I really don't look at comparing things that way because even in a 14-game season, there could be a running back who could have a lot more carries than other running backs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every guy has different strengths in the NFL. Receivers are different, running backs are different, but they all have that one thing that they do that's special: that thing that keeps them on the roster every year.
To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.
Every quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about translates into competitiveness.
I have never believed in comparisons, whether they are about different eras, players or coaches.
I am a better running back every time I step on the field. I try to get better each game, each summer, each season.
It's difficult to compare coaches. You really can't compare them.
It's grossly unfair to judge Walter Payton solely on the yards he gains. He is a complete football player, better than Jim Brown, better than O.J. Simpson.
You see somebody on a football field make a great, athletic 70-yard run, but the athleticism is immeasurable. It's undoubtedly athletic, but compared to somebody else who did something else, how do you compare it? That's the great part of track and field. It's a test, but with results that you can compare to others.
We feel good about our running backs as we have them right now, and we will continue to see how they progress.
You can't put a running back in there and have him not know who to pick up. You can't get your quarterback hit.
