Geno Smith runs 21.67 mph during practice.

Geno's probably going to need that elite speed for a QB with this year's OL, just saying.

 

[toffee]

21.67 mph at his advanced age is quite remarkable, isn't it? I didn't notice that straight-line speed the few times he turned on his 'jet'.

That's remarkable. He's definitely putting in the work this offseason. Here are the numbers for the team so far. I've not seen this type of stuff posted on the wall before (maybe I missed it?), but I love the emphasis/accountability on speed training.

Geno Smith posts fastest time for the Seahawks in 2024 offseason

There are several far superior athletes on the roster, but Geno Smith’s competitive fire continues to set the pace for the Seattle Seahawks heading towards the 2024 season.

Really impressive. He does some things really well. I wouldn’t mind seeing him racing down the sideline this season.

It would be interesting to see what DK’s top speed is. I didn’t see him on the chart.

 

[WarHawks]

That's great, except that he doesn't use it much. Beats being slow though, that's for sure.

 

[fenderbender123]

Big deal. My car can go faster than that.

That’s “Mr. Unlimited” to us peasants.

Of course not. DK's speed is off the charts.

 

[WarHawks]

He's too short.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

As long as he stops throwing the ball to opposing defenders, I'm good

He should have got pulled over for DWI (j/k).

Good because he will be running for his life if we don’t address the interior of our OL

Don't worry we will draft a qb to fix it....

I predict Geno plays like an "elite" QB this year. I really am a Geno fan. He is the single season team leader for passing all time. People forget that. I just feel like the guy knows he has something to prove and is hungry to do it. Doesn't hurt to have pro bowl caliber receivers on the team.

I'm banking on a 4000+ yard, 30+ TD and 15 or less INT season. Wouldn't be surprised to see him miss a game or two though, and I bet Howell can handle it.

I don't have any real reason, but I just feel very optimistic about next season.

 

[SNDavidson]

I was hesitant to remark because of the time of year, but he actually does look slimmer, which I find intriguing...

Man, I feel Geno is as great of match in terms of arm talent, athleticism, but most importantly willingness to be coached up just like Penix was to Grubb.

It kind of makes you wonder how important was Dave Canales not only to Smith’s rise up but just how important was he to Waldron. Because Waldron looked seriously out of depth last year, not totally inept, but it more or less felt like the success was players making plays rather than the scheme making plays. It felt Waldron scheme did not truly fit the strengths of the players and it was a big reason why it felt like there was no identity behind the offense.

For as much as Geno gets shit on, it’s important to understand that one he was playing a part as best as he could.

At least now we know he doesn't have an excuse for not chasing them down.

Why do you hate him so much dude? Geno throws dots

The NFL says that Jackson’s top speed was clocked at 21mph; for a bit of comparison, US sprinter Tyson Gay’s top speed is 27.40mph.

...from a Jan 25 article on www.en.as.com referring to Lamar Jackson in 2023.

Sure it's not apples to apples, but new coach might be trying to integrate a few wrinkles....
