Running back-to-back races requires a certain tactical prudence. Going too hard in any one race might jeopardize your performance in another. Maintaining proper hydration and caloric equilibrium also becomes increasingly critical.

You gave me reason to believe that we were always meant to be, but now I see you were wrong, you can’t keep running back to me with all them baby baby please, No More.

Any time a running back reaches the age of 31 or 32, he has to lose a step. No one is a freak of nature. No one is going to be able to take the pounding a running back has to take over a 10- or 12-year career and not lose a step.

People ask me who he reminds me of. The way he’s playing, I’d say he doesn’t remind me of anybody. I’ve never seen anybody – running back, quarterback, wide receiver – make the plays that Vince Young made today.

I will never look at you in the same way ever again. I’ll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.

First and foremost, I’m a running back. That’s how I perceive myself.

The history says quarterbacks get paid more than running backs, but I think it depends on the caliber of the player – what you’re getting, not just what the position is.

Here I am as a running back, making a pretty good living, actually doing pretty good.

Being a running back helped me tremendously. It taught me judgement in the defense and how to judge the football.

Marshall was a pioneering player. As a threat in so many different aspects of football, he revolutionized the way in which the running back position was played. He was the player that I wanted to emulate.

Hollywood screenwriters tend to have the longevity of NFL running backs. So the truth is no one can put more pressure on us than we put on ourselves.

You were first-string running back last year. What happened?” – Coach “Stone’s mouth happened. It needed to be closed, and I was a little too obliging to shut it.” – Nick

To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.

Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

And I can’t be running back and fourth forever between grief and high delight.

I think that’s another misconception, [that] our quarterbacks run all the time. Quarterbacks can help you in the run game, they complement what you do, but it’s a running back-driven run game.

Emmitt Smith is in a position, in my opinion, where he should be the highest-paid running back in football. He’s a guy who has gone out and led the league in rushing and been productive.

The entire time I was up shooting ‘Suits,’ I was running back to my trailer to help get ‘Nine Circles‘ produced. It’s a no-brainer for me to keep that part of life alive.

I don’t want to get too detailed into it, but when you’re a good high school running back, you can almost be whatever type of runner you want to be. If you’re a good size and a good athlete, you can be whatever type of runner you want.

I’ve never had a quarterback run-driven offense. We don’t run designed plays where we snap the ball directly to the quarterback and he’s just running it. If the defense is cheating and overcompensating for your running back, then the quarterback needs to keep (it) honest.

A wide receiver like me wouldn’t have won. The quarterback – or even the running back – always wins.

I feel like every running back should have their own little stamp on the game.

There were a lot of running backs as good as me. The real difference was that I could focus. I never laid back and relied on natural ability.

You may drive out nature with a pitchfork, yet she‘ll be constantly running back.

I look for a quarterback who can run and not a running back who can throw. I want a quarterback who can beat you with his arm. We are not a Tim Tebow type of quarterback team. I am not going to run my quarterback 20 times on power runs.

From the waist down, Earl Campbell has the biggest legs I have ever seen on a running back.

Work is, after all, not a busy running back and forth in established grooves, though that is the essence of our modern business and academic life, but the supreme energy and disciplined curiosity required to cut new grooves.

Honestly, as you can imagine, it really isn’t all that fun directing yourself, running back and forth to the monitors to see if you’re terrible or not.

Some say that I’m their favorite, but I aint hearing none of that. I’m about my team, hoe, Young Money running back

I’d like to be a 5-10, 205-pound running back. I think it’s natural for big guys to want to be a little faster.

For people who are displaced, you can reconstruct the story of your life from the objects you have access to, but if you don’t have the objects then there are holes in your life. This is why people in Bosnia – if anyone was running back into a burning house it was to salvage photos.

[Joan Rivers] is fantastic. AND SHE’S 80! There’s no 80-year-old pitcher. If you’re a running back and you’re 28 they’re like, “Oh, here he goes, turning the corner on his career, he’s on the downswing…”

I really don’t look at comparing things that way because even in a 14-game season, there could be a running back who could have a lot more carries than other running backs.

Every guy has different strengths in the NFL. Receivers are different, running backs are different, but they all have that one thing that they do thats special: that thing that keeps them on the roster every year.

I like using one QB. If we have two that are relatively equal, then we can’t afford to have one on the bench. They need to be on the field at running back, receiver or defensive back. I’m not going to waste an athlete on the sidelines.
