Transcript
00:00That was scary, but I mean, he's good though.
00:03Checked up on him and yeah, like, yeah, he's good.
00:06He's good. That's the main thing.
00:07I was just, I don't care about the play, nothing else.
00:09I was checking up on him.
00:10What went through your mind and what did you say to him?
00:12Because you were the first one to run over him.
00:13Yeah, I didn't know what happened.
00:14I just saw him on the ground.
00:15So I was just like, yo, like, are you good?
00:19You know, I was just trying to make sure he was good.
00:21Next play, nothing like that matters at all at that point.
00:24Did he say he was good or he didn't know at that point?
00:25Yeah, he's good. He's good.
00:26He said right away, he was like, I'm doing good.
00:28Yeah, yeah.
00:29A little bit of a midair collision made Smith kind of twisted his hips.
00:35Did it feel like that?
00:36Nah, it didn't feel like that.
00:37That's why I didn't know what happened.
00:38I just saw him on the ground.
00:39I got to watch the film.
00:42But, you know, like I said, he said he's good.
00:43Checked up on him, he's good.
00:44Where does Jamar rank on the guys?
00:46Did he have a 14-year-old in the week one?
00:48You can answer that question.
00:50You know, we can't lose him.
00:53How thankful are you?
00:55How comfortable are you to know that he is okay?
00:56Oh, yeah, that's huge.
00:58That was the main focus.
00:59And like I said, then next period I ran over there to make sure he was good.
01:02And he said he's good, too.
01:03So, you know, we all good.
01:06So, you know, we're good.
01:07We can breathe.
01:08Everybody can breathe.
01:08Jamar told us it's a football play and pre-cax and it's happening.
01:12Yeah.
01:13Is that the way you kind of feel about it, too?
01:14Yeah, yeah.
01:15Like I said, just one of the things, you're playing football and stuff happens.
01:20You know what I mean?
01:21Stuff happens.
01:21But, like I said, it was a good pro play.
01:23Like, we both tried to stay up.
01:26Nothing crazy happened, you know.
01:27So, it was just one of the things.
01:29We're playing football.
01:30He gets shook up.
01:30But he's good, though.
01:32You all are out there battling every day, one-on-one, you and him.
01:36But he goes down and you're the first one over there.
01:38What's that say about the ability for this team to, like,
01:43get through the day-to-day battles and still be a team?
01:45Oh, yeah.
01:46No, that's – we only getting each other better.
01:48That's all that is.
01:50You know, so we're going to say, you know, that's my brother.
01:53So, you know, we're just getting better.
01:54That's all that is.
01:55You pulled me to the ground on a play.
01:57What was going on there?
01:59Football.
02:01So, nothing led up to that?
02:03Just playing football.
02:05Tell me, Scott, you seen Dante Myers running the Lions?
02:07Yeah.
02:08What did you get at Dante?
02:10Nah, yeah, I like him.
02:11He's doing real well.
02:13He's doing real well.
02:14He's got good speed, good routes.
02:16I'm impressed.
02:17I'm real big impressed with him.
02:18And, you know, I'm just happy to see him.
02:19You know, now he's getting in his groove, so I like it.
02:22Seems like he's different from the other guys in the receiver.
02:25You know, different styles.
02:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:28Yeah, for sure.
02:30Like I said, I'm just happy for him.
02:31I just have the opportunity for him he has right now.
02:34He looks real good.
02:35Just overall, like I said, he's a different type of receiver.
02:38So, you know, real good, real positive.
02:40Did he make an impression on you early?
02:42Yeah.
02:43Like, he's definitely – and I went up and told him.
02:45I said, you look real good.
02:47So, no, he's looked real good.
02:48When did you do that?
02:49What did you tell him that?
02:51I did today.
02:52And then I did, like, probably a couple days ago, last week.
02:56I went up to him and told him he looked good.
02:58I think you said he wanted him.
02:59You said he wanted him.
03:00He can run.
03:02I guess you never really know until you get into a situation like that.
03:05Yeah, yeah, no, for sure.
03:06Yeah, he got the speed on him for sure.
03:08He looked real good.
03:09Josh Johnson said that he had the quarterback room buzzing
03:12and talking about him all the way back in the spring.
03:14Was it kind of the same for you guys?
03:15Like, you know, described – you might not have said something to him.
03:18It's different for us in OTAs.
03:21Like, it's much different.
03:22We don't press.
03:23And so it's much different.
03:25But camp, for sure.
03:26For sure.
03:27Are you feeling that's your own preparation for the season?
03:30You know, not only through the first two season games,
03:33you guys practice, you probably have plans.
03:35Yeah, good.
03:36Like I said, I found my groove now.
03:38I found my flow, what I need to do, get my body right, mental right.
03:41So I'm good now.
03:42Just, you know, just getting better every day.
03:45It looked like Amy Yosin stepped up when Jermaine went down.
03:49Yeah, for sure.
03:49He had some good reps.
03:50Yeah, for sure.
03:50I'm happy for that, too.
03:52He looked good today.
03:53He looked good today.
03:53You know, I think – what do you think makes him effective?
03:58His size and speed.
04:00That's his biggest thing.
04:01Like, a lot of people that his size don't have his speed.
04:04So, you know, that's his thing.
04:06That's his ability.
04:06It looked like he had a pretty good rep against you.
04:08Oh, just like me?
04:09Yeah.
04:10Probably.
04:10I don't even know which rep you're talking about.
04:11But, you know, yeah, we've been going out.
04:12He's been going out for sure.
