The Seattle Seahawks have finally begun their first game of the season against the Rams.

After a quality first half by the Seahawks, the Rams got the game back under control, and a big part of that stems from their having one of the best players in the history of the NFL on the field for them.

Aaron Donald is one of the best to ever play the game, and that elicits a response on the field sometimes, even for players as good as Geno Smith.

In a moment that would scare all of us, Geno Smith found himself in an open pocket with a perfect view towards Aaron Donald. The issue? Donald had an open lane straight at Smith.

Smith reacted as most of us would, although he was able to make it cleaner with his language than this writer would:

It is absolutely unfair that Donald can move like that. Smith had it right.

In fact, in addition to the funny sound bite, Smith made a good play to get the ball away quickly to prevent a huge sack that would likely take most quarterbacks out of the game.

Hopefully the Seahawks can find a way to get back in front soon. Shutting down Donald would go a long way to making that happen.
