现年35岁的四分卫Geno Smith在纽约喷气机队的训练营中表现出色,引得进攻协调员Frank Reich高度称赞。[1] Smith于本赛季从拉斯维加斯掠夺者队加盟喷气机队,Reich评价他"处于职业生涯巅峰,就像28岁一样",并指出他具有"精英"的足球智商和"纯正"的传球机制。[1] 这位已在联盟效力第14个赛季的老将在2013年以第二轮新秀身份被喷气机队选中。[1]
Smith的加盟意在改善喷气机队上赛季的进攻困境。[1] 该队上赛季战绩为3:14,进攻指标排名联盟最末,其中平均推进码数仅8码。[1] Smith在过去三个赛季(2022-24年)在西雅图连续传球码数至少3500码,去年在拉斯维加斯传球3025码。[1] 不过他在拉斯维加斯时拦截次数较多,并列NFL最高的17次。[1]
Geno Smith, the New York Jets' 35-year-old quarterback in his 14th NFL season, has drawn high praise from offensive coordinator Frank Reich during the team's training camp, with Reich describing the veteran as performing "like he's 28" and operating at the peak of his career [1]. Smith, who was originally selected by the Jets in the second round of the 2013 draft, joined the franchise this season from the Las Vegas Raiders with the goal of reversing a dismal offensive performance that saw the team post a 3-14 record last year [1].
Reich has lauded Smith's "elite" football intelligence and "pure" passing mechanics [1]. The quarterback demonstrated durability over his three most recent seasons in Seattle, consistently throwing for at least 3,500 passing yards annually from 2022 through 2024 [1]. Last year in Las Vegas, Smith threw for 3,025 yards while tying for the NFL lead with 17 interceptions [1]. The Jets' offense ranked among the league's worst last season, including averaging just 8 yards per play—the lowest in the NFL [1].
