One thing we need to work on is our communication and not be so hard on eachother.
Do you have any type of concern going into this weeks game?
This weekend their gonna be pretty big and pretty physical but its nothing wer haven’t seen before and if we do everything right and we do out job and doing out assignment we will be just fine.
Is there anyone you look up to that motivates you to play runningback?
I used to run a lot of saquon barkley it was just about this solid dude who takes the ball and just runs down the field wether its through defenders over defenders hitting spin moves, jukes and just being physical just seem like such a important lost piece of the game. I wanted to be that piece of the game be the guy who ran the ball and to be physical.
