To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.

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 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.

Any time you get a new running back, whether it's a rookie or hasn't played a lot, that's the first thing you test, is their pass protection. That's big.

I feel like by me putting on a couple more pounds will help my game tremendously. Putting on 10-15 pounds will help me stop the run better and be a more dominant pass rusher.

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 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.

To win those big games you're going to have to complete some third-down passes, you're going to have to be able to get some explosive games in the passing game.

I think because I am a proven rookie that it is going to help me in the long run.
