While many were stunned by Geno Smith's rebirth, former Seahawks assistant Dave Canales knew he always had the talent to thrive when granted the opportunity.
whether he has received enough attention for his efforts outside of the Pacific Northwest, few players have penned a better story than Geno Smith has over the past two seasons since taking over for Russell Wilson as the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback.
Speaking with host Peter Schrager on “The Season with Peter Schrager” podcast, Canales reflected on his rapid rise from quarterback coach to head coach, including his final season in Seattle when he helped Smith. Two years later, while most may not have seen the veteran's unexpected rebirth coming, he saw enough working with him as an understudy to Wilson for a couple years that he wasn't surprised by Smith's immense success.
Despite coming up just short, Smith impressed by nearly pulling off a comeback against the Rams, throwing a touchdown pass to DK Metcalf and leading a second field goal drive. Starting the next three games, he threw four touchdowns and just one interception, earning the trust of former coach Pete Carroll and his staff.
