He's a character guy, a loyal soldier, and he's been good for the organization. There was a lot of pressure on Patrick when we lost to Toronto, and a lot of that criticism shouldn't have been on his shoulders. But going to St. Louis will be a good thing for him. He'll have a fresh start. |
He's a remarkable combination of terrific skill blessed by God, a work ethic unparalleled by anybody I've been around. And his single greatest asset, in my opinion, is his pride. I've gone on record before, and I believe this, that he's the finest running back that I've seen in football. |
He's an amazing horse. No horse I've ever seen in any race stumbled like that. And I don't know any horse stayed up after going that close to the ground. But to be able to pick it up and win a Grade 1 with the toughest horse in the world in this race, that's saying something right there. |
He's an everyday guy. When you're a walk-on, that's the hardest part, because they don't get the recognition and the accolades. They have to be really team-centered and in it for the right reasons. In Keenan's case, the benefits of it aren't individually as much as they are for the team. |
He's been doing an excellent job. When he goes out on defense, he's got more energy. (Porters Chapel) made some good adjustments, double-teamed him and did a good job of running away from him. We did move him where they were running, and it was a chess game. But he's turned into his own. |
He's comfortable down there; he's improving all the time. The big things now are to improve his balance, his footwork, his skills and confidence down low. But he's a hard worker and when you work that hard you have a chance to really gain expertise in certain situations that much faster. |
He's confident he will still be playing at a high level then. The Braves made a good effort and the Cubs did too. He turned down longer terms from other teams. We probably could have gotten close to this much money and twice as many years. But this was the right thing and the right team. |
He's extremely competitive, he's tough, he plays hard all the time and really has a chance to be an outstanding basketball player for us and be a force inside as he learns to play more consistent. He's done a better job than most (foreign players) because physically he was more prepared. |
He's going to have to take the lead, or fall in and make it a strategic race. I could see it going either way. I'm hoping he takes control and is aggressive, but with the likes of what the Razorbacks have, it's going to be interesting for the crowd and for the other athletes in the race. |
He's going well. I know it sounds dramatic - a knee infection, in hospital, on a drip - but I went to visit him in hospital this morning and he was in good spirits. The improvement in just 24 hours has been amazing and just talking to Brett, he's certain he'll be turning out on Thursday. |
He's good at raising money, and that's part of the reason he was elected president. If he comes to visit, it's going to throw the focus on what's going on back in Washington. But the election is months away — we expect him to be more strategic in where he visits closer to the election. |
He's got a presence. You walk into a room and you can tell he has a little something about him. Obviously you look at the job he's done at programs that have been less than successful. ... I think he can coach. I think he does a great job with his players and has a tremendous work ethic. |
He's got to get in better shape. That's the first thing. He's got to get in good enough shape to where he can at least attempt to be a big-minute player. He's got some nice natural post-up moves, but he has a ways to go. But he does a lot of good things. He's a very, very skilled player. |
He's not disengaged. That's an inaccurate perception. He just concentrates on what he feels is important. He doesn't do things just because other coaches do. In fact, he probably doesn't do them because other coaches do. But he's on top of the things he believes are important to winning. |
He's one of those guys who any night can explode for 40 or 50 or -- you certainly hope not -- 60 points against you. He's so tough because he's constantly attacking and he never really gives your defense a chance to relax. And pound for pound he's probably the toughest guy in the league. |
