Watch Seahawks QB Geno Smith throw preseason TD to DK Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald wanted to see the starting offense play a productive series or two in Saturday’s preseason finale versus the Cleveland Browns. Quarterback Geno Smith had almost the entire first-team offense available at his disposal, minus center Connor Williams, and veteran wide receiver Tyler Lockett.

Seattle’s first offensive series represented Smith’s preseason debut. Smith was outstanding on the first drive, completing 4-of-5 passing attempts for 62 yards and a touchdown. He completed the scoring drive with this 21-yard touchdown to DK Metcalf.

It capped a five-play, 62 yard efficient scoring drive. Smith took possession on his own 38-yard line and swiftly completed a 25-yard pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Smith later hit Kenny McIntosh for nine yards before targeting Smith-Njigba for another seven-yard gain. The next play was Metcalf’s 21-yard score.

Smith’s starting offensive line had Charles Cross at left tackle, Laken Tomlinson at left guard, Olu Oluwatimi at center, Anthony Bradford at right guard, and George Fant at right tackle.

It was a picture-perfect start for Smith, who showcased terrific command of Ryan Grubb’s offense. Hopefully Smith’s touchdown strike to Metcalf is a sign of things to come. Smith and Grubb could combine to oversee an explosive unit in Seattle this season.
