith said it’s the right offense for him.
“Very impressed,” Smith said. “The things he did in college, he has a great track record, and just being part of the system, being able to learn from it, the type of guy he is, the type of man he is, the type of coach that he is. , I think great things will come for us. Coach Grubb is doing a great job of being demanding, making sure the guys are studying and on point and knowing their assignments, but also giving the guys some grace. , a new offense, and guys are going to mess things up, and that’s not necessarily a terrible thing. Grubb is doing a great job and it’s our job to bring the plays to life and make everything look good.
Grubb has never coached in the NFL before, and Smith noted that rookie tight end Jack Westover, who played for Grubb in Washington the past two seasons, is the only player on the team who has played in Grubb’s offense before. But Smith said he’s a natural fit in Grubb’s offense.
“I’m a drop-back passer,” Smith said. “I feel like this is a throwback offense.”
