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.
I will forever look at it as teams saying we can't run the ball, ... I encourage defenses to play that way. If you play two-deep defense against us with the way we're capable of running the ball ... we are going to run the ball down your throat. I think today was a true test of that.
In order to win in the NFL, you have to be able to run the ball, ... I think it's very obvious that we can pretty much throw the ball against everybody we play. It's just up to us now (to get) our run game going.
I have said it before, 23 to 26 carries and I've gotten the job done. And if you look at our record, 1-4, our one victory was 26 for 126. To win games in the NFL you have to run the ball.
Honestly, I kept telling myself it was something that wouldn't hold Curtis (Martin) out. I think the fact the ground (at the Coliseum) was so soft I could run on the side of my foot. So it was just one of those things.
