 RB De’Von Achane

(How do you guys stay up as a team? You guys have struggled offensively, two losses, no big deal – shrug it off with a lot of games left in the season?) – “Most definitely. Like you said, it’s early in the season so it’s like we’re going to look back at the game and fix our mistakes and just go on to the next.”

(How encouraged are you that the running game is going to have a big impact for the team moving forward?) – “I feel like we run the ball good. I mean whatever Coach (McDaniel) calls, I feel like we’re all comfortable enough to go run it.”

(Do you think there’s an opportunity on Monday for the team to sort of show its physical side? I know WR Tyreek Hill for example, was bringing up how you guys were in pads yesterday and he kind of thought that was maybe a statement about the team wanting to be physical.) – “It’s just something we decided in the group. The leadership council, they wanted to go pads on Wednesday, so we did. So we just started the week strong and like you said, we just feel like we should have been in pads on Wednesday going into Thursday, so it’s just a group decision.”

(I know a big play is a part of y’all’s DNA. Is it absolutely necessary for you guys to win – does the big play have to be there?) – “I wouldn’t say a big play. In the NFL, man, it’s hard to make a big play. So I feel like we just got to take what the defense gives us and just keep marching down the field, just take what they give us and the big plays will come. I feel like us forcing the big play – if you force it, then it won’t come.”

(How has your body held up with all this work? Obviously the ankle in Week 1 – how have you felt?) – “I’m good man. Like you said, I do a good job at coming in and getting treatment so I can be out there, so I feel great.”

(How big is yards after carry to you in terms of that’s something you’re aware of? Then look, are you breaking tackles to your liking in terms of the volume of tackles that you’re breaking this year compared to last year?) – “I feel like I can’t really compare right now because like I said, it’s still early in the season. But I do, do a good job of trying to make the first guy miss, so that’s something that I like to do.”
