Smith was picture perfect on the drive that covered 69 yards and took 5:56 off the clock. He completed all 7 of the passes he threw, sprayed the ball around to 6 receivers and converted those pair of third-down plays. On the second third-down conversion, the play before the 13-yard TD pass to TE [Jelani Woods](/team/players-roster/jelani-woods/), Smith was flushed out of the pocket, rolled to his right and found a sliding Garrett Wilson at the Pittsburgh 13-yard line.
"I have a good vision of where we're going to be and I think we're definitely not there yet," Tippmann said. "But in practice and seeing Geno for the first time in a game, it just got me really excited about what we can do ... the way he holds himself, the way he carries himself, his composure while we're in the huddle. That's been in practice and in the game and is something that just impresses me. And I think it comes from his experience in the league and the ups and downs that he's been through in his career."
Up next is the preseason finale against the Giants on Friday night. When he was asked if Smith would play, HC Aaron Glenn said it was too soon for him to even consider it. The team has only two more practices in training camp, Monday and Tuesday. And after the final preseason game, the Jets (and the 31 other NFL teams) will have until 6 p.m. on Aug. 30 to reduce their rosters to 53 players.
