SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - AUGUST 19: Jaxon Smith-Njigba #11 of the Seattle Seahawks runs a route against the Dallas Cowboys during a preseason game at Lumen Field on August 19, 2023 in Seattle, Washington. won their second game of the exhibition schedule, 22-14, over the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night. Head coach Pete Carroll actually elected to play some of his presumptive starters for a chunk of the first and second quarters as regular season preparations ramp up.
Drew Lock still wants to be a starting quarterback and believes in his ability to do the job. However, he's also fully accepted that Geno Smith has entrenched himself as the starter in Seattle after last year's training camp competition. Lock made several two great throws to Smith-Njigba and Thompson, and a completion to tight end Tyler Mabry set up another 1-yard touchdown run by SaRodorick Thompson.
"We kind of tried to emphasize that this week," Lock said. "‘Geno is going to go out and play. Drew, you know you're going to play. Geno is down and you're going in.’ That's how we try to talk about it this week with me going in to play. The offense when I was out there, guys blocked their butts off, guys made plays with the ball in their hands, we scored points. That's the number one goal.
"I think it comes from being in the same offense for two years now, like you said, just quicker decisions with the ball," Lock said. "Knowing when on a play-action I turn my head around, knowing whether it's going to be good or bad. Just processing quicker. When you get to that point and kind of feel the way I'm feeling right now, you feel like you can go out there every time and walk down the field. That's the feeling that every quarterback wants to have.
"That is just a little bit of what he can do," said linebacker Tyreke Smith of Smith-Njigba, who was teammates with him at Ohio State. "He has a lot in his bag. Jaxon is a special player. I’ve seen it day in and day out when I was on the practice field with him at State. When he gets his chance, he’s going to show y’all what he can do for real."
"Every moment I get on the field is like surreal, and I just thank God for putting me in this position and giving me the guidance and the strength to be here," Smith said. "Thank the team, they’ve been rallying behind me. It’s been a great camp, just working every day, trying to stack days, make sure I get better each day."
