Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll taunts his former quarterback Russell Wilson. His successor Geno Smith, unlike Wilson, often looks at the wristband with the playbook, which makes things easier. The Denver Broncos quarterback responds directly.

Munich – In the summer, Russell Wilson left the Seattle Seahawks and joined the Denver Broncos.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the departure of the long-time quarterback was not entirely harmonious. And Pete Carroll, the long-time head coach of the Seahawks, seems all the more pleased that things are going really well in Seattle even without Wilson. Because now the 71-year-old coach jibed against his longtime signal caller in a radio interview.

“If you pay attention, you can see Geno keeps looking at his wristband. That helps him a lot,” Carroll Wilson successor Geno Smith praised. “It’s smoothed things out, sped things up, cleaned things up. And that’s part of it, too. We never did that before. There was resistance to it, so we didn’t do that before. “

Wilson responds to Carroll’s allegations

Who Carroll meant by “resistors” here is clear. For Wilson had not worn a wristband noting the plays in the playbook during his time in Seattle.

And it was also clear to Wilson that this was a dig at him by his ex-coach. For the 33-year-old responded directly at a Broncos press conference. “We won a lot of games,” Wilson said, “I didn’t know that winning or losing depended on whether you wore a wristband or not.”

Wilson currently stands at 3-5 with his Broncos, while his successor Smith has led the Seahawks, who face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Munich on Sunday, to six wins and three losses.
