We make our money in a short period time. I'm trying to make my transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.

He is great, he runs hard. He's studied the offense pretty well. He sets up my blocks pretty well. I think he is going to gain a lot of yards. It is going to be fun to block for him. I have blocked for a lot of good running backs, and they can really make your job easier by setting up blocks, making the correct reads.

I ran this [West Coast] offense for three years at Carolina, so the verbiage came pretty quick. A few teams called Sunday, but this deal was definitely something I was interested in. There's a lot of good players here that are going to be a good team, so it was an easy decision.
