Geno Smith’s fiery and competitive spirit is his ‘superpower’

While the coaches don’t want to cost the team a penalty, Grubb echoed what MacDonald said earlier this week. “I think I would always prefer to have a guy who has a little bit of a competitive spirit rather than pushing him out of the ballpark, so to speak. But I do think there’s something to be said for quarterbacks who can maintain their composure in the most important moments.” “

And losing doesn’t get any easier, Smith said, joking that he was a screamer when he was younger.

“When I was little, I cried my eyes out. I cried. I really cried. My mom hated it. She didn’t understand. I cried like a baby, so I don’t cry tears anymore. I fight them, I hold them back, but it still hurts me. I want to win so bad, I want the boys to enjoy the success of all the hard work we’ve put in. .. I want to go to the locker room and celebrate with the team and our guys. So when we don’t win, no matter what I do, no matter how I play, it still hurts.”

Although it doesn’t get any easier, Smith says every loss has taught him something, and his competitive spirit and emotions have helped him become the player he is today.

“It’s a big part of who I am,” Smith said. “I love this game. I love football passionately. I’m looking forward to training every day and trying to get better. The fire that I have inside, the chip on my shoulder, I think we’ve already talked about this, it will never go away. I just need to keep supporting him. And yes, this is my driving force. It has helped me get to this point and will take me into the future, but I can’t afford it. it affects me negatively.”
