carries games gotten job nfl run victory win
I have said it before, 23 to 26 carries and I've gotten the job done. And if you look at our record, 1-4, our one victory was 26 for 126. To win games in the NFL you have to run the ball.
coming hurt penalties
That's something I'm not used to. Coming from New York, one of the least-penalized teams, I learned: Penalties hurt you.
concerned four run three trying work
I was so concerned with trying to make the big run that I didn't nitpick to get the three or four yards. That's something I have to work on.
fan field looked walking yelled
As I was walking off the field and looked up at the scoreboard, a fan yelled out, 'Wow ... 21 yards,'
call came time year
Let's just call it what it is: We came out flat. We're not going to the playoffs. It's the first time all year I can say that.
hate nfl quite sit team year
I would hate for us to sit here at the end of the year and say we were the most underachieving team in the NFL because if we don't make it to the playoffs, we will be the most underachieving team in the league. And quite frankly, it will be an embarrassment.
guy looked might negative outcast personal
I don't think the guy should be looked at as an outcast or be looked at in a negative way because of some personal things that might have happened,
beat best feeling felt field good last leave near nowhere smile stadium victory walk
It's the best I've felt after a game, that's for sure. It's a good feeling getting a victory. I'm nowhere near as beat up as I was last week, and I feel pretty good that I can walk off the field and leave the stadium with a smile on my face.
front learned maturity player sit somebody understood
I've learned that it's one thing for a young player to have somebody like that in front of him. It's another thing for you to have the maturity to sit back and actually learn and not be selfish. I had it right away, because I understood my situation.
bring brought fan field good looked running saw scoreboard walking yards yelled
As I was walking off the field, I looked up at the scoreboard and a fan yelled out, 'Wow, 21 yards!' And I looked and saw we only had 21 yards rushing. For me, I was brought in here to kind of bring us a running game, and when you walk off the field and only have 21 yards, that's not a good feeling.

One magazine had me finishing with 975 yards,
continue deep dig expect hole people plans team week
Are we going to get out of this hole and get back to being the team that people expect us to be? Or are we going to continue to dig deep and come Week 9 or 10, we're making plans for the holidays? I don't plan on doing that.
contract
My contract doesn't say I'm that kind of runner,
changing coming league lost minimize news rest team thinks
That's one thing I'm not used to coming from New York. I got news for the rest of the league. That team (the Patriots) is not changing. If the league thinks that team is changing because it lost two coordinators, it isn't. They minimize mistakes. That's something we've got to do.
