If the Seahawks want to win games by running the ball and playing good defense in 2022, they’re going to need better late game QB play than they had in 2021.
However, two of the five games in which the Hawks lost by 3 or less or in overtime came during the three games started by Geno Smith. Whether it was a product of the new offense, or a function of the lack of talent surrounding them, neither Smith nor Wilson were able to lead the Seahawks to victory when crunch time arrived in close games during 2021.
That could be an important fact to keep in mind as the Seahawks prepare to play the 2022 season with either Smith or Drew Lock under center, as neither has ever displayed a significant ability to lead a team back late in the game. Smith appeared in four games for Seattle during the 2021 season, taking the field down by a single score or tied in the fourth quarter or overtime in three of those four games.
It is, quite frankly, not a pretty picture. It’s a total of 30 offensive plays yielding 71 yards and a total of three points in seven drives. Certainly Jason Myers takes most of the blame for missing a field goal late in the game against the Saints in Week 7, but Geno certainly didn’t need to take an 11 yard sack on 3rd & 11 to transform a 42 yard attempt into a 53 yarder.
So, when it’s all said and done, when the Seahawks take to the field with a strategy built on keeping the game close with the run and playing solid defense, they’ll need to be able to execute in the fourth quarter in order to be competitive. And that’s something they were not able to do during the time Smith was under center during 2021.
