You know fall is around the corner when the NFL preseason begins. Thursday, the Seattle Seahawks will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in their first pre-season matchup. Coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Geno Smith will be there, maybe a bit awkwardly for Hawks fans, on the Raiders side of the field.
Carroll is the only coach who was able to lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title, and Smith helped them rack up winning records the past three years. To talk football, KUOW’s Kim Malcolm reached out to longtime Seattle sportswriter Art Thiel.
