Smith was “hurt” by his backup job in the NFL, but he was “excited” for Lock.
Geno Smith said it hurt that the Seattle Seahawks didn’t start himself Monday night against the Eagles in Philadelphia, but he was happy for Drew Lock, who threw the winning touchdown in the last minute to help them end their four-game losing streak.
It looks like things are still going that way. Coach Pete Carroll said on Wednesday that he was hopeful Smith would be back this week. Since then, the QB has fully engaged in both practices.
Smith said, “That was great.” “I’m so happy for Drew. It was really cool to see him at that time, as were all the guys, really.
That was a big win for us; it was a Monday Night Football game with a lot at stake against a strong team.
Throughout the game, I thought Drew played really well. I was so happy to see him finish the game so well and for all the guys to make awesome plays.
You’ll remember that night for all of your life. It was really cool to see how he dealt with everything at that time.
For the second day in a row, the Seahawks said that running back Ken Walker III (shoulder), cornerback Devon Witherspoon (hip pointer), and safety Jamal Adams (knee) would not be playing on Thursday.
Peace of mind Also, Julian Love missed practice to feed the second day in a row because his wife was expected to give birth this week, even though he played well against the Eagles and had two interceptions in the fourth quarter after taking over for Adams.
Geno Smith said it hurt that the Seattle Seahawks didn’t start him Monday night with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he was happy for Drew Lock, who threw the winning touchdown in the last minute to help them end their four-game losing streak.
Smith hurt his groin in practice on December 7 and wasn’t able to play in Seattle’s loss at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers three days later. He was limited in his activities all week.
Lock started when Smith wasn’t there and did all the first-team work before the Eagles game. This was a big reason why the Seahawks thought he would start again on Monday night.
But Smith worked out before the game just in case. The team was amazed at how good he looked. He had a “gut-wrenching” talk with Smith about that, and Smith took the news very badly.
Carroll said he felt bad about not starting Smith after the workout, but he stuck with the original plan because the team’s medical and conditioning staffs told him to. Smith did play as a backup, though.
He said, “It was hard.” “Just getting ready to play by doing everything I can, feeling like I was ready to play, and expecting to go out there along with play, and then Coach made that decision.”
It’s something we have to deal with. It was clear that it hurt me. I want to do well in that game. I want to play every chance I get, but I know that he has to make decisions for the group and for me, too, so that I don’t hurt myself too much.
Even though they were competing for their first position last summer, they have become close.
“So I had to contend with it, move on, and help the guys out there.” When I found out I couldn’t play, that was all I could think about.
Lock threw a 29-yard touchdown pass with Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 33 seconds left to cap a 10-play, 92-yard clinching drive. Smith and Lock were seen celebrating on the bench.
Smith said, “That was great.” “I’m so happy for Drew. It was really cool to see him at that time, and for the entire guys, really. That was a big win for us; it was a Monday Night Football game with a lot at stake against a strong team.
Throughout the game, I thought Drew fared really well. I was so happy to see him finish the game so well and for all the guys to make awesome plays.
