Geno vs Atlanta

[CallMeADawg]

Geno still dropping dimes today. Those TE passes were deadly accurate.

Funny how play action works when you have a run game

 

[Maelstrom787]

It's extremely apparent that he is not the issue with the offense. He executes the concepts with surprising accuracy.

Complimentary football brings out consistently decent play from him.

You see that throw in the middle to Dissly? Wilson, can never throw those!

 

[CallMeADawg]

Good to see them hitting some deeper passes than the previous weeks. Pockets have been nice as well.

Geno gets rid of the ball a lot faster than Russ did.

In Geno's first start last season on one play he stepped up in the pocket and threw a completion to the middle of the field. It struck me how long it had been since I had seen a Seahawks QB do that.

One bad pass, got away with it though.

It was the sack before that worried me

Busted play. He was just protecting the ball.

Was that the one where K9 went the wrong away again?

Had to pee, missed the play.

Sure was.

Geno hasn't embarrassed the team or himself in this game, in fact, his RTG is 150.5 powered by his 13/16 for 170 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT, and 10.6 average. He also demythed that Geno led offense couldn't score.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Bit of a hospital ball there. Almost picked up the yardage but whew. Gotta preserve Tyler there.

 

[BigBill1945]

Geno obviously learned a lot what not to do by watching Russell. He does not look for going long on most of his plays. He gets rid of the ball pretty quickly and takes what the D gives him.

Well Im glad people are finally seeing what we saw last year against the Rams when Russ went down. It was no coincidence that he was able to move the ball much more efficiently than Russ could before he went down with injury.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Seattle's eyes have been trained to expect a brand of football that doesn't really exist outside of Russell Wilson.

This, coupled with Geno's reputation with the Jets, is exactly why he's so polarizing to watch. The on-schedule throws executing short and intermediate concepts are refreshing, whereas the inability to pull rabbits out of ones hat feels wrong and elicits a feeling of hopelessness in tough spots.

It's a complete reversal in playstyle, and after a full decade of Russ, it's going to take some adjustment.

Our stats are stellar going into halftime up 4 or more. Not as good with a lead or 3 or less or trailing.
