“I believe him because that’s what we work on in practice,” Walker said. “You can say the past years, we didn’t practice it as much, so you know you’re not going to go out to the game and do it, but we’ve been practicing it a lot, and we’re real detailed with the run game. So, I believe it wholeheartedly that we’re going to go out and run the ball.”
Walker added, “Even in the meeting rooms, everything. We know we’re going to run the ball, and we know the identity of what we’re going to do on offense.”
Coming off a season where he missed a few games, starting and playing in 11 games, Walker is feeling better than before with an improved diet, sleep and recovery routine.
“I’ve been changing my routine up – how I eat and sleep – and I definitely feel it in my performance, so I’m going to just keep it up and go into it with the season.
Here, you get more healthy, clean foods at the facility and then my sleeping habits; I (go to) sleep at around 10 to 10:30 (p.m.). These past years, even in college, I used to stay up until 1:00 (a.m.) because I’m just staying up. It’s definitely helped a lot, and I feel much better and extra recovery definitely helps a lot when I come back out here and practice again.”
