Ron Dayne Quotations

I was surprised, especially with Mike playing so well, ... It was just fun getting the ball and being able to run downfield.

Whatever happens, happens. Whatever they do, I'll have to deal with it. I've been dealing with all kind of stuff for the last four years. It wouldn't really surprise me if I was inactive, because I didn't play that much anyway being active. So that wouldn't be that much different.

I was just happy to get the opportunity to play, and to help my team win.

just a little phase. ... It was nice to be compared to somebody good. But you're not that person.

That was the hardest part. Not dressing didn't really hurt me, but not being able to help the team did.

I was ready last week. I'm going to stay ready. I'll just do what I have to do in case something like that happens.

We kept trying to stretch them out, stretch them out all day. Finally, the cutback was there. We know we have to stick with the running game around here. We stuck with it for four quarters and it finally opened up for us.

We didn't get all our third downs, and that was the thing that kept the defense on the field so much. We just have to keep working on it. We did better than we did last week. We're getting better and improving.

Any road game is going to be tough. We just have to get our mind right and be ready to play.

Everybody wants more carries. But whatever they give me I'm happy for. Whatever they give me . . . whatever they ask me to do, I'm going to do, I told myself coming in here.

I'm going to be ready whenever they need me. I was just happy to get the ball and run downfield.

I kind of thought, coming from the NFC, you never really saw 3-4 teams, but in the AFC, there's a lot.

I'm just glad we were able to finish strong and win the game to help what the defense did.

I just wanted to get a chance to play and help the team win, ... I'm not really worried about all the yards and the big touchdowns and stuff like that. Whatever it takes.

In that situation, just do what you have to do to get the first down, ... That's it, just get the first down. And everybody on the defense is up (on the line of scrimmage), so once you get past that first down, then you think touchdown. First down, touchdown.

Being able to help the team win is all I can ask for. I haven't been upset about not playing. I just wanted to show the stuff I have. It was a lot of fun.

He's really tough. I wouldn't count him out.

Hopefully, I'll get an opportunity to do it, and I'll do my best.

The coaching staff gave me a chance and they believed in me. I was glad I got this opportunity to show Coach that I wasn't a bust.

You can't really make the decision for the coaches. I don't know what's going to happen. If I knew, then I would tell you, but I don't.

Any play, I'm ready for all the plays, ... That's the whole thing. . . . Any time I can get out and show I can do this, do those type of things, I'm going to do it. It was just fun, being able to run and get down the field. Just run, do what I do.
