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.
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.
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.
bring brought fan field good looked running saw scoreboard walking yards yelled
As I was walking off the field, I looked up at the scoreboard and a fan yelled out, 'Wow, 21 yards!' And I looked and saw we only had 21 yards rushing. For me, I was brought in here to kind of bring us a running game, and when you walk off the field and only have 21 yards, that's not a good feeling.
against ball capable defense encourage forever run running saying teams test today true
I will forever look at it as teams saying we can't run the ball, ... I encourage defenses to play that way. If you play two-deep defense against us with the way we're capable of running the ball ... we are going to run the ball down your throat. I think today was a true test of that.
hitting nfl powerful running says slap somebody starting sure
For me to be a starting running back in the NFL and somebody says that I could play 16 games, but I won't get 1,000 yards, for me I look at it as a slap in the face. That's one of those slaps where I say, 'OK, you can slap me once. But at the end of the season, I want to make sure I'm hitting you back with a powerful punch.'
carries games gotten job nfl run victory win
I have said it before, 23 to 26 carries and I've gotten the job done. And if you look at our record, 1-4, our one victory was 26 for 126. To win games in the NFL you have to run the ball.
against ball everybody game obvious order run throw win
In order to win in the NFL, you have to be able to run the ball, ... I think it's very obvious that we can pretty much throw the ball against everybody we play. It's just up to us now (to get) our run game going.
fact ground hold kept run side soft telling
Honestly, I kept telling myself it was something that wouldn't hold Curtis (Martin) out. I think the fact the ground (at the Coliseum) was so soft I could run on the side of my foot. So it was just one of those things.
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,
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.
game win
If we get that touchdown, we win the game.
