That's what we really mean by being feared on the football field. And not actually the player that fears him, it's the offensive coordinator that fears him or the running backs coach.
Sitting back and observing and being away like I was kind of made me appreciate the better things in life and the smaller things in life that I took for granted in the past, ... I am more focused.
Luckily, I have the good fortune of being on the same team as Ray Lewis. I don't have to face him on Sunday.
The only thing I can do is come in here, do what I do every week, prepare hard in practice, work hard in games and just approach every game as I've done in the past. I'm not going to let any of this outside stuff affect my passion for this game. I love this game, I play for the fun of it. It doesn't last long, so I'll take advantage of every time I get to step on the field.
We've just got to look at the film, correct our mistakes and that's it. I don't really know what happened. We just got to go to work next week and correct our mistakes.
I got done what I needed to get done. I was able to get in there with my fullback and get everything down, really take some hits. I haven't done that since last season.
He might be a little more aggressive with us. Just in training camp and practice, I think he's going to put his foot down a little more.
Just watching them on film from last week, they looked like a totally different defense.
I'm not a bad person. It's just me moving forward. I'm not looking back on the past and the things I just went through. My next step is really just prove people wrong, the people that doubt me and think I'm not in the shape I'm supposed to be.
I know there's going to be a lot of people out there anxious to see me fail or whatever, so they can say he's not going to be the same or he's going to be a little slower, maybe he's lost a step. I'm not going to feed into that.
I'll touch the field when Jamal Lewis is ready. I guarantee you I'll be out there Sept. 11.
If he's getting more carries or if he's getting more time, it doesn't bother me because I've proven what I can do. The only thing that does is just keep me fresher and keep me going.
I'm back doing what I like to do, doing what I do best,
He's one of those multipurpose backs. He can play fullback and he can play tailback. He's a good asset to this team and I will love to play with him.
