Alexander also spoke about just how much Smith meant to the offensive unit, even though his stats might not have been the most impressive at first glance.

"He definitely was the glue for a lot of things we did offensively," Alexander explained. "He was a great piece to this offense, and we're going to have to find ways to do the same things. It's going to take a collective effort to do the things he did, and so we're definitely going to find a way to do it, just like we find a way to do everything we've done this season so far on the offense line with guys going down and stuff. It's something that we're going to have to work for, and put the work in to do."

"He was that guy, that you probably wouldn't see him," added running back Jalen Richard. "It was almost kind of like how the linemen don't get too much flashiness. They're down there in the trenches, working hard, and making the little things work, so that the guys like us who most of the time get most of the love, make us look good. Like I said, he took that with pride, and he would do the little, gritty things, do the dirty work, and again, we're just looking for the next guy to step up and fill the void."
