Geno Smith Sends Bold Message: "Michael Mayer Will Change the Game – This Is Just the Beginning!"
In a recent interview, Geno Smith, the seasoned quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, made an electrifying statement about his teammate, Michael Mayer, that has fans buzzing. Smith's bold remarks hint at the immense potential of the young tight end and his role in transforming the Raiders' offense in the upcoming season.
"Michael Mayer is not just a talent, he's someone who can change the game. I've seen the power in every step he takes, in every catch he makes," said Smith. The quarterback didn't mince words, emphasizing that Mayer’s ability to influence a game is unmatched. "We're not stopping here. I'll always be the one leading the charge, the one by his side, and together, we're going to make every team fear us. Michael is ready, and so am I. This is just the beginning," he added.
The confidence and optimism in Smith’s words resonate with the Raiders’ fans who are eagerly waiting to see Mayer's impact on the field. Since being drafted, Mayer has shown immense promise, but it’s clear that Smith sees something special in him that goes beyond just physical ability. Mayer's athleticism and reliability as a target in crucial moments are poised to be game-changers for the Raiders.
What stands out the most about Smith’s statement is his clear belief in Mayer's potential. It’s not just about catching passes or making plays; it's about being a catalyst for change, shifting the momentum of the game when it matters most. As the Raiders continue to build their offense around explosive talents like Mayer, the quarterback sees the tight end as someone who will be at the heart of their success.
The chemistry between the two is undeniable. Smith has already stated that Mayer’s understanding of the game and his commitment to improving every week make him an invaluable asset. “When you have someone like Michael, you know you can trust him in any situation,” Smith noted. “And that's the kind of player you want in your corner.”
With the Raiders looking to reclaim their competitive edge in the AFC, Mayer's growth as a top-tier playmaker could be a key factor in their quest for success. Smith’s confidence in Mayer isn't just about his individual skills; it's about the dynamic partnership they are building to lead the team to new heights.
As the Raiders' season progresses, expect to see more explosive plays from Mayer as he steps into a more prominent role. With Smith at the helm and Mayer ready to make waves, the future of the Las Vegas Raiders looks brighter than ever.
Seahawks need to make trade proposal for Browns' Pro Bowl player
There aren't many weak links for the Seattle Seahawks' offense through the first six games of the season. Seattle currently ranks fifth in the league in points per game (27.7) and fourth in passing yards per game (252.2).
If there is one area that the Seahawks could improve offensively, it would be in the running game. Seattle is currently averaging 104.2 rushing yards per game, 24th in the league. They have reliable run-blockers and a great first-string running back in Kenneth Walker III. There are concerns over the Seahawks' usage of Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
While there are solid moments with their offensive tackles and good development of rookie guard Grey Zabel, there are concerns at the right guard with Anthony Bradford.
He has been trending on X and other social media outlets for his lackluster, embarrassing performance in the Week 4 road win at the Arizona Cardinals. Pro Football Focus has given Bradford an overall grade of 47.9, which is 90th among the 109 qualified guards across the league. PFF has also given him a 56.6 run block grade and a 21.7 pass block grade. His pass block grade is 94th among the same qualified guards in the league.
It is time for the Seahawks to make an upgrade at the right position, a constant problem. It isn’t enough to try out Christian Haynes at the position; they might need to look at another team’s roster for the answer.
The Seahawks should look at the Cleveland Browns to check and see if there is a potential rebuild coming along.
At 1-5, the Browns are one of the worst teams in the league, but there are great options for the Seahawks to attempt a trade for, including guards Wyatt Teller or Joel Bitonio.
Teller is a three-time Pro Bowl selection from 2021 to 2023. One reason he was potentially not named a Pro Bowler last season was that he missed four games. He has earned a PFF grade of 70 in each of the seasons since 2020. This season, he (along with the Browns) is having a rough season, but Teller still has a run block grade of 66.8.
Teller plays right guard for the Browns, so it would be easy for the Seahawks to slot him there and create a much more complete offensive line.
Another option the Seahawks could go for with the Browns is Bitonio. He has been one of Cleveland's most consistent offensive linemen since Joe Thomas retired. Bitonio is coming off his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl season last year. He has also been named a two-time first-team All-Pro in 2021 and 2022.
His biggest drawback is that he just turned 34 years old. He is also in the final year of his contract after having it restructured.
The trade to get one of these offensive linemen might not be large due to their age and how much in a rebuild the Browns are. This is why the Seahawks should act now on upgrading the interior offensive line.
