Transcipt: Thomas Jones, 10.28
On the mindset of the team going into the Miami game…
It’s a big game, a division game. We have the bye week coming up next week. We need to put everything we have into this game. It’s going to be a tough game. They are a tough team. It was down-to-the-wire last time, so we know what to expect. We had a great day of practice today and we are looking for great days of practice the rest of the week. We will be ready to play.
On why the rushing attack is working so well…
Our offensive line is coming off the ball, we are sticking with the run. Coach is doing a great job of putting us in really good situations. The backs are running hard. Sometimes it takes a couple of games for the running game to get going because you have to have the chemistry and get the rhythm. We are taking (it) one day at a time. Every game is different. Everything we are trying to do is to help us win the game. We have to be able to run the ball, we have to be balanced. We understand that, it is our goal every week. We’ve run the ball the last couple of weeks very well.
On Shonn Greene’s performance and how he will fill in for Leon Washington…
I though he played a great game. He came in and did really well in training camp. He’s adapted to the team and he’s picked up the offense. He made some really good reads. It’s unfortunate for Leon (Washington) to get hurt like that. It’s going to hurt our team in a lot of ways, not just his play, but him in the locker room and being a leader on the team. Other guys will have to step up and make plays too.
