Running Play Quotes

There's obviously a push to protect the quarterback, but you have to give the defensive players a chance. All of the quarterback has to do is pull the ball, and he's a runner. How's the defender going to know if the ball is pulled or not?

In football, when I break the line of scrimmage, I see a player in front of me, a defender, and already in my head I'm thinking, 'I'm going to make him miss.' So I'm already looking at the next defender like, 'OK, how can I set this guy up to get him out of position, too?'

On one-on-one, I'm either trying to get the first down or trying to score.

A lot of times I did lose yards on a run, but it wasn't for lack of trying.

Sometimes a 1-yard gain on third-and-1 is a big play. People take that for granted.

It took him 75 steps to get from third to home. I thought we were going to have to go out there and help him. A lot of players start thinking double then maybe wind up with a triple because the outfielder slips.

When we're able to get stops, get the ball off the glass and run, you never know who's going to get the ball. Everyone takes off, runs to their spots, and the ball just finds the open man.

I have no problem lining up running back, tight end, or fullback.

Some running backs do different things to get away. My move is to spin.

As a running back, it takes five offensive linemen, a tight end, a fullback and possibly two wide receivers, in order to make my job successful.

As long as I can stay north or south, I'm gaining yards.

To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.
