Pete Carroll Expresses Confidence in Geno Smith Despite Raiders' 2-8 Start

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll remains confident in quarterback Geno Smith, despite the team's 2-8 record. Smith acknowledged his need to "play better" after Monday night's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys, where he threw for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Carroll, however, stated he "thought Geno played really well for the most part" and has "no hesitation" in believing in him. Carroll emphasized the need for the team to "help him out more and protect him better," suggesting a change under center is unlikely in the near future.
