22 Quotes by Marcus Washington

When things started getting a little physical, Matt stepped up and made big plays. He won a lot of respect from me today the way he played.

Last year, Robert was still more of a pass catcher. He's got a little more pop to him this year. He's becoming a better blocker.

I'm always kidding that we keep him in a cage and feed him raw meat. On game day, we turn him loose.

He understands some of the things you go through. Some of the same things that you see.

He had a huge impact on this defense. He's a guy who just gets into the backfield and destroys everything. He blows up running plays. He's just a beast once he gets going, and a guy a lot of people don't really know. He's kind of our best-kept secret around here. He definitely doesn't get the attention he deserves, but in a game you definitely better pay attention to number 96.

He runs the ball with a lot of intensity. He's not a huge back but he runs really big. He's kind of similar to (Dallas') Julius Jones. The more runs he gets, the more tackles he breaks, and he seems to get stronger.

I think it's good for him to be around his other family, and his brothers on this football team. I think it gets him away from all that other stuff. When you're out there playing, man, it's almost like being in your own world, and the only thing that matters is you and your teammates. And I think that's good for him, especially at a time like this.

That chemistry can come into it. If you know one guy is there to make the tackle, then you can say, 'I know my buddy's got the tackle, now I can try to strip the ball out.' That does go hand in hand, and the turnovers will come. I don't know when they're going to come, but if we continue to fly to the ball and hit people, we're going to get them.

That's the kind of running back he is. We'll stop him for a two-yard loss and a one-yard loss, then all of a sudden he'll break one.
