Is Geno Smith the Reason the

[@Praying_Mantis3]

Crazy how all of the blame is on geno or the offensive coordinator. None of the blame is on the 30th rank O-line. For a position group that is dependent on having continuity, it should be known that the seahawks had a lot of turnover in that position group. Can you name another position group that had their leader retire mid season? The seahawks also had one of the least efficient run games in the NFL. But sure chalk it all up to Geno's picks as the main reason, don't mention that he has the o-line that gives up the second most pressures.

[@tjdeuceosix]

@@Praying_Mantis3 basically the same o line produced a top 3rd of the league Offense the prior 2 seasons. Laumea was probably even an upgrade from Bradford. Grubb did not call a good enough offense to hide o line deficiencies. Shane Waldron was a better OC than he was. That's not even opinion, it's just fact.

[@Praying_Mantis3]

@ I’m not saying that he doesn’t deserve some of the blame pie but we knew going into this that Grubb didn’t have much play calling experience let alone NFL play calling experience. Also George Fant, Michael Jerell, Christian Haynes, Laken Tomlinson, and Connor Williams weren’t on the team last year. The only starters who were on the team last year are Abe Lucas, Anthony Bradford, Olu Oluwatimi and Charles Cross of which only Cross played the whole year. Abe being injured most of the year, Bradford being in rotation most of the year and then getting benched for lamea and Olu being on the bench until Connor Williams retired. I would not call that continuity.

[@tjdeuceosix]

@Praying_Mantis3 the quality of play of the line was the same. In fact, Lucas's return and Laumea's ascension to starter probably had them as a better quality of o line. Tomlinson and Lewis are a wash and Brown and Williams/Olu Olu are also a wash.

[@Praying_Mantis3]

​@@tjdeuceosix quality of play being the same is a different argument than the players being the same. Ranking-wise they were about the same. Again not saying Grubb doesn't deserve blame, but if we're talking quality/talent this O-line was ranked only above the Patriots. Being slightly better than an O-line that people were afraid to start a rookie behind does not give me much confidence. That being said i would be okay with getting a new OC as long as we're not ignoring the O-line and thinking the new OC is going to fix all of the issues without investing anything into it.

[@tjdeuceosix]

@Praying_Mantis3 you got me on semantics. My fault for not saying "quality of o line" in my original reply. Bottom line is, there are ways for an OC to help his o line. Even Shane Waldron, who JSN couldn't find one good thing to say about him when asked by multiple Bears podcasts/media outlets, and then got fired mid season, was able to hide some of these o line problems to the tune of a top 3rd of the league Offense.

Its undeniable Geno's pick six vs the Rams cost us that game and in the end, tallying up the wins and losses all season, it adds up and without that pick six, we'd be playing for the playoff spot this week.

Only issue with this is what about the picks teams have dropped. It evens out. Way too many picks no matter how it's sliced up

[@DatAlaskan]

@@hawkszonerundownGeno threw 4 picks that should’ve been INTs that were dropped. His pass catchers dropped/tipped 4 actual picks. So what are we doing here? Are we going to play this game with every QB because Stafford threw 4 should be picks against Arizona last week This year Geno’s INT% is 2.7, that is 14th out of 46 among QB with 100+ attempts. For TWP%, Geno sits at 2.7%. That is 28th out 46 QBs. So he’s not consistently placing the ball in harms way in the aggregate given the volume he’s passing for. And even going back through his INTs and dropped INTs, you walk away with maybe 11 truly on Geno out of the 25 and that’s being liberal with the blame pie. Not to mention he’s also 4th in pressure rate and 3rd in quick pressures. So the only conclusion you can actually come to is that he’s been absurdly unlucky in an offense that is solely driven by him as he’s assailed behind a porous IOL and at one point the worst RT situation in the league.

Your out of your mind if you don't think our guards and Conner Williams were the problem. Olu has been pretty good. It seems like 85% of the time K9 got the ball, there was a defensive lineman 3 yards into the backfield. Did you not see the million times Geno had pressure in his face and had nowhere to scramble. K9 and Geno were killed by the swinging gates we have at guard. Laumea seems OK. Why havent they been able to coach up Christian Haynes. I just read his draft profile. He had an over all grade of 86. Bradford is consistent at 3 things. Going offside, holding and missed blocks. Salk i understand its your job to get people riled up. Blamming Geno is beneath you. Did he make mistakes yes. Do you think Sam Darnold or Baker Myfield would have done better. What about the other three QBs in our division. I dont think any of them would have done better than Geno. Maybe Purdy because he does move well. Even then thats playing behind a far better line. Laken Thomlasin will not play in the NFL again, or let's say start. Someone may sign him at the NFL minimum to back up. Also, it's obvious you have never played a high level sport on a bad team. During the course of the year, you can get sped up because you have been hit so often. Your NFL host and Chargers color guy Daniel something says at least 7 of Geno's picks were not his fault. He did have 3 head scratching endzone picks. He is much better than you think.

Does anyone compare the pic stats of other QB's as a percentage of total pass attempts? I think Geno throws more than most other QB's, which might seem to produce more pics. Right? Am I right? If that is the case, then all the Geno Haters need to STHU. Clearly, the O-line needs improvement. If they played just 20% better on just 20% more plays, we would be contenders all day long. There would be fewer pics, more running success, and certainly more passing success. This is a situation in most teams: Salaries go to star players so the seats will be full and they can sell more $100,000 pickup trucks. O-lines are neglected in high school and college, and then are expected to be The Great Wall in the pros. Ain't gonna happen unless coaching the boring part starts getting attention. This deficit started happening 20 years ago, and now there's no decent line coaches around. Oh, but we LOVE those Star D guys, tho.

Where is Tom Cable? Seattle needs to find him and hire him to coach the O-Line. Cable can't do worse than what Seattle has right now.

Not only does Geno have horrible INT stats, but he also holds onto the ball way too long, and has bad pocket presence not due to their offensive line. Geno is not a leader, or dependable, he has always been a backup bridge QB.

[@dontsupportrats4089]

Stats say Geno doesn't hold the ball to long. In fact stats say Geno is 31st in time before first contact with an average of 1.5 seconds. (last year he averaged 1.3 seconds 31st in the league with only Sam Howell having 1.2 seconds) That is a DIRECT offensive line production stat. For comparison, Mahomes has an average of 2.8 seconds. League average is 2.6 seconds. Our O line is really really really bad, 30th or 31st in the league depending on the stat block used. When you don't understand what you are watching, you blame the wrong people. Just like people were saying our D line was bad against the run, but in reality it was the linebackers not filling gaps like they should. Changed them out and our D looked totally different. Blame the right people with their actual mistakes.

⁠@@dontsupportrats4089 Lmao! You’ve provided a completely meaningless argument. It’s not the offensive line, or him being pressured at all is why the way he is.

@ Hmmm, I don’t agree with that but I wouldn’t argue with you about it. IMO Smith is not nearly as good as either of them. He’s OK, he’s just not a QB that adds wins to a team. IMO the tops QBs are worth a game or two themselves a year, Smith isn’t one of those.

@CharlieTWilbury Goff had a 5 interception game against the Texans and they won the game anyway. Good teams lift up their quarterbacks. Kind of like Russell Wilson throwing 4 picks in the NFC Championship game vs Green Bay and the Seahawks advancing to the Superbowl anyway. John Elway is probably one of the 5 best quarterbacks all time but would have never won a Superbowl without that run game and a good defense.

A lot of people are angry about the LA Rams pick 6 for 103 yards indeed that was horrible but the one that pissed me off the most was during the Green Bay on the first drive the Seahawks have one receiver who really is the best for the back of the end zone in the corner pass that receiver is Metcalf. It seemed like that set the tone for the whole game and I think Ryan Grubb they should give him a chance and if he is just as bad as he still is by mid-season next year then he goes he knows I say that because he knows he has to balance out the plays on the field. Play all things cannot pass 75% of the time and then expect to make big running plays when it is so obvious they have to run you have to mix it up and you cannot give up on the run. The offensive line and the running back are the key to winning games in Seattle now has the three best running backs I think in the league well some of the best. And I think they could trade up for Walker and get some good trades for him for a tight end and a good offensive linemen. The Seahawks have got to either refine or find some kind of tight who can rank with the best of them. Problem with Geno Smith is he's not finding the open are wide open receivers. If you look at most of the plays that he's thrown interceptions are a bad ball there was always a receiver open that he did not throw to Gino does not have that quick response to find that open receiver .

As long as we are 31st in time before first contact , we know there are zero QB's that can operate under those conditions. And don't think Schneider will draft a QB, he's only drafted 2 in 14 years.

Geno Smith has failed to make the playoffs two years in a row with falling stats since 2022. He is past his prime and not a playoff quarterback, don't even think Super Bowl contender.

[@evanvargas3170]

Threw 15 picks but at least half of them are due to dropped passes, WRs not running the correct routes, instant pressure allowing him to get hit as he was throwing ect.

[@jeffreymullican2467]

How about Mark Brunell as OC? Trade Geno and Dk for Trevor Lawrence?

[@factvidzent7170]

When GENO did have time to throw half the time the receivers were getting locked down let’s be honest go back and look at this past seasons games so what’s the problem?

[@seanzibonanzi64]

The only thing Geno is holding back on the Seahawks currently is Sam Howell and thank God for that. Seahawks won't win a Superbowl with Geno but let's not act like his production is easily replaceable because it's not. Geno is above league average, unless there's a viable alternative in the wings, we have bigger fish to fry.

[@thadlane3978]

The title alone of this title is as sad as Salk.

[@MaverickJohnson007]

To be fair it's Grubs first year in the NFL but it's insane to ask a QB to throw the ball 40 times a game with a bad Offensive line especially when he's been bad in the redzone all season. It's not a simple as just saying It's all Grubs fault. It's all the Oline fault. It's all Genos fault. This thing isn't going to be fixed just by changing one of these variables it needs to be changed on multiple fronts if they're going to get way better.

[@EricHaughey-USMC]

Our line is hot dumpster juice , this is not complicated

[@MrPowderEater]

Gino’s vision is great with an open field when it gets tightened down in the red zone. His vision isn’t as great. Draft a guy to get behind him and learn the system.

[@donttrip1818]

Mahomes threw 11 josh allen throws a lot of picks so are they not winning qbs?

Yeah man Josh Allen threw 6 interceptions. You call that a lot? Geno has 15 and many were in the red zone.

[@Sev7nVII]

@njreal8233 12 since 02 and no their content is not superb. Here is why. Geno is better than most qbs. play calls are questionable this year, which doesn't help the OL. The plays take way too long to develop drop passes don't help. Conner Williams was a big fail. They should have had Olu out there from the beginning. New coaching staff across the board is not easy. We will be a better team next season. GO HAWKS!

No, I don't believe he is holding the Seahawks back. Yes, I do believe he has a wildcard/divisional round ceiling (and that's okay).

He just isn't that dude,you can't make the mistakes he does,can't put it all on the o-line. They have to strike gold in the draft. Good thing is there young mostly,and good young players! Go get a qb in the draft John.

Backups don't win 9-10 games.

[@bigamigo4863]

No, Geno isn't the type of player to put an entire offense on his shoulders and win. Bad OL, can't run the ball, can't pass block well and predictable play calling is a recipe for disaster. That's too much to ask of 95% of quarterbacks in the league.

[@dreamwireless8513]

4000 yards 70 percent completion percentage while being sacked almost 50 times with 30th ranked rush attack and 2nd lowest design run calls. Low play action calls. Multiple tipped ints and dk runnin wrong route. Yeah all on geno. We are literally playin hero ball every drive which is not winning formula. Geno is solid QB but not Joe Burrow who can carry offense. We need better oline play, creative quck passin/play action game. Look ay lions and how they make it easy for Goff.

[@3Gunzdeep]

Brock puts too much on the statistics. Statistics are just numbers how about the one statistic counts wins and losses. And Geno has a losing record since he took over at Lumen field

[@kevinoconnell9056]

So with all that said, whats hour solution Salk

Salk is tripping. We can’t run the ball, thus we can’t throw it.

[@rig2037]

No. Geno is good enough to get the job done. JOHN SCHNEIDER is holding the SEAHAWKS back every year he FAILS to draft GOOD OFFENSIVE LINEMEN. Our OLINE was a JOKE most of the season. Also RYAN SCRUBB and his braindead playcalling on offense RUINED THE SEASON.. WE COULDNT SCORE IF WE WANTED TO THIS YEAR. the Defense was GREAT ENOUGH for MOST games this year. Geno COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER, HE LOOKED BAD THIS YEAR BUT IT WASNT HIS FAULT ENTIRELY. CALL BETTER PLAYS AND PROTECT YOUR QB HOW ABOUT THAT SCHNEIDER??? GET RID OF RYAN GRUBB AND GET A REAL NFL PRO CALIBER OFFENSIVE PLAYCALLER!!! GRUBB BELONGS IN COLLEGE

[@edmolash3401]

Seahawks have one 2024 pro bowl player. They are a mediocre team because they have a mediocre roster - top to bottom.

[@thatoneblackkid5297]

Lol that literally means nothing. Leo Williams should’ve been a pro bowler. And they easily could’ve had 3 or 4 more on defense but only so many can make the pro bowl

[@AxelMTG]

Vikings and Lions both have average quarterbacks (although I personally believe Geno is meaningfully better than Darnold and Goff) and they are fighting for first in the conference this weekend. One of them is probably going to a Superbowl this year. How good your qb is does not decide whether you go to the superbowl. Your team decides whether you go to the superbowl. I also don't think Salk is being serious. I think he is trying to engagement bait people like me and trying to give the broadcast more than one opinion on Geno.

[@catbreath8361]

You can't be serious. Geno, Better than Darnold and Goff? Don't make me laugh.

[@AxelMTG]

@@catbreath8361 They suck under pressure. Geno has carried the team so many times when the defense isn't performing and he is under pressure every snap. There is a reason Mike MacDonald said Geno is why they have as many wins as they do. Most film guys agree with Mike.

[@Praying_Mantis3]

@@catbreath8361 all things even I’d say so. Both Goff and Darnold have top 10 O-lines with top 10 run games, possibly top 5 for both when healthy and both have great weapons. I would take both teams weapons over the Seahawks weapons. They also have amazing offensive minds drawing up plays for them.

[@Construct87]

Grubb and Geno both do

[@drpammy7847]

As per D.Jeremiah to Brock only 8 picks are on Geno & NFL's most inexperienced iOL. Mahomes iOL had 3 v experienced pro bowlers. 12s must take a lot of blame for selling Thier tickets to rival fans.

[@kiplockhaven382]

Does this guy know what an offensive line does? If Wilson and Smith cannot throw from the pocket due to it being practically non existant then the problem is obvious.

Why am I not surprised this is coming from the former program director of Seattle's propaganda station?

Start at the top

[@butcherknife59knife46]

Yes 15 interception is way to many drives that should have won more games by at least 3 / 4 games. RED ZONE CHOKES!! If I were the coach. He would be gone like the kick returners!! At 10 ints red zone picks. Grub looked good with Petis he is a college KID!!! Geno is not smart or he does not call the play correct. He has had a problem every where!!!

[@divorcing_dads]

Grubb has been a player/coach for 30years... he knows football he cant throw the CORRECT pass for GENO... jus sayin 🤷

[@tjdeuceosix]

Geno wrote the check on those picks, but Ryan Grubb printed those checks. Grubb could not scheme anyone open in the red zone. It didnt matter if the opposing defense was good or bad. Thats not on geno.

[@boyab696]

How Grubb couldn't scheme nobody open when before dk got hurt he was at the top of the receivers list then JSN had a breakout season we finally see chabornet running wild y'all just be saying anything if u thought a first year coordinator was gone come dominate elite coaches in the NFL u just lost the man deserves another year

[@tjdeuceosix]

@boyab696 you made me realize I forgot one part of my criticism. I meant to specify the red zone. Between the 20s, Grubb and Geno were great. Even at the top of the red zone. But once they get to around the 12 yard line, the offense was a complete mess. NY Jets game is the perfect example. Being that close to the red zone, there is no excuse for the roster we have to be as bad as it was. That's not just Geno.

[@carlosoverall3947]

this is trash …. Mahommes threw the same amount. Geno isn’t Mahomes. Hearing words without thought is cringey….

[@Sanata74Hcg]

this dude needs another job

[@chrisellis7548]

OK... Geno said that Coach Grub gave him alot of leeway to read the defence and change the play. What if Geno is the one that is Opt'ing out of runs plays in order to pass? same thing with the play action... he can't read the defense as well under center. Is Geno making that choice too? Having a mobile QB like Sam Howell would get the running yards up and take make the O line numbers look better. What were we worried about with Sam? He might throw too many INTs? Hmm..

[@robertbrooks9686]

How many games did he lose by throwing picks on the final drive? 3 to 5?

[@Mtbunker]

This is stupid. He’s EASY top 10. WEAK OL = no running game and ‘rushed’ passes. Also - DK has an IQ of ~85 AND isn’t where he’s supposed to be a lot of the time.

[@MK3JettaDude]

Not even in the Top 16 lmfao what are you talking about?

[@3Gunzdeep]

@@Mtbunker well he’s at least top four in the NFC West. He’s probably top three in the AFC West. He definitely would be top five if there was a fifth team in the NFC North but I couldn’t put him in front of any of those quarterbacks in the AFC east. I’d put them ahead of Aaron Rodgers at this point no way he’s cracking the top two in that division. Definitely got him behind Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow in the AFC north. He probably very well in the NFC south, although I think Pennix jr will pass him up next year and Baker Mayfield is already ahead of him. So does that put them in the top 10 not by my math?
