[Davis is] another good back, and I'm just here to spot him coming off the injury and everything. We're just taking it easy and going from there. [Third down] has been my role right now. But Stephen Davis is a good back and I just try to, whenever they get me in there, answer the call. |
A lot of people may look at the situation and say it's not so good, but it's great,'' Davis says. |
A lot of teams, a situation like the one me and Stephen are in would be a problem or a distraction, |
Coach [John Fox] let me know that Stephen was down and it was going to be on my shoulders, me and Rod [Smart]. We just wanted to answer the call and keep on going ... I always knew in the back of my mind I was going to be all right. But it was tough, just coming off it. You've just got to stay positive and go from there. |
Eat up the clock! |
Everybody wants to start. But you should do what's in the best interest of the team and go from there. It's not an individual sport. Only one running back can be out there at a time. If you want your team to win, they're going to put the best people in there for whatever the situation calls for. I want to win a championship. It's not about individual stats. |
He's one of our leaders. He's going to bounce back, |
He's very motivated. There is a little more motivation for him to show he's not done. |
I don't think they thought we would really run the ball against them, but we established it early. It was just wide open. I got right to the second level, early. If I can get to the second level, I can make things happen. |
I just shoot it up and get ready to go. |
I still think we're going to get something done. |
I think we're pretty good at it. I can remember a few times when the play-action has sucked up a safety. |
I was just trying to make a play, really. He had a good grab on me. I was just trying to run as hard as I could and stiff arm him as long as I could. |
I'm good. I'll be ready. It's nothing at all. |
If I know I'm just going to get one carry, I'll have the same confidence if I'll get 30 carries. I'm the same way no matter what. We rotate when we're in there anyway. I've been in that situation the whole year. This game he just got hurt and I had to step it up. It was a playoff game, so it may have been a little bigger. |
