Geno Smith Thrives in Man Coverage | New York Jets News

About this episode

Geno Smith’s game is exploding against man coverage, turning him into a QB who thrives when matched up against aggressive defenders — and it’s unlocking Garrett Wilson’s full potential. New analytics reveal Smith’s EPA per play jumps to .34 against man, cratering to -.05 against zone — one of the most extreme splits in the league. With Wilson already a man-coverage monster since 2022, the combo could be explosive. While Mahomes and Mayfield shine in zone, Smith’s strength is in the trenches of man-to-man — and if he keeps this up, he might just be the bridge that lifts the Jets offense to new heights.
