Football was a game that had kicked me around pretty good for a few years. I almost called him and said, 'Hey look, this isn't for me. I'm going to move on with my life.

Cut blocking is not fair, it's going after the legs. It would be the same thing if in NASCAR you were able to shoot people's tires out.

If you look at the film like we did this morning, he's making more plays after the first and second hit. He just seems to squirm out of there and when guys kind of relax, he pops out of there for 30, 40 more yards. He just never stops. You admire that in a back. When we get people to him, we're going to make sure we get him on the ground and nobody relaxes until he is.

You win football games by stopping the run and 1,800 yards this year is definitely a priority for us. He's their leader. They look to him for big plays and if you can stop him, they have to look to more places and put more pressure on the other guys.

It's a good feeling to go out and play like we did. So many guys made so many plays today. We gave the offense good position to punch that ball in.

It's going to be interesting. They have a great team. Some great weapons on offense and their defense speaks for itself. We're going to have to prepare this week with the same sense of pride and purpose that we had this week to play a good game in New York.
