We've got to be better stopping the run. Our defense against the run and on third down was atrocious. That has to improve.

backs ball beating chasing easy faster game guys hand history love running stronger time
Running backs take a beating because the guys chasing them are bigger, stronger and faster than at any time in the history of the game. I'd love to have a guy you can hand the ball 25 times a game and he'd always get 100 yards, but that's not an easy thing these days.

He played a great football game. He tackled, he covered. He played his heart out. I would like more of them (opposing players) not to get to him, particularly in the running game, but it is good when he's flying around and getting to the ball. Not only did he tackle, but he put hits on people and was a very physical corner. We need that.

I don't think he would've agreed to it if he wouldn't come out and play more than a minor role.
