Continuing to play with confidence and great command of a new offense, Geno Smith launched several long touchdown passes to highlight the Seahawks third camp session.
, quarterback Geno Smith thinks the team still has a long way to go installing a new offense under coordinator Ryan Grubb and isn't getting the wagon ahead of the horse.
Continuing to shine and demonstrate excellent command orchestrating Grubb's offense, Smith turned in another outstanding practice on Friday, launching the ball downfield with great success all afternoon.
"It's a work in progress," Smith said of learning the offense. "You shouldn't be at your best right now. But I do feel like we're at a really good spot and like I said, we've just got to push each other every day, we've got to go in there and watch the film, clean up the mistakes we had on the field today, and take the practice field tomorrow with a vengeance and a purpose and try to get better.
Acquired in March from the Commanders, Howell's job as Smith's primary backup isn't in jeopardy, and it's still way too early to judge how he will fare with his new team. But thus far in camp, he has been pretty erratic throwing the football, often overthrowing open receivers, particularly in the red zone, while his veteran counterpart has been a steadying presence with far better accuracy in limited opportunities.
Only three days in, the Seahawks will give Howell every opportunity to find his groove, and he's at a disadvantage compared to Smith without previous relationships with any of the team's receivers. But Walker didn't sign until mid June and he seems to have better command of the offense right now, which could be a cause for concern if the gap between the two backups continues to shrink.
In Friday's practice, albeit without pads on, Morris collapsed the pocket on several occasions from the 3-tech and end spots, making himself lean to split gaps and create penetration. He also got his long 33 1/2-inch arms extended into the passing lane on one those rushes and got a piece of Smith's pass, knocking it to the ground for the incompletion.
