The Seattle Seahawks have been known for their impressive play on the field, and their success is largely due to the leadership of head coach Pete Carroll. Recently, Carroll has been praising quarterback Geno Smith for making a “good call” on the final running play of the game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The play in question was a fourth-and-one situation late in the fourth quarter with the Seahawks trailing by three points. Smith called for a run up the middle, and running back Chris Carson was able to pick up the first down and keep the drive alive. The Seahawks eventually scored a touchdown on the drive and won the game.
Carroll was full of praise for Smith after the game, saying that he made a “good call” on the play and that it was “the right decision”. He also noted that Smith had been studying film and preparing for the game all week, which helped him make the right call at the right time.
This isn’t the first time that Carroll has praised Smith for his decision-making. Earlier in the season, he praised Smith for making a “great call” on a fourth-down play against the Arizona Cardinals. On that play, Smith called for a pass to wide receiver Tyler Lockett, which resulted in a touchdown.
Smith has been a pleasant surprise for the Seahawks this season, as he was signed as a free agent after being released by the New York Giants. He has been a reliable backup to Russell Wilson and has shown that he can make good decisions when called upon. His performance against the 49ers is just another example of why Carroll has so much faith in him.
It’s clear that Carroll has faith in Smith and believes in his ability to make good decisions on the field. With Smith at the helm, the Seahawks have a reliable backup quarterback who can be counted on to make the right calls when needed.
