RB Malcolm Brown

(We know that obviously you’re going to get playing time, RB Myles Gaskin will, RB Salvon Ahmed will but not having the opportunity to start very much in your NFL career, I guess two starts even though you’ve played a lot – would starting be meaningful? You got the opportunity on Saturday. Would that be meaningful to be a regular-season NFL starter?) – “Yeah, it would be dope; but at the same time, I’ve been in this league for so long I know how it goes. We all have our roles and we all contribute to this team in different ways. Starting, not starting, playing time – at this point in my career, I’m not overly worried about it.”

(What are your impressions of RB Myles Gaskin?) – “I like him. We’ve got a great group of guys in that running back room. A lot of guys, we just like to work. That was my first impression of Myles (Gaskin). He just puts his head down and works. There is nobody in that room that is a prima donna or anything like that. It’s a great group of guys in there.”

(What was it like seeing another team out there?) – “It was good, man. It’s always cool to practice against somebody else. You go against your own team for so long. To go against somebody else is always fun – to get something new, something fresh and some more competition out there.”

(Do you like this version of training camp better? Where it is a little more condensed but you get to see different faces to break up the monotony a little bit?) – “I don’t know if I have decided if I like which one better or not. Like I said, it’s always cool to see something new, something fresh. Like you said, some new faces and go against somebody else, a different scheme and just getting more experience with some different stuff is the biggest benefit to that.”

(I know you must take pride in your goal line work. What did the Bears do in that preseason game? There were a couple games out there in the joint practices that you got the better of them then.) – “They have a great group of guys there. I think that they are known for their defense and especially that d-line. They got it done. We just really need to execute better on our end. Nothing too technical, nothing crazy. We just need to execute better and do a better job of what we were doing.”

(When you start, do you also think that also gives the other running backs an advantage when you wear them out and then those other running backs can come in against a defense that’s tired?) – “It works both ways. Just getting something new out there. Some other guys and change of pace. I’m a change of pace. Whatever you want to put it like, I just know the group of guys that we have in our room, we contribute in so many different ways and it’s always fun. But yeah, I think it gives us a little bit of an advantage just switching different types of backs in and out.”

(You guys play the Falcons this year. Is there anything that you can take away from this week that would help you in October?) – “Really we just got to go back and look at this film and see what we can improve on. After that, I think we will get a better feel of it.”
