If Christian Haynes is to start, we should expect “growing pains” reps like this one.
On the live broadcast of the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, this throw by a pressured Geno Smith looked like a reckless fling into coverage that was lucky not to be intercepted. But we have All-22 footage that paints a much clearer picture of what happened. We can look back at this with mild discontent given Seattle scored a touchdown on this drive anyway, but it’s still a missed opportunity that will serve as a learning moment for a Seahawks rookie. The play: 2nd Quarter, 9:22 G.
When Smith releases the ball, you can see his vantage point of an open Metcalf, who got behind Christian Gonzalez. Jabrill Peppers is occupied by Jaxon Smith-Njigba in his zone, which means it’s time for another deep touchdown! Except the ball fell at least 10 yards short of where it should be. Peppers is super athletic but he’s not able to reel in a sick one-handed interception.
