To me, that's just him saying that he knows that the team has the talent and he just wants them to have a sense of urgency to put it on the field so they can win as many rings as possible.
What spoke to me most about this article was how he then says that they need to get it done for the city, the team, Mike, and Marvin and the other coaches:
That speaks volumes to him wanting to get the job done for EVERYONE BUT HIMSELF and says that he's going to come in and just be one of the top backs in the league and carry this team to victory. I always say that we would have won the playoff game if he hadn't gotten hurt, and this makes me believe that we'll have a deep playoff run coming this season.
By saying all this, he's taking a leadership role and saying "let's go get it done," which he'll be a top 5 (if not top 3) back in the league this year, and I don't know too many other running backs, especially ones that young, that take on that kind of leadership role.
Sounds amazing that there were "character concerns" with this kid coming out of college and then he throws out comments like that!
Yo Brad, happy you are here.
I love the urgentness. That is what i thought was so boneheaded about the
extension of Marv. It might of took it away. Happy it has not been lost on my
bro Jeremy Hill. Dude could be the best back in the game in a year or two.
