Once we get through the mental part and get on the field, it will be fun. We don't have any Monday night or Sunday night games this year, so it's a chance to take advantage of the national attention and make a name for ourselves.
After getting my blood tested and having a nutritionist show me exactly which foods work best as fuel for me, I can feel the machine working efficiently, my body grabbing at the food after workouts.
They spent the No. 2 pick on him for a reason.
I talk to Ronnie two or three times a week,
I think it was good enough to help us win. We need to keep it in that frame of mind. I was able to get the ball a little more. The biggest thing for the running game is rhythm. When you convert third downs, you can sustain rhythm.
It gives the defense a problem covering both of us, ... I like it.
He's got size, quickness, great feet. He's smart. He's strong. I mean, looking at him, I definitely see why they used the No. 2 pick on him.
He seems like a very open person. He was open to me. A lot of people would think that it would be hard to trust me in a situation, and he's been very trusting of me. So that definitely had a lot to do with me coming back.
He's going to be really good, ... He's big, he's fast, he's strong, and I think his best attribute is his mind is really sharp.
We talked before the game and I wished him good luck, ... It was good to see him out there.
I just don't want to be in this business anymore," Williams told the paper. "I was never strong enough to not play football, but I'm strong enough now. I've considered everything about this. Everyone has thrown every possible scenario at me about why I shouldn't do this, but they're in denial. I'm happy with my decision. I'm finally free. I can't remember ever being this happy.
It's no less than it's ever been. What's in your heart, that doesn't change.
Anytime you keep hearing the same thing over and over again, you start to believe it.
I really don't have an expectation. I found that expectations really get in the way. I don't make that choice. I don't decide how many carries I will have, therefore it's pointless for me to have expectations about it.
