Excellent interview! And I can see the SHEED resemblance and reference! If he and Hutch played at the same time it would be lights out. This man is a leader!
No matter who you are, if you come to Detroit and put in the work, we'll embrace, and love you; Smith won't replace Hutch, but as long as he puts in the work and makes a difference, we'll all love him no doubt!
@@CATCH22-313 Hutch was still this season’s NFL sack leader two weeks after his injury. Garrett will never know the passion Hutch brings to the game and the Lions.
Rachel did an amazing job interviewing Za'darius Smith! He does bring the Rasheed Wallace vibes to the Lions! And I will point out her feet game too she rocked the classic Michael Jackson's too! RIH to the true king of pop!
So glad Z is here man, when Hutch comes back, he is going to learn so much from Z, great fit, I just hope we keep playing well and make it all the way 🙏🏽
Practice, Practice. Can you hear what the focus is in Detroit it's Practice. Z's been on some good teams but was shocked about how Detroit Practice. We love that
Some of the comments that Z had made: "Practice feel like I played 4 quarters of football." Reference to Rasheed Wallace look a like : "Whatever the fans say I'll take it." Good interview and his energy is on fire. I believe it's a good fit for the team. THANK YOU BRAD HOLMES YOU THE BEST. LETS GO LIONS!!! BEAT JAGUARS!! 😀💯🩶💙🩶💙🦁💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥 #allgritdontquit 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Founded as WGPR-TV in 1975 by Dr. William V. Banks and the International Free and Accepted Modern Masons as an extension of WGPR (107.5 FM), channel 62 in Detroit was the first Black-owned television station in the continental United States. Though its ambitious early programming plans catering to the Black community were not entirely successful due to economic and financial limitations, the station still produced several locally notable shows and housed a fully-staffed news department. WGPR-TV helped launch the careers of multiple local and national Black television hosts and executives, including Pat Harvey, Shaun Robinson, Sharon Dahlonega Bush, and Amyre Makupson. The original studios for WGPR-TV, still in use by the radio station, have been preserved as a museum and recognized as a historical landmark with inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1994, when a major affiliation switch threatened to leave CBS without an affiliate in the Detroit market after multiple failures to secure a more successful station, the network bought WGPR-TV and dropped all existing programming in favor of CBS and syndicated programs, changing the call sign to WWJ-TV the following year. The station has made multiple unsuccessful attempts at producing local newscasts since becoming CBS-owned, and was regarded as little more than a "relay transmitter" for network programming despite technical upgrades and a 2000 merger into then-UPN affiliate WKBD. From assuming the affiliation in 1994 until 2001, from 2002 to 2009 and again from 2012 until 2023, WWJ-TV was the only station directly owned by any of the "Big Three" networks not to have any significant local news presence. A full news department, known as CBS News Detroit, began operation in January 2023 as an extension of CBS News's streaming service.
If there was ever a missing piece on Detroits defence a man that could help Hutch and one day play with him this is the man we needed without knowing we need, very happy he is here.....now go get that ring........
This dude came juiced ready to come back and play in the NFC North, and for the Lions. I really hope he brings a spark to the d-line we’ve been missing some edge pressure. Go get em Z 🔥🔥🔥
So proud of you, I'm sure your parents are as well. Jerome Harris would be proud of you as well he definitely exceeded his dream for us kids growing up at the Greenville Ala rec. Dunbar yes yes 🙌
This man has 5 sacks in 9 games already this season.He has almost more than anybody on the Lions not named Hutchison.Cmon man let me know u don’t football without saying.Plus his contract fit
I was like, "Hold on, am I STILL high from last night? When Z to the D was tdlking about first impressions of the squad...EDITING, MUCH? 😂 #lovethelions🦁 #ripmikeman #7mile😎
I see some people in these comments don’t know football really.This man has five sacks in nine games already this season. He would be second to Hutch.Not the same player he used to be but more than capable to be a star on this defensive line
Crazy enough they sign this guy and did not need him in a monumental comeback in Houston. Detroit needs to hit full momentum at playoff time as the refs start influencing the results to the Super Bowl.
Bro…the SHEED reference made it to the NEWS!!! We rock y’all!
Its destiny at this point. The stars align for a SB. Remember Sheed wore a KC hat at the press conference? They will be the opponent.

They’ve been doing this lately and I absolutely hate it. I can never finish a video this way until I get home smh
Hahahaha me too I just wasted 10 minutes of my life turning it on and off and reconnecting and all that
Same thing with Android auto audio. I thought I had a second audio app starting.
She’s a great interviewer
So happy that you're here Welcome to Detroit Its a great city with crazy fans Can't wait to see you play

You say that like Hutchinson Myles Garrett. Love how y'all put him on a pedestal. While he was looking good with McNeil and Reader on the line
@@CATCH22-313 Why would I not? Hutch was on pace to eclipse Myles Garrett's peak, and I'd take him over Garrett in a heartbeat lmao.

Damn, that ‘Sheed comment was spot on. I didn’t think about it before but that’s exactly who this guy reminds me of.
Man looks so similar to Rasheed Wallace. Same vibe, same eyes/eyebrows, similar beard
Born the same month too
Him and hutch bout to be like big ben and sheed. Its a beautiful thing.
So glad we brought him in
So glad Z is here man, when Hutch comes back, he is going to learn so much from Z, great fit, I just hope we keep playing well and make it all the way 🙏🏽
Love this dudes vibe man! Za’darius Smith,Welcome to Detroit bro!💙🩶⚡️💪⚡️👊⚡️
Practice, Practice. Can you hear what the focus is in Detroit it's Practice. Z's been on some good teams but was shocked about how Detroit Practice. We love that
His experience will be invaluable. Skill is definitely adequate to help the pass rush be effective.
Definitely a class act welcome to Detroit Mr. Smith!
The more I hear him talk the more I like this man. Great pick up. Go Lions!!!🎉🎉❤
U not the only one brother same here 🔥🔥

Welcome to Detroit Big Z, we’re all very excited to have you here doing what you do!!!
thats a lot of pressure big man , no worries
Guys, when the Lions win the Super Bowl the Sheed and Za'Darius comparisons will be legendary 😂
If there was ever a missing piece on Detroits defence a man that could help Hutch and one day play with him this is the man we needed without knowing we need, very happy he is here.....now go get that ring........
Great interview by Rachel Hopmayer. I can't wait to hear Ford Field if he gets a sack on Sunday versus the Jaguars!
Who?
WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. GREAT JOB!!
@ can you explain what was so “great” about it? I know you’re excited about a player but geez.
He did!
This dude came juiced ready to come back and play in the NFC North, and for the Lions. I really hope he brings a spark to the d-line we’ve been missing some edge pressure. Go get em Z 🔥🔥🔥
NEED TO SHOW BIG Z HOW LOUD FORD FIELD CANT BE!!
I’ll be there at the tunnel for his first game to let him know
Let's gooooo!! I can't wait to see you in the Honolulu blue Z! 🦁💙
Great interview so glad she brought to his attention the comparison between him and sheed. So excited to see him play tomorrow!
Can't say enough about this man, and how he fit's us!!!
Welcome to Detroit Za'Darius. Great first sack yesterday. Looking forward to seeing #99 in the opponent's backfield more often.
What a great pickup 😊❤🎉
this is a great interview but the audio is kinda off. i can really only hear it on the left side of my headphones
Thanks for saying something. I thought my phone was brokkkked lol
Go Lions!

King/Lord Za'Darius
So proud of you, I'm sure your parents are as well. Jerome Harris would be proud of you as well he definitely exceeded his dream for us kids growing up at the Greenville Ala rec. Dunbar yes yes 🙌
I said the same thing that Za'Darius Smith look like Rasheed Wallace a little bit 😂😂
I hope they send him out last out of the tunnel to hear ford field roar when they call his name out of the tunnel for the big intro!!!!
Wish I was gonna be there!!!
You get to be with us, instead :)
Welcome my bro let's go Lions
Great interview. I wish she would've asked if Z had an opportunity to work with Sewell, and what he thought about that.
What’s up the volume?
How many years has he been in the league?
That BB T-shirt is DOPE!!! 😂😂
why you recording in MONO audio
My left ear loves this interview
🦁
Great player he will help us out
Cleveland thank you for the trade I think he will live to his full potential in Detroit 😊
a one on one with a has been that will be cut at seasons end? scraping that barrel pretty deep. Was the water boy not available?
Man, that was harsh. Why don't you give the man his chance?
@@sgtfish49 GB, Ravens, vikings and browns already did. You should have gone all in with max or cole not kind of with smith.
This man has 5 sacks in 9 games already this season.He has almost more than anybody on the Lions not named Hutchison.Cmon man let me know u don’t football without saying.Plus his contract fit
99 is a number people will remember.

Lots of history
He’s going to help fo sho!
99, LET'S GO!
I like this man. Have fun Z.
Dude has no idea what he's in for when they announce his name out of the tunnel. I hope he brought hearing protection

Almost sounds like a future Lions position coach right there.
The yr 10 3 pro bowl 🚀🚀🚀. It's weird how this happen. Hutch might be back in time for the real fun. Talk bout bad situations coming out twice as good.
