Julius admits he ran like a robot under Parcells

Originally posted on another board by Chocolate Lab:

He's on the LBOH show right now and he admitted that while he ran on his instincts his rookie year, he got away from that and was "running like a robot" under Parcells' eye. Not much elaboration, and he honestly didn't come off like he was blaming Parcells -- he said he liked playing for Parcells and the mental toughness Parcells instilled in the team.

But he also said he thinks the new coaching staff will let him run more naturally and on his instincts, and that he has a big chip on his shoulder to show everyone that he's a good back. Said he loves this organization and hopes he's here for a long time.

Adding Tony Dorsett's comments:

Instead of keeping his fluidness by carrying the ball in his right hand when he's carrying the ball to the right or left hand when he's running to the left.

He's grabbing the ball in both hands, covering it up and you have no fluidness. Takes away all of his ability to make people miss at times.
