#### **Micah Carbajal from Arizona asks:**
#### **"For Geno, in your opinion what makes the Raiders fan base standout amongst all the other ones?"**
[Geno Smith](/team/players-roster/geno-smith/) has had a few opportunities to play in front of Raider Nation with training camp practices open to the public, the mock game at Allegiant Stadium and the preseason contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
As Smith prepares to play in his regular season debut as a Raider, he wants to live up to the standard that's been set by the franchise.
"You think about the Raider logo, the Silver and Black, Raider Nation – you think about history," Smith said Wednesday. "The history of the NFL is not there without the Raiders. And it's a big part of the international fanbase. The people who don't live in America, they see that logo, they recognize it. To me it's about history, but it's also about going out there and playing with pride. There's a lot of great players, a lot of great coaches who've also worn silver and black and so I take great pride in that. I want to make sure I go out there and put the right things on tape so they can all be proud of me."
While the Raiders start their season on the road, The Nation will certainly travel well to New England to show their support for Smith and the rest of the team.
