FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The wind was gusting, rain drops drizzled and a warm day quickly turned cold just as the New York Jets took the practice field. But there Geno Smith was, in the pocket, firing off a deep ball despite the resistance in the air. As he ever was, Smith remains unafraid to fire at will. It’s a welcomed changed after a recent run of Jets quarterbacks who were unwilling to take any shots that weren’t right in front of them.This is a new Geno Smith, and a new kind of quarterback for a Jets team that has needed a little fearlessness at the position. Some of that has to do with Smith’s growth and maturity 10 years after he last wore the uniform — it’s surreal, he said, that he’s wearing it again. Same for linebacker Demario Davis, back for his third go-around with the team that drafted him. Davis is the only teammate here now who was there then, when Smith’s tumultuous tenure ended unceremoniously.“Here’s somebody who comes to work every day with the right attitude,” Davis said after Thursday’s practice. “He’s one of the most competitive guys I’ve been around. His spirit and continence is right. There’s something about him when you’re around him — I wasn’t around him for a multitude of years — but he’s obviously walked through things in life that brought his continence and his spirit to a place of peace. He’s very comfortable in his skin. He knows who he is and he’s arriving at this moment with his mind right. It’s a joy to have that competitive counterpart to go against every day.”Jets coach Aaron Glenn raved about Smith’s command of the huddle, his grasp of the offense, his ability to make sure everyone is in the right place and knows where they’re supposed to be. Smith is hyper-focused on attacking these practices, and not trying to fix everything that ails the Jets all at once.“You can only focus on what’s right in front of you,” Smith said. “You want to be in the moment and stay in the moment. We want to be the best team in the world — I don’t feel shy about saying that. But I understand there’s a lot of work to be done. You focus on getting better every single day and then you focus on your performance on Sundays.”All of that, Smith said, comes with age.“I’ve just gotten older,” he said with a smile. “I’ve always felt like I had talent but my fundamentals have grown. The leadership aspect has grown. I’m a lot more calm, there’s a lot less of me trying to figure out what to expect — I know what to expect now. Just a lot more calm in my demeanor. I’m still the same guy, still got the same passion for the game.”As for any sort of pressure he feels to prove himself, to get the Jets back to prominence …“I don’t feel any pressure, honestly,” he said.So how did Smith look in his first Jets practice open to the media?Here are some takeaways from Thursday’s practice:
