Footballguys on Geno Smith

Smith faces a shaky Lions secondary missing both starting safeties; prime matchup for downfield attack.

Geno Smith faces an ailing Lions defense that has been thoroughly beaten in seven of nine quarters through two weeks, lacking both starting safeties (Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph). Smith has spent his first two weeks drawing defenses in with the run and short throws; if the Jets open things up downfield, they'll face very little resistance. Smith has hit 71% of his throws and kept the ball close, eliminating the mistake-rich stretches from his Las Vegas tenure.
