Quotes by Michael Pittman

“Im carrying the ball a lot tighter to my rib cage and up a little higher. I take those turnovers last year to heart. Those turnovers were costly and this year Im going to try my best to prevent them.”

“Coach has me playing a lot of receiver and I wanted to do that last year, ... But he really didnt put it in that much. Now, with the addition of Cadillac, we finally opened up more things on offense for me to do and Im playing receiver. I enjoy doing that. Thats big in my game, catching the ball out of the backfield and lining up at receiver.”

“Sometimes people overlook my stats, but Im not like the kind of guy to go out there to get a bunch of attention anyway, ... I just go out there and play. I had over 1,300 yards (combined in 2004) in 13 games and 10 touchdowns, and it is not easy in the NFL to accomplish that.”

“Theres thousands and thousands that are coming through, and theyre begging and begging for preachers and lay people to come down there and to minister to them. These people have no hope. They need hope, and the only hope they can get is through Jesus Christ. They need people to go down there and share Jesus Christ with them.”

“Both us are going to be on the field at the same time, with me playing fullback, and tailback and receiver and tight end,”

“I cant give away too much. But Im on the field, and catching the ball is just as good as running the ball to me.”

“I love running receiver routes, ... Im too big and too physical for a corner or a safety to cover me up and too fast for a linebacker. So its a mismatch.”

“He is the key,”

“When he went down last year, it was a big deal for us, so were happy hes back and doing an excellent job.”

“We have all kinds of weapons. Cadillac started off great the first three games. He was hurt today and really wasnt 100 percent, but we still went out there and played.”
