It wasn't a revenge game or a get-back game, because that was a long time ago. This was just a big win for us.
I really lost vision of the guy and it's on me.
He hasn't lost his vision. That's one thing. He's good. The guy is smooth and knows how to set up blocks. He's a veteran, too. It's fun to watch him run. Hopefully everything works out all right physically, but certainly he looks good so far.
The great thing our coaches do, we put him in different formations. We kind of motion him around, we try to create opportunities for him. A lot of teams have rolled to him and taken two guys to cover him. When you can take two guys out with one, you need to be able to run the football.
A great atmosphere. If you were on the other side.
You turn on film and he produces. I don't understand him not being drafted, but I'm not a scout. The combine to me, I don't know -- just turn on the tape. I don't think you need a combine.
The coaches saw something before the game and alerted me we were going to go the other way with it.
