I remember playing and James Farrier was that guy that Coach Tomlin would always say to the young fellows, hey, if you want to be in this league for 10 plus years, look what James Farrier does.

Follow James Ferrier.

Watch what he does in his preparation, how he takes care of his body, how he practices, how he plays on Sunday.

And I guarantee you that Coach Tomlin is saying the same thing to his young D lineman.

If you want to be in this NFL for 10, 15 years, do exactly what 97 does, right?

And Cam runs the football, not just in the games.

He runs the football in practice.

So it's second nature.

It's just muscle memory.

And that's why he's so good because he doesn't just show up on Sundays and play because it would be impossible.

He does it every single day in practice.

And you're seeing the young fellas now follow suit.

Well, I think, first of all, you have to establish the running game.

And there's no question about it.

And I know there hasn't been an emphasis for them.

They've run effectively.

They ran the ball for almost five yards of carry against the Ravens last week.

But they have to be able to establish the run.

If they think they're going to throw the ball two to one, pass to run, they're going to get annihilated.

Because these guys are going to pin their ears back.
