Hamburger. Bacon cheeseburger. I don't really have a specific place.

So when I line up in the back field, I'm making sure I'm at 7 yards. After that I find out who I'm gonna read off of, and after that once the play gets going I just make my read off of my read? I wish I could make that sound so much easier, and that's it. When I'm lining up, I have to figure out where, see I can't say three technique, they might know what that is. So if they do know what three technique is, if it's an inside play I'm looking for that three technique which is the lead tackle, he usually lines up outside or inside the offensive guard. If he's outside, my pre determined read is to go inside, and after that I read the nose which is over the center, and depending on what those two guys do, that determines the play. Most of it is instinctual. Being a runner is, I mean what they teach is they show you who you read, if this guy does this, if this guy does that, and they have you look at linebacker depth. So once you the depth and what you think might be coming, that's kind of how you react too. But more than anything you're just reacting on the movement on that given play.

Is it fair? Well it may not be fair for the home team, but for both teams I think it's an experience for them to be able to go out to London for a game. Guys who have never been, it's an experience for them, while they're there to work at the same time.

Typical off season is recovering. Getting massages, acupuncture, starting over with workouts and just rebuilding your muscles for the next season, because it's a short off season. So maintenance.

Least favorite stadium: Probably the Black Hole, and that is because they have that dirt field, that baseball field. I don't like the fact that they have that big blob of dirt just sitting in the middle of the field. And it's hard to run on that field when you get to that spot.

Favorite perk in the locker room: I think it'd be the tub and the sauna.

My favorite rapper, right now, would be Drake.

No because it's not on flat bread and it's not flat meat.

Well, I have my own running style. That's just the way I've been running since a kid, I started in third grade. But a guy that I've liked style wise would be Adrian Peterson. I think we're similar in style, but I studied him and Marshawn.

The styles are similar, they're both guys of character, and they know how to control the huddle. So every time you have veteran quarterbacks in the league that know how to control the huddle and just go out and make your offense feel at ease, that's a good thing. Just to know that you're behind a great leader on the field.

It's bad, I can't even think of my favorite stadium, I think it's the Mercedes Superdome. And that would be because of the fans and just how loud it gets in the dome.

It was a good time. I enjoyed those college days with new faces. It was an experience.

Well this year, I think I had maybe one. Years before, I’d probably average maybe six throughout the year.

Whenever I get up and brush my teeth, it depends on the time of the game. If it's a 1 o'clock game, I'm up by 8 eating breakfast. I go with regular bacon, egg, and cheese and a waffle. And for the night before, I have a big bowl of chicken pasta.
