The Seattle Seahawks are set to make their playoff debut this weekend, and they’ll be doing so with a new face under center. Geno Smith, who signed with the team in December, will be making his first start for the Seahawks as they take on the Tennessee Titans in a crucial matchup.
Smith, who was drafted by the New York Jets in 2013, has had an up-and-down career since then. He spent four seasons with the Jets before being traded to the Giants in 2017. He then spent two seasons with the Chargers before signing with the Seahawks in December.
Smith brings a lot of experience to the table, having played in over 50 NFL games. He has also been successful in the past, leading the Jets to an 8-8 record in his rookie season and throwing for over 3,000 yards in his second year.
The Seahawks are hoping that Smith can provide a spark to their offense, which has been inconsistent this season. They have relied heavily on their defense to win games, but if they want to make a deep run in the playoffs, they will need Smith to step up and make plays.
The Titans are no slouches either, as they have been one of the best teams in the NFL this season. They boast a talented defense and an offense that can put up points in a hurry. They will be looking to take advantage of Smith’s inexperience and put pressure on him early and often.
It will be an exciting matchup between two teams that have a lot to play for. The Seahawks will be looking to prove that they can compete with the best teams in the league, while the Titans will be looking to prove that they are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. It should be an exciting game, and it will be interesting to see how Smith performs in his first playoff start.
