To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Defensive backs are the best players on the field. But when you get an exceptional player like a Deion Sanders or a Darrell Green - these guys are fast and they have very good technique. You have to work a little harder.
I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season.
I think the running game is very important to every offense. Being balanced is extremely important. There's times where you have to throw the ball. You could be down late in the game, you need to come back; you have to be able to pass it when they know you're passing it.
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.
Young quarterbacks do well because they have a great defense.
I'm a running coach and I am going to continue to run, but I would hope that we are better defensively.
I like every aspect of defense; I enjoy shutting down the offense.
I think I've got an outstanding defensive assistant staff that's really going to help us have consistent, strong defenses. And offensively, we have an excellent staff. We've got some younger guys on offense, but that's what I coach and have my entire coaching career.
The type of athletes we draft still need types of versatility on the defense side of the ball, run the offense. You should still be concerned on the offense side of the ball.
Anytime you've got a good running back, it will help your passing game.
