Pete Carroll says Seahawks could play both Geno Smith Drew Lock We might have tw

[sharonorn]

The Seahawks are inching ever closer to the start of the season, and coach Pete Carroll still has yet to name a starter at quarterback.It remains to be seen how Seattle’s quarterback situation will play out between Geno Smith and Drew Lock. But Carroll, who said he’s “wide open for whatever happens,” will apparently take as much time as nece sary to decide on his starter for the 2022 season.Even if that includes letting both quarterbacks play during the season.That could happen,” Carroll told reporters on Tuesday. “Yeah, that could happen.Of course, Carroll did not specify how such a scenario would play out, whether that be to play a quarterback a half at a time, a game at a time or in specific game situations.Perhaps Friday’s game could give a glimpse of how Carroll plans on using the pair of QBs going forward; Carroll announced that Smith would start Seattle’s preseason clash with Dallas on Friday. However, Lock will take the brunt of the snaps.Geno Smith will start against Dallas, Pete Carroll tells on . Drew Lock will come in and play most of the game but Geno will be the first guy out there. Dugar, Michael-Shawn (@MikeDugar) MORE: || |Friday’s announcement tracks with previous comments Carroll has said regarding the battle at QB. It seems the Carroll views Smith, backup to Ru sell Wilson in Seattle in 2020 and 2021, as the leader as the preseason nears its end. Lock, included as part of a trade that sent Wilson to the Broncos, is right behind him.Said Carroll of his team’s quarterback situation:Geno has been the guy in the lead position the whole time. Ive protected that thought throughout and hes done a really nice job. Hes been very consistent. Well just see what happens.”Hes been very consistent with his work and all of that, and Drew has been really sharp. I know its not supposed to be a good situation when you have two quarterbacks and it means you dont have one is the old saying, but I dont know though we might have two (number) ones. Well see what happens.MORE: The po sibility also exists that neither Smith nor Lock will be the starter at the end of the season.The 49ers are still , though a trade to a divisional rival seems unlikely. That said, if San Francisco can’t find a viable trade partner (the only other one seems Kaleb McGary Jersey to be the Browns) then the team could simply cut him.Seattle would then be free to negotiate terms and potentially bring Garoppolo on as, presumably, the favorite to win the starting job. As Carroll says, we’ll see whether that happens in time for the Seahawks’ season opener against Wilson and the Broncos.
