NFL coaches always say they don’t want to have any player on their roster that doesn’t want to be a starter. The Bills coaching staff doesn’t have to worry about the mindset of Dominic Rhodes, who despite having never been a starter hasn’t let that affect his approach to the game.
“Always,” said Rhodes when asked if he expects to start. “I don’t even look at myself ever in any situation as a backup. My mindset is always that the opportunity is there. I compete to start. I don’t go anywhere trying to sit on the bench. That’s not my thing. I want to stay on the field and play and compete. That’s why I play this game. I feel as soon as I put on my cleats for me it’s time to go out there and compete and try to be a starter.”
Rhodes certainly has respect for Marshawn Lynch’s game as well as that of Fred Jackson having watched Bills game tape just before addressing the media Monday on the heels of signing with Buffalo late last week.
