Earnest Byner Quotations

He's a smart guy, who hates with a passion being corrected. He has a lot of pride in everything he does and pass protection is one of the things he really, really prides himself on. The other thing he really loves is throwing the ball.

You kind of look at him as a flair and flash type of guy. But he's sharp, and he's become more and more detail-oriented.

You have to confront it. You can't let it fester. If you don't deal with it, it will explode.

We tell our backs to just get on the back hip of that guy on those pulling plays and just ride it out. Randy does an excellent job of that. There were a couple of times where he's actually been looking back over his shoulder to say, 'Hey, where are you, baby? Come on! Come on!' We love to see that and we love to execute those kinds of plays.

The position he plays, you are required to be a leader. You can't hide. You are a tone setter for the entire team. However you go is how the team is going to go.

People think it's crazy -- I'm not going to compare him to this guy -- but what I felt with him at that workout was similar to something I felt with Jamal when I was with Baltimore. When he ran past me, the thought of Jamal came to me, just like that.
