Under head coach Mike Macdonald, Geno Smith is aware that he will be a key player in leading the Seattle Seahawks into a new era.
At the beginning of training camp, Smith, who usually has an optimistic outlook, talked about the change from Pete Carroll to Macdonald.
During an interview with Taylor Bisciotti of the NFL Network, Smith discussed his leadership responsibilities and his bond with his new head coach.
“It’s been awesome,” Smith said. “Coach [Mike] Macdonald, he’s the best, man. He’s putting his stamp on the team. We’re flying around. We are working, we are getting the job done that we need to get done. We have got to win for him. I think everyone has bought in. We are ready to go out there and put on a show.”
To Smith’s credit, he worked with several of his top targets throughout the offseason. A video surfaced of him firing a perfect deep ball to second-year wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the duo worked on routes together earlier in the month.
With some expecting Seattle to turn to the much younger Sam Howell if things go south, Smith knows 2024 will be a pivotal season for his career.
