I'm always kidding that we keep him in a cage and feed him raw meat. On game day, we turn him loose.

The emotions are just going crazy around here. We get into those ugly, Rocky Balboa-type fights. We just keep banging, scratching and find a way to just pull this thing out. It's not always pretty, but a win is a win.

He understands some of the things you go through. Some of the same things that you see.

I don't know if anybody believed but us. We did enough tonight. We're heroes, all of us.

I think it's good for him to be around his other family, and his brothers on this football team. I think it gets him away from all that other stuff. When you're out there playing, man, it's almost like being in your own world, and the only thing that matters is you and your teammates. And I think that's good for him, especially at a time like this.

We are a Rocky Balboa-type team, but it's good to get a young Mike Tyson-type win and knock someone out.

That's the kind of running back he is. We'll stop him for a two-yard loss and a one-yard loss, then all of a sudden he'll break one.

I want to come out every day and work like I'm a free agent coming out of butt-scratch university.
