Training camp is almost here and I am ready to go! I’m ready to show everyone what they can expect this season. I’m ready to bond with my teammates and let them know they can trust me at all times. Trust is huge in football. You can’t put a running back on the field if you can’t trust him to protect the quarterback, or if you think he might fumble, or if he’s afraid to run the ball. You have to have confidence in every player in every situation. I’ve got to show the players and coaches that they can trust me if we need a touchdown in the fourth quarter, that I’m an option no matter what the situation. I’m not looking forward to all the meetings, but you have to get through them to get to the games. It’s a long day, going through practice, then three hours in meetings, then sometimes another practice. It’s definitely necessary though. I’m going to be a lot more confident than I was the last three years. I really feel like I have an opportunity to get on the field, I’m comfortable with the offense and I can play fast. Just have to get out there and show the coaches what I can do. In the past I didn’t really know the offense all the way. This year I got it down so I should be good going into camp, and anything new thrown in there I should be able to pick it up. There’s always the rookie hazing at training camp. I don’t do any of it because no one did anything to me the year I got here. It’s definitely funny, though. A lot of the vets do it to break up the monotony of training camp. It’s kind of a tradition from college and through the pros. There’s a lot of pressure in training camp and you need something to break it up a little bit. The last thing I want to say is about Michael Vick. I’m supporting him and I hope the Commissioner can have a little understanding and let him play the entire season. I think he is making positive steps and he has done all he is supposed to do with the law and the league. Let’s go, Vick. I’m a fan.
