You can't have enough good running backs.
Coming up, I thought Barry Sanders was the best running back ever.
My knee was torn up. I tore every ligament in my knee. It was a very, very bad injury. I had to do what the doctors told me to do, and I did that. The next year, I came back and led the league in rushing.
Anytime we can get the running game going it is a plus for me and it makes my job a lot easier.
At some point, you're not going to be able to run the ball for 180 yards, even with the best running back in the NFL. That's when you have to be able to throw the ball.
I think first and foremost, you've got to be able to run the football to be successful in college football. Some teams have thrown the ball 60 times a game and had success doing that. But I think you've got to be able to run the football to have success.
I've always liked Jordan Howard and what he's done in his young career. He's one of the top running backs, when you look at some of the production numbers.
I feel that a lot of people say that your best passing attack is having a good run game. I couldn't agree more with that.
I love Le'Veon Bell.
At USC, if you're running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.
Anytime you've got a good running back, it will help your passing game.
I am a fan of Cam Newton. I love watching him play the game. He is an unbelievable talent: throwing the football, running the football.
I'm negative-three yards in the rushing department. Nobody wants to go out with negative-three yards rushing.
I would sacrifice 1,000 yards rushing to win a Super Bowl. But I want to be the first back to have back-to-back 2,000-yard seasons.
I think Jalen Hurts is consistent enough.
Every running back has their own strengths and weaknesses. There are some that are better as pass receivers. There are some that are better inside, tight zones and mid zones and outside zones.
And so, it's not a thing of how many carries, but were you effective when you did carry.
Back in the day, a lot of running backs used to be 230 pounds, ground and pound the ball right up the middle. One thing I pride myself is being able to do what those guys do, as well.
There's a general feeling if you take the cut block out of the game, then you're going to significantly impact the run game.
I told Clinton I want him to rush for 2,000 yards. And I want our team to go to the Super Bowl and win it. I've been there and not won it. It's really simple for me. You get stats, fame and fortune, but if you don't end up with the ring you're never satisfied.
Aaron Rodgers is going to spell ‘relax’ with R-U-N…You’re going to see a lot of Eddie Lacy.
Curtis Martin is as humble as heck. He's one of the greatest running backs to ever play - over 14,000 career rushing yards - and a lot of people don't speak about that.
