What Falcons running back Tevin Coleman said after Monday’s win over the Giants:
On touchdown run: “The back side was open, the line got the hole open, and I just busted through there.”
On getting the run game going: “You have to just stay with it. They are a great defense and they stopped a lot of the runs, but you have to stick with it and one is going to break open. That’s what we did.”
On Matt Ryan spreading the ball around: “Matt is just doing him and ripping it. He is just doing his job and it is real cool to see that.”
On the offensive line play: “They are doing amazing at opening holes and are doing a great job.”
On back-to-back wins heading into bye week: “It’s amazing. We had some struggles early on in the season, but we have been practicing hard and working hard to get where we are now.”
On the outlook for the rest of the season: “There have been a lot of injuries and there are a lot of guys who need to get healthy. Right now it is going good for us and we just have to get those guys back on the field.”
On staying with the run: “Coach was stressing that we need to stay with the run and that is what we did to get a long one to pop open.”
