On his mindset when he carries the ball…
What goes through my head, it's pretty much just like, “Don't let the first guy tackle you, and just run violent." Anybody who's in the way, anybody who's trying to tackle me, I just punish them. That's my whole goal.
On the team response after back-to-back losses…
At practice, it's always just a 1-0 mentality. Whatever happens, we reflect on the games, every game we go through. After that, we just move on. It’s 1-0 after that. Every week, that's our goal.
On where his toughness comes from…
It's definitely something that I've been working on and continue to work on. It's just something that's inside of me. I'm a really competitive person, so my whole goal is just like, “The person who's trying to tackle me, that's somebody who’s trying to take away from who I am.” I just take it personally every time somebody's trying to tackle me.
On seeing the younger players contribute…
It's awesome. These guys work just as hard as us. They're with us, bleeding with us, sweating with us, and all that good stuff. Just seeing them able to reap the reward of all their hard work, it's always so great to see.
