• You are playing a character obviously, and everything you are saying is filtered through that person.  It is not you that is saying it.  It is filtered through a character that doesn’t have your own set of values - so it is not really odd.  Inevitably we help each other with a lot of line-learning.  Plus there is a familiarity which is quite nice.  We have done TV together before.

• I show up on the injury report as much as the statsheet, but if I’m healthy, I’m going to be a late-round steal in most leagues. Last year I had more than 1,000 yards on the ground despite my injuries, and I had six rushing touchdowns despite Andre Brown vulturing my goal line duties around mid-season. Now I’m in Indianapolis, and my new offensive coordinator is implementing a West Coast offense that should get me plenty of carries and a few catches each game. Plus, I’ll be the goal line guy. If I’m not wearing a boot.
