RB Kenyan Drake

(I know we’ve talked and asked you about it but now here it is, the week of the game. How different does it feel for you going into this season?) – “It doesn’t really feel different at all. I’m ready to just go out there and play football. I’m not putting any added expectations on my shoulders. I’m just going out there and trying to help this team win games by running the ball, being efficient in the pass game and just being a playmaker.”

(How much momentum can you take from the way you finished personally last season, and going into this?) – “Just using it as a stepping stone. I don’t try to look back at it too much because it’s a ‘what have you done for me lately?’ type of league. So when I go out there, I just want to make sure I improve upon things that I do well, learn from the lessons and the mistakes that I make and just try to be a good player.”

(In this offseason and in this training camp and preseason, what kind of questions do you think you answered about this offense?) – “I don’t feel like we’ve answered really anything yet because at the end of the day, the season hasn’t started yet. I feel like we have a big task ahead of us with a good Tennessee team coming down here. We’re just ready to go out there and play ball.”

(When was the last time you started out a year being ‘the guy’ at running back?) – “Probably my senior year of high school.”

(How good does that feel, just knowing that you’re No. 1 there on the depth chart?) – “I’d say at the end of the year when we have a lot more wins, because last year I finished the season as ‘the guy,’ but we finished 6-10. I wasn’t happy. This year I look forward to having a lot more wins and being in the same position, so I’ll let you know then.”

(How curious are you to see what this offense can do with the new players and everything now that the regular season is here and you aren’t holding anything back anymore?) – “I feel like this team has a lot of potential. I feel like that’s every team though. When you step onto the field for the first game of the season, all 32 teams have aspirations of making the Super Bowl. That would be an understatement to say that we don’t have those aspirations, obviously; but we’re taking it one game at a time. We know we have a lot of weapons. Having ‘17’ (Ryan Tannehill) back is definitely a pivotal thing for this team. We’re just ready to go out there and make plays.”
