I'm not a big power-and-strength guy, but I have a lot of balance, and I can take hits and stay on my feet. I control myself real good, shift my weight, and run real low. I do things that people haven't seen some of the running backs in the league do.
I didn't always walk that straight line. I'm not going to say that I'm an angel. But I made some right decisions along the way.
If Russell Wilson wins this game... He starts to creep into the conversation of how we talk about Tom Brady, how we talk about Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers.
The disconnect between [offensive coordinator] Todd Haley and [quarterback] Ben Roethlisberger is so blatant you can just see it.
Today, the Ravens answered: What is our identity? 'We are the same old team. We can play the same style of football.
When things are not going right, where are the leaders to pull this team together? That leadership sometimes, you just can’t find it. If one of your leaders is the guy who throws five interceptions [in one game], you have an issue.
I think as a kid I never really understood the magnitude of a hurricane and what it could do.
There's no fast track, no easy track, especially from where I came from. You try to take the most of it and learn from it and hope others learn from it. That's what it is about.
Knowledge relaxes me. Football is all about playing faster. You play faster when you know more.
My vision is my best attribute. I can see everything.
If you understand what the other team is trying to do to stop you, it makes your job easier.
You have to understand that although it's a game and it's my career and it's my life and it provides a living for me and my family, it's a business to the people who own it.
What makes me laugh is how people are saying he let his team down, ... How many times does a coach get rid of a player right before the season, and that player is left with nothing? Players want to know, How come you got rid of guys who could have helped us, over and over? That's letting your team down.
What do you do? What are you supposed to do?
