EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.– Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith hopped off the field and missed out on 2 series late in the very first half Monday night after a doubtful take on near the sideline by New York City Giants linebacker Isaiah Simmons
Smith hurt his knee on the play. He stayed in the video game for another play prior to getting addressed in the medical camping tent.
” An unclean play. Filthy play,” Smith informed ESPN’s Lisa Salters after he returned for the 2nd half of Seattle’s 24-3 success “You people can see it. It was a filthy play. It’s no location in this sport for that and ideally something occurs, however besides that, the grace of God enabled me to come back into this video game and I more than happy to be back out there.”
Smith made his annoyance understood right away. He later on got flagged for teasing when he went back to the video game in the 3rd quarter.
He was still distressed after the video game regardless of the Seahawks (3-1) travelling into the bye week coming off a win. Smith completed 13-of-20 passing for 110 lawns and a goal.
” I simply do not regard that kind of things,” Smith stated. “There’s no requirement for that kind of things. It’s a hard-fought video game out there. We’re all fighting, however there’s no requirement to take chance ats people lacking bounds on the sideline.”
Smith seemed a bit restricted upon returning and was moving gingerly on the knee. However he insists it’s absolutely nothing significant.
” I’m great. I’m great. God is great,” he stated.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll’s greatest gripe appeared to be more about how Smith was removed than where. The play took place near the Giants sideline after Smith had his pass batted back to him.
It in fact went as a reception for minus-2 lawns on the play.
” Yeah, that looked so hazardous,” Carroll stated. “I do not understand why we didn’t see that in a different way. It simply looked so hazardous. All of the result of a horse-collar take on occurred, with the swing of the body that takes down the back of the legs, and he got harmed on that play. A charge would not have actually remedied that, however it simply appeared like such a harmful play it may have necessitated a review.”
The Giants didn’t feel the very same about the hit. They believed it was tidy.
” I actually do not got much to state about it. We playing football. He seethes he got struck? What do most quarterbacks do when they do not wish to get struck? They decrease. I do not actually understand what else to inform him about that.”

Simmons states he was simply attempting to make a deal with. Smith was running for lawns after capturing his own pass.
” I actually do not got much to state about it,” Simmons stated. “We playing football. He seethes he got struck? What do most quarterbacks do when they do not wish to get struck? They decrease. I do not actually understand what else to inform him about that.”
Simmons insists it was tidy which he began the take on in bounds.
” Yeah, no one is attempting to injure any person out there. I desire everybody to be excellent, you understand what I indicate? No one is attempting to injure any person, so I would dislike anybody deliberately attempting to injure me,” Simmons stated. “None of that was planned. We’re simply attempting to play difficult and win.”
Smith initially believed it was security Xavier McKinney who made the doubtful take on. The 2 had words on the field later on in the series.
McKinney didn’t appear too worried about the play later.
” I do not understand. I actually do not care to be sincere what he is stating or what he is doing,” McKinney stated. “Do not actually matter.
” Yeah, I believed the hit was great.” He laughed. “He’ll be all right.”
