Warren: Just knowing like the ceiling is very high, the floor is very high. Everybody making plays every day in practice, so I'm excited to see that on game day.
Warren: I don't see a difference in my role, really, just go out there ball. We don't know rotation yet, but we know what it is in the running back room. We both gonna be playing significant amounts, so it's exciting.
Warren: We've seen it a lot, the emphasis on the run and run periods, seeing periods, we emphasize it a lot, so we need to live on Sunday.
