After the Seahawks' preseason opener Saturday night, the first-round matchup between Seattle quarterbacks Geno Smith and Drew Lock is in the books. In all respects, the team's score so far is a draw. Smith, the current QB entering his third season in Seattle, started the game and played the entire first half. The eight-year veteran led a charge that was slow, but he finished the game on a high note with an impressive scoring run with less than two minutes left. Smith completed 3 of 5 passes for 36 yards in nine two-minute 61-yard drills and found the end zone in a 2-yard scramble. “It turned out to be a good outing for two guys because they were under a lot of pressure to get things done,” head coach Pete Carroll said via Bob Condotta after the 32-25 win over the Steelers Tower, the Seattle Times says. "We came in from the back and drove to the front and stuff like that. I'd love to see what it looks like when we tear it down. But those are the options we're looking at to see how well these guys do. “I felt great there,” said Smith, who completed 10 of 15 passes for 101 yards, rushing nine and scoring. "I feel like my decisions put things in perspective. They have some good blitzes and things like that, but I can take the ball out of my hands when I need it."
