TE Jonnu Smith

(Could you have learned the offense in two weeks?) – “Could I have learned the – from the quarterback position, I don’t know man. I don’t know; that’s a different ball game right there, you know what I mean? At the tight end position, you’re looking at between one and three spots. So obviously, the offense changes when you got to know protections, run game, pass game, where each individual receiver is, knowing hots, knowing your offensive linemen adjustments and sliding. There’s a lot of intricacies that go into being a quarterback in an NFL offense, man – especially this one. So ‘Snoop’ (Tyler Huntley) is grabbing it like this. (snaps) Again, like I said before, I’m excited about this weekend.”

(Do you know how long it’s been since a tight end scored a touchdown for this team?) – “I don’t. I don’t, I don’t.”

(It didn’t happen in 2023.) – “It didn’t happen in 2023? Well, it’s going to happen in 2024, it’ll happen. It’ll happen.”

(Has it just felt like after implementing so much into this offense in training camp that you just haven’t gotten around to it?) – “Yeah, I mean it’s a lot that we didn’t get to. Again, obviously this is a long, long season, man and it’s early. The most important thing, like I said earlier, is we got to fill up that win column and we got to do that however the playbook goes my way or not. I understand it’s a different theme every week. So I just got to continue to be the best version of myself every snap, every play for all quarters, however many quarters we’re out there for. So I’m just continuing to be the guy that I’m here to be.”

(What’s the feedback you’ve received on other aspects of your game? Blocking maybe when you are asked to do that?) – “Obviously, there’s things that we can improve on. But listen, we’re 1-3 right now. There’s not a lot of hoorahs going around in the building about each individual performance. We’re just trying to get better as a team and trying to figure out where we need to improve.”
