Fullbacks usually look where they're going because they've got a big block to make. That's something you learn in Pop Warner: to read the back's eyes (before the snap). |
He was just incredible. In six months, he won Australian championships -- he had phenomenal power and leg speed and his attitude even then was fight, fight, fight. He just went head in, straight away. |
He's a smart guy. He's getting better every time he lines up. But he's still got some growing to do, and hopefully we can stunt some of his growth this week. |
He's an incredible running back. Everybody's got to be in the place they're supposed to be if you're going to stop him. |
He's been well coached, in college as well as on our team, ... We all get together and help him out, and he's grasped the system fairly fast. I'm excited for where he's headed. |
He's the best in the league. Everyone knows that. |
I can't put my finger on what we need or how many players we need -- I think we have the players here to get it done. There needs to an attitude thing that needs to be adjusted somewhat. But I love the character of this team. And I'll never turn away from that. |
I can't put my finger on what we need. We have enough players here to get it done. |
I didn't care what anybody thought. I knew there were going to be some who believed me and some who didn't. But for the most part I think everybody bought in and thought we could be a special team. And we're going to be. |
I think he did what he could. Ultimately, everybody involved didn't get it done. |
I think he did what he could. Ultimately, everybody involved didn't get it done. Unfortunately, this is a production-based business and if you're not winning the weight falls on someone. |
I think those injuries actually brought us closer. It made us understand that we're one play from having a new guy line up on the field with us. All the young guys, they are like sponges. They listen to everything that we have to offer and all the advice we have. Learning the scheme is most important, and they have done that. |
I'm excited about having a coach. I'm even more excited having a former Raiders player as coach. He has been in that locker room, played for that owner and knows what it's like to be in silver and black. |
I'm extremely excited. I don't see too many problems with the way the CBA was run the past 13 years. Now, it benefits the players as well as the owners. Nobody wanted to see it go the other way. Everybody benefits. I'm excited about it getting done. I was confident everybody would get it done in time. Better late than never. |
It's fun getting after a guy of such high status in this league. He comes from a great bloodline. Any time you line up against Peyton or Eli, you kind of want to step your game up. He's a darn good player and we look forward to getting after him a little bit. |
