Seahawks first-team offense and defense shine in Friday’s mock game
. In the words of Corbin Smith, Geno Smith looked like he is ready to pick up where left off:
Picking up from where he left off winning Comeback Player of the Year last season, Smith promptly marched Seattle’s first-team offense downfield with a pair of explosive passes. First, after narrowly missing Metcalf on a downfield bomb just one snap prior, he connected with the star receiver on a post route after he sprinted past safety Coby Bryant for a 40-plus yard completion.
Smith also noted how efficient the first team defense was, particularly against the run. Bobby Wagner took the field once again, teaming up with Devin Bush and Dre’Mont Jones to provide an encouraging sneak preview of some improvement over 2022. Corbin Smith noted their performance, particularly, in shutting down the team’s backup running backs while Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet remain sidelined. Smith also noted how well Dre’Mont Jones has been playing throughout camp thus far.
It’s only August 4, so it remains to be seen how much better, if at all, the Seahawks will be at defending the run compared to a year ago. But continuing to show encouraging signs of improvement with a new cast of characters along the defensive line and at linebacker, they shut down Kenny McIntosh, Bryant Koback, and company, dominating the line of scrimmage throughout the mock game.
Officially, these are the offensive stats from the mock game. Note: att/comp are backwards for the QBs.
