I don't have to go to the weight room. I don't have to go work out if I don't want to.
There's been a lot of situations that it's been right for me to be able to score. It kind of worked out for me,
He was hoping things got worked out. Hopefully things still get worked out. We obviously need him, but it is a business first and if Antonio is not here we are going to have to hold the fort down until he gets back.
I really get my work in practice. Preseason is not really where I need to get in a rhythm. Obviously it helps some; that was some (help) out there. It felt good to stretch them legs with the ball in my hand.
I really get my work in practice. Preseason games are not where I need to get in rhythm. It helps to play some preseason. There was some right there today.

During fall camp, Fran came to me and told me he wanted me to play fullback, ... I said, 'Sure, Fran, I'll do it.' Basil had a couple good games, and when they did move me back to tailback, there was no way I was going to be the starter because he'd been playing so well.
Sapp still likes to get after you and he likes to talk to you while he's doing it. I know I have somebody to talk to on the field. It's always interesting the things he says out there.
