front learned maturity player sit somebody understood
I've learned that it's one thing for a young player to have somebody like that in front of him. It's another thing for you to have the maturity to sit back and actually learn and not be selfish. I had it right away, because I understood my situation.
ball beating drives field finish move week
Like I say every week when we lose, we move the ball up and down the field on teams, but we just can't finish the drives because we end up beating ourselves.
held job realize step
We've done enough talking. What we have to do now is step up, be held accountable, realize we're professional athletes, that we have a job to do, and we have to go out there and do it,
concerned four run three trying work
I was so concerned with trying to make the big run that I didn't nitpick to get the three or four yards. That's something I have to work on.
hate nfl quite sit team year
I would hate for us to sit here at the end of the year and say we were the most underachieving team in the NFL because if we don't make it to the playoffs, we will be the most underachieving team in the league. And quite frankly, it will be an embarrassment.

If we get that touchdown, we win the game.

My contract doesn't say I'm that kind of runner,
considered held last time
We're considered a high-powered offense. Last time I checked, high-powered offenses don't get held to (20) points.
call came time year
Let's just call it what it is: We came out flat. We're not going to the playoffs. It's the first time all year I can say that.
ball feeling field hands job running team trusts
I'm always going to come off the field feeling like if we don't do well running the ball that it's my fault. That's just it. The team trusts me with the ball in my hands and to go out and make plays, and it's my job to go out there and make plays.
minimize penalty stop team
We just keep getting penalty after penalty. ... If we can minimize those things, then I don't see a team out there that can stop us. That's why I say it's really all about us.
across bad emotion expect fast field guy guys hard impressed job media negative plays practice runs seems shows situation teammates tremendous walked
You guys (in the media) have done a tremendous job of making him look like a bad guy. But I've been most impressed by Randy. I didn't know what to expect because I didn't know him. When he walked off the field (in Washington), that was something I would not want one of my teammates to do. But I also don't know what the situation was in Minnesota. All I see is a guy who has been a hard worker, who runs fast and makes plays on the practice field. He shows a lot of emotion on the field; he seems to be all about winning. He doesn't come across as an outcast. He doesn't come across in a negative way.
considered elite finish front guarantee held points team top
When you get on top of a team, you have to finish them off. I guarantee you that a team like the Patriots or Colts, if they got out in front like we did, they probably would have put up 40 or 50 points and held them, and it wouldn't have even been a game. If we want to be considered an elite team, when we've got a team down like that, we've got to finish them early.
