I remember my mistakes more than my success.
I understand that my son loves me and I love him, and everything just really got blown out of proportion, and I'm OK with that. I'm still here. My son is around me all the time. At the end of the day he still loves me and I love him, so it is what it is.
I dedicate myself and work hard in the weight room and treat every practice as if it were a game.
Adversity makes me hungrier. I thrive on being able to make a way out of No Way.
Thank you to my family, my fans and fans of other teams for their support. The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players. God Bless everyone and thank u so much,
They had some pressure. Any time you are facing pressure, it forces you to break your routes off. After that, we settled down and got it going.
There was no doubt in my mind that we were going to get it, ... The guys out there, they were going to bust their butts for that one yard, and we got it. We got more. We got the touchdown.
A couple of those games we lost, we shouldn't have. Cleveland, Washington . . .
I run to daylight when I see an opening,
I get upset because I'm competitive. But quit and walk off that team? That's loony.
If we run well, and that's their main focus ? stopping the run ? it forces them to change up (their game plan).
I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm just going to go in with the same approach every week. If I get a series, I'm going to take that. If I get four or five, I'm going to take that.
I don't know how you prepare for him. You have to pay notice to what he is. The game plan is different with each running back. We have to know which tailback is in the game.
I'm feeling good now, as good as I have in two months.
