Ted S. Warren/AP file Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, center, drops back to pass next to backup quarterbacks Paxton Lynch, left, and Geno Smith, right, during training camp in 2019 in Renton, Washington. BY BOB CONDOTTA The Seattle Times SEATTLE — In keeping with an offseason in which continuity has been a key objective, the Seahawks an- nounced Thursday they have re-signed quarterback Geno Smith to again serve as a backup to Russell Wilson. This is the third straight year Smith has signed with Seattle. Contract details were not available but it is likely to again be a one-year deal for Smith, who made $1.187 mil- lion last year and $895,000 in 2019. Smith, 30, has played just 18 snaps in his previous two seasons with the Seahawks, all coming at the end of a 40-3 blowout win over the Jets last December at Lumen Field. But the 2013 second-round pick of the Jets out of West Virginia has 31 starts in his NFL career, and it’s that ex- perience that Seattle values should the team ever sud- denly need a quarterback to fill in for Wilson. Wilson has never missed a start in his NFL career and has played 95% or more of snaps every season — and ev- ery snap four times, includ- ing 2018 and 2019 — mean- ing backup quarterbacks for Seattle have almost never been needed since 2012. And that’s one reason the Sea- hawks have never invested all that heavily financially in a backup. Seattle had Tarvaris Jack- son from 2013-15, Trevone Boykin in 2016, Austin Da- vis in 2017, Brett Hundley in 2018 and then Smith the past two years, and likely again in 2021. Seattle has two other quar- terbacks on the roster in Danny Etling and Alex Mc- Gough, who each ended last season on the practice squad. Etling, a 2018 sev- enth-round pick of the Patri- ots, was acquired off waivers from Atlanta in August and was with Seattle for the entire season. McGough, a 2018 sev- enth-round pick of the Se- ahawks, was re-signed last December during a time when Smith was dealing with a knee issue and the team wanted some extra depth. Neither Etling nor Mc- Gough has played in an NFL game. Smith went 4 for 5 for 33 yards with one sack during his mop-up duty against the Jets last season. Seattle now has 66 play- ers who are under contract or who have agreed to terms. Teams can have up to 90 on their offseason rosters.

You get a kid running the 800 with a mask on, it is actually dangerous. They don’t get the oxygen that they need. This rule needs to change.” Washington changed its mask mandate for cross-coun- try and track earlier this year, and now allows competitors to run without a mask. “Unfortunately in Oregon we have to follow the OHA (Oregon Health Authority),” Turnbull said. “And the OHA is not reasonable. I would like those people to come out and run an 800 with a mask on.” e e Reporter: 541-383-0307, brathbone@bendbulletin.com “We just show up, see what the lineup card says and then we go out there and roll. It’s really not a big thing with us. (Coach Canham) takes care of all that stuff, so we just go out there and do our job whenever we’re told.” Baseball Continued from B3 “I think it’s part of the learn- ing process to just be present with whatever situation you are in,” Canham said. “Just be- cause you’re hitting in the four hole, that doesn’t mean you’re supposed to go and hit home runs. That means you’re sup- posed to be you and win each pitch. Just because you’re hit- ting in the eight, nine hole, that doesn’t mean, ‘Eh, the coach doesn’t think I can hit.’ There needs to be productivity and there needs to be responsibility no matter where you’re at and whether you’re playing or not.” And while the Beavers (25- 10) have ascended to the top of the Pac-12 Conference stand- ings with exceptional pitching and defense — they rank third in the nation in ERA (2.69) and fourth in WHIP (1.09) — they also boast a capable crop of hitters. Sixteen Beavers have multi- hit games this season, 14 have recorded a multi-RBI game and 12 have hit at least one home run. Along the way, 20 players have started two games or more. Some of this is a result of 2021 roster expansion, which occurred in the wake of last season’s coronavirus-canceled season and has led to what players have described as “un- heard of” depth. But most of it is a result of talent and a coach’s search for consistency.

High Low TUESDAY 52° 30° 55° 30° Cloudy with a little rain late MONDAY — Ryan Ober, Oregon State baseball player Leon Neuschwander/For the Oregonian/TNS file Oregon State’s Ryan Ober went 5 for 12 with seven RBIs in the Beavers’ most recent three-game Pac-12 series — all wins — against California last weekend. doesn’t necessarily want to be this unpredictable, but he will continue to lean on random until he finds the dependability he’s looking for. “I wouldn’t say I have it down to an exact science,” Canham said. “It’s always learning on our end as well. But a lot of it is just us read- ing our guys and what they’re coming with on a day-to-day basis, because they’re all still working on being consistent. And, again, you (want to) put them in the best spot where you find them to be successful on that given day.” And what about the play- ers? How do they feel about the constant lineup juggling? “We just show up, see what the lineup card says and then we go out there and roll,” Ryan Ober said. “It’s really not a big thing with us. Cam’s the big man on campus. He takes care of all that stuff, so we just go out there and do our job when- ever we’re told.” Besides, as the Beavers move into the second half of the sea- son and face the meat of their conference schedule, Canham’s lineup — or the top half at least — could be settling into some- thing familiar. When the Beavers swept the Bears last weekend, Canham used the same lineup in Games 1 and 2 and his one-through- five hitters — Jacob Melton, Ober, Jake Dukart, Garret For- rester and Troy Claunch — re- mained the same all series. It was the first time this sea- son Canham’s lineup has fea- tured the same one-through- five hitters in three consecutive games. Oregon State scored 22 runs on 35 hits and had three late-inning comebacks in the sweep. “In an ideal situation, the guys can create the lineup,” Canham said. “In a perfect world, guys know where they’re hitting in the lineup because there’s com- plete consistency to it. And they’re going to bring out the same energy, the same focus, and you know what you’re go- ing to get — quality at-bats. I think that’s what’s important. It’s not necessarily the hits or not. You’re going to have 0-4 days, right? But is this guy in the box the same guy the next day when he’s 0-4 as if he’s 4-4? Because you can trust consis- tency.”
