James ‘super excited’ for ex-teammates

Edgerrin James is in Miami. Soon the Indianapolis Colts will be, too. And that’s fine with the Cardinals running back, who left the Colts to sign with Arizona as a free agent almost a year ago — and a year before his original NFL team finally made it to the Super Bowl.
Echoing similar thoughts he repeated all season, James said rather than feeling he is missing out he instead is “super excited” his former team has reached Super Bowl XLI.
“I’ve always said I wanted to see the Colts in the Super Bowl,” James said in a phone interview from Florida. “All the pieces were there.”
James, who played in Indianapolis for seven years, said he has already talked to many of his ex-teammates, congratulating them on making it to the league’s title game.
As for the Cardinals, James said he is enjoying his offseason, which means his job is pushed into the background.
Because of that, James said he hasn’t “looked into” his new coach, Ken Whisenhunt. James reiterated part of the reason he chose to sign his four-year, $30 million contract with the Cardinals last March was because of Dennis Green.
James ended up rushing for 1,159 yards this season, the largest total for any back since the team moved to Arizona. James also needed 337 carries to do so, a franchise-record for attempts.
“I never wanted to play for someone who is going to beat me up in practice or who isn’t a players’ coach,” James said. “What I have heard about the dude, they say 'Whiz’ is a cool guy. I’ll see for myself.”
But, James added, “It was a long season. I’m not really thinking about football right now.”
