hitting nfl powerful running says slap somebody starting sure
For me to be a starting running back in the NFL and somebody says that I could play 16 games, but I won't get 1,000 yards, for me I look at it as a slap in the face. That's one of those slaps where I say, 'OK, you can slap me once. But at the end of the season, I want to make sure I'm hitting you back with a powerful punch.'
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.

against ball capable defense encourage forever run running saying teams test today true
I will forever look at it as teams saying we can't run the ball, ... I encourage defenses to play that way. If you play two-deep defense against us with the way we're capable of running the ball ... we are going to run the ball down your throat. I think today was a true test of that.
ball feeling field hands job running team trusts
I'm always going to come off the field feeling like if we don't do well running the ball that it's my fault. That's just it. The team trusts me with the ball in my hands and to go out and make plays, and it's my job to go out there and make plays.
considered elite finish front guarantee held points team top
When you get on top of a team, you have to finish them off. I guarantee you that a team like the Patriots or Colts, if they got out in front like we did, they probably would have put up 40 or 50 points and held them, and it wouldn't have even been a game. If we want to be considered an elite team, when we've got a team down like that, we've got to finish them early.
held job realize step
We've done enough talking. What we have to do now is step up, be held accountable, realize we're professional athletes, that we have a job to do, and we have to go out there and do it,

minimize penalty stop team
We just keep getting penalty after penalty. ... If we can minimize those things, then I don't see a team out there that can stop us. That's why I say it's really all about us.

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.
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.
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.
