Seattle Seahawks: Geno Smith
September 20, 2024
Geno Smith is thriving in a revamped Seattle offense that emphasizes spreading the field and leveraging the team's top weapons. During the 2-0 start, the Seahawks have increased their usage of 11 personnel, which has allowed Smith's best receivers to shine. Notably, D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba achieved a historic feat together, both recording over 10 catches and 100 receiving yards in the same game. This strategic shift is paying off, as the offense is averaging 6.7 yards per play when all key receivers are on the field, showcasing Smith's ability to elevate the performance of those around him.
