When a new guy comes in, I want to check him out and see how he is, see how his attitude is, see if he's willing to be one of us the way we are in this locker room.

His style of running is the way I think a running back should run, ... With power, hitting the holes and dragging people 5 extra yards. That's the type of running back I admire. When he came here I was happy about it. I know he's had some troubles in the past, but things are going right for him now and I'm happy to see him hit this milestone.

Has it ever been this quiet in here? I don't think it has, ... I think 'shocked' is the word. ... You sort of just shake your head and ask yourself, 'Why?'

I wouldn't be standing here in front of you if I didn't think I could play football, ... I know my physical abilities are here. I think my 10 years of experience will help also. I know what it looks like, I know how to react to it, just from experience.
