Raiders Not Expected to Bench Geno Smith in Week 6

Wednesday, October 8, 3:49 PM

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler says he would classify the Las Vegas Raiders as "mildly concerned" about quarterback Geno Smith's rough start to the season. Fowler adds that there's "no sentiment that Smith is a broken quarterback." Smith is not expected to be benched in Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. Scouts that Fowler has talked with think Smith has "been too late" with the ball and is relying on his arm talent to force footballs into tight windows. It hasn't been pretty for the veteran QB through five games, as he's thrown six touchdowns and a league-leading nine interceptions. Smith and head coach Pete Carroll have enough equity from their days in Seattle that Carroll "could stick with him a little longer as a result." With that said, real questions are going to arise about Smith's job status if he cannot get the job done on Sunday against the one-win Titans.

Trevor Lawrence Totals 275 Yards, Three Touchdowns in Win Over Chiefs

Monday, October 6, 11:50 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 25 passes for 221 yards with one touchdown and two turnovers while rushing 10 times for 54 yards and two scores in Monday night's 31-28 win over Kansas City. It wasn't all pretty for Lawrence as he threw a pick, lost a fumble, and took three sacks, but he was active with his legs all night and ultimately led his team on a game-winning drive. He connected with star receiver Brian Thomas Jr. on a beautiful deep ball for a 33-yard gain on the final drive. The 10 rushes tied Lawrence's career high, and Monday night marked the fourth game of his career with two rushing touchdowns. Lawrence has been a bit up and down this season, but should continue to get more comfortable in Liam Coen's offense as the season goes along.
