If you understand what the other team is trying to do to stop you, it makes your job easier.
My vision is my best attribute. I can see everything.
Knowledge relaxes me. Football is all about playing faster. You play faster when you know more.
Once the game begins, I play to that song in my head. I run to rhythm, and that allows my mind to be free.
Going in is really more of an acknowledgment that kids in poverty, in their situations, can get out of it, and it doesn't always come from sports.
There's no fast track, no easy track, especially from where I came from. You try to take the most of it and learn from it and hope others learn from it. That's what it is about.
Once it's in you to being a starter, you always want to be that. But you understand the circumstances and you understand what you can and can't do. And that's the reality of it.
I think as a kid I never really understood the magnitude of a hurricane and what it could do.
When things are not going right, where are the leaders to pull this team together? That leadership sometimes, you just can’t find it. If one of your leaders is the guy who throws five interceptions [in one game], you have an issue.
If [the Packers] can protect Aaron Rodgers and allow him to throw the ball down the field this game will not even be a contest. But if they do not, and Minnesota can come in here and run the football, we are going to have ourselves a good game tonight.
Certain guys are like relief pitchers; they come off the bench, they don’t know when they’re playing – you come in and you just go. Certain guys, they like to start; they like to start the game and play. I believe Kirk Cousins is a reliever. I don’t know if he’s a starter.
When a team tells you we’re going to let you get your option regardless if you get it or not, that’s a message to you as to what you need to do in order to make this team or to be on this team next year.
Ozzie Newsome hit a home run by drafting Bernard Pierce. He is a great compliment to Ray Rice.
Today, the Ravens answered: What is our identity? 'We are the same old team. We can play the same style of football.
