this game, the big boys are getting it 25 to 30 times. I''m not going to be able to compete 14 times a game. That''s being realistic."
Dillon hasnt carried more than 23 times in a game in a full year, or since he went for 138 yards on 30 carries last Oct. 27 in a 30-24 loss to Tennessee. The Bengals are ranked next to last in NFL rushing, but know that a large part of that is because Dillon hasnt been healthy since the first half of the second game.
He carried sparingly in the second half of the Sept. 14 Raiders game after hyperextending his knee. Then, after injuring his groin the next week at Paul Brown Stadium -- an injury he blamed on the field, he played pretty much only in the first halves against the Steelers and Browns before sitting out his first game in 52 against the Bills on Oct. 5.
The whispers about his health combined with last weeks NFL trade deadline rumors and his 39-yard effort on 18 carries in the win over Baltimore appeared to put him over the edge. He''s got just 203 yards on 62 carries this season. Three years ago today he got 278 yards on 21. He said he has been boiling over with these thoughts since his rookie year.
"When Im healthy, Im the most dangerous running back in the game. Period," Dillon said. "I dont see any other teams stacking their defenses for seven consecutive years to stop one man. That should be evidence of the caliber of player I am. Since Ive got a groin injury, people want to cancel me out. Ive been a warrior, I come in and put my hard hat on, go to work get the job done. Its always something. If I didnt play, that would be something. When I play, Ah he cant make any cuts. Lets see how many people in this profession try to make these hard cuts with a groin injury.
"Do I feel a little stepped on. Yeah, I do. Have I been feeling this way for a long time? (Yes). It has nothing to do with the new regime, the new coaches. This boils back to 97, and its been like this for a long time."
Lewis said he has no plans to fine Dillon, and Dillon said the club has no right to fine him because he was only talking about himself
