The game plan is different with him, to take advantage of his speed. I don't know if there's another running back in the league who can get down the sideline as fast as he does.

When the offensive line is playing well, I don't think it really matters.

I felt all along going into training camp we have four great backs. Two of them are down right now, so we still have two left.

I tell him all the time, 'Play your game, don't stay in the pocket for us,'.

Some players ... they're better unprepared, maybe. Just go out there and wing it. That's how he is.

They're getting better every game. I felt Max made big steps this past week, just his technique and focus and being able to play a whole half. I don't know if he had any mental mistakes.

He does stuff like that all the time.

I always felt we needed to play more in games and even in practice. As a veteran, I also realize you want to go into the season healthy. That's why I'm glad it's the coach's job.

Actually, he's surprised me. I know veteran players can pretty much just get through training camp and turn it on the first week. I didn't know if he could do that. But he's shown that he can.
