I think the media has done a good job portraying him being a bad person, when in reality he's not.

One magazine had me finishing with 975 yards.

For me to be a starting running back in the NFL and somebody says that I could play 16 games, but I won't get 1,000 yards, for me I look at it as a slap in the face. That's one of those slaps where I say, 'OK, you can slap me once. But at the end of the season, I want to make sure I'm hitting you back with a powerful punch.'

I don't think the guy should be looked at as an outcast or be looked at in a negative way because of some personal things that might have happened.

I was so concerned with trying to make the big run that I didn't nitpick to get the three or four yards. That's something I have to work on.

That's one thing I'm not used to coming from New York. I got news for the rest of the league. That team (the Patriots) is not changing. If the league thinks that team is changing because it lost two coordinators, it isn't. They minimize mistakes. That's something we've got to do.

You can't come out against the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and make that many penalties, ... They won't beat themselves. Granted, they lost two coordinators, but they haven't changed.

'I'm not going to judge a guy based on how he's portrayed in the media. I'm going to judge this man based on him.' And Randy ... he's been phenomenal.

I [will] let it get me down because I care.
