Quotes from Nate about Learning the Philly Offense

About why it normally takes awhile before rookie RBs learn the full Philly offense, Nate said:
"I just feel like running backs here have a lot to learn. They have to be able to line up out wide, run receiver routes. They have a lot to do with the passing package, as far as routes go. All that gets mixed in and then you get a chance to run the ball and remember 'Oh yeah, I"m a running back."" (PE.com)


About how he may have to contribute on special teams to make the team over Ryan Moats, Nate said:
"That"s kind of a first for me in a long time. In college, I didn"t play too much special teams, but it"s good. It"s another way to get on the field and you have to help the team in any way possible." (PE.com)


About the offseason minicamps, Nate said:
"These camps are set up more to just teach the system, so you hope that when you get to training camp you have everything down and have learned the system, and let your physical attributes take over. You definitely always want to be playing, but what you want to make sure is that when you"re playing, you know what you're doing." (PE.com)
