He is creating a situation that doesn't exist. Maybe he should request that the league release results of officials' performance evaluations so fans, players and owners can see how wonderful a job they actually do. The officials do a good job overall. This would be his opportunity to confirm it to all. |
He is issue-free, I guess you could call it right now. He feels good and he is looking forward to the challenge this week with this defense. You have to hit the hole exceptionally fast and quick to get creases because things close up very quickly. He knows it is a challenge, as does our offensive line. |
He is quite incredible - it made me think a bit about me winning the French Open at 17 and how professionals accomplish things so young. I had the feeling Tiger Woods did not quite know what was going on and it was like that for me at the French. It was only afterwards that I realized the significance. |
He keeps you grounded and lets you know that regardless of what happens, don't ever get too upset about what someone says to you. If you have a bad game and someone's cutting you down, don't get down on yourself. If you have a great game, don't listen to them. Don't let your head get big because of it. |
He said he was happy I would be part of the family and that he can't wait for the No. 1 recruiting class to come up so we can start our path to a national championship. It's good to know people consider us the No. 1 (class) in the country, but it doesn't mean anything if we don't prove it on the field. |
He surrounds himself with quality, trustworthy people, many of whom are locals. His various businesses have helped turn Plainville around. Before, young families could not make a living and moved away - not because they wanted to, but because they had to. It was like the very slow death of a community. |
He was a great tight end. I bet him 100 bucks that he'd play tight end for us some day, and I lost the bet. I paid him 100 bucks. I wrote him a check. When I did it, it was more of 'You're a heck of an athlete. Whatever you put your mind to, you can get it done.' That's really what I was trying to say. |
He was a three-year starter here and probably the best offensive lineman we've had in the history of the school. He's got the combination of size and strength and running ability, plus he has the added feature of being a top-notch long snapper, which in itself will keep you on the team for a long time. |
He will come out and throw the ball four times in the first two series and he's not going to throw the rest of the game, ... So, we're going to let him throw his first four. And then, we'll worry about his halfback pass he likes to show off once a year. And then, he'll go back to what they normally do. |
He will never tell you this, but he wants to be really, really good, ... It drives him. He wants to be the best at everything he does, whether it be football or pool or golf. That's why it is fun being with him. Neither of us will concede anything. He's never going to be satisfied as a football player. |
He would take a pencil and the pencil would move and start to work by itself. It's a funny thing to think about, but that's what he said about his writing. He shunned the computer. He felt he could only do it with a pencil and correct it on computer, he couldn't do the original writing on the computer. |
He's a great player and now that he's scoring goals, he's full of confidence so I'm absolutely delighted for him. There is always healthy competition for spots in the team and we have a couple missing at the minute and he's having to do the workload and he's doing a great job. He was fantastic tonight. |
He's asking a lot of questions, picking everybody's brain, trying to get a feel for everyone, ... He's very serious, very attentive to the details of each drill we did, stressing a high tempo and skating, and I assume that's something that's going to be stressed throughout training camp and the season. |
He's been the best player I have ever coached because he can do so many different things. He?s very well-grounded and understands the game. You can't really rattle him. He's always acted the same way from the time he was a freshman until now. He has been very mature for his age and that has helped him. |
He's come a long way, (but) he's still developing. I challenge you to find somebody with a quicker release with accuracy than he does. And he gives you a presence behind the plate. You combine that with his pure power at the plate. The guy has all the tools to be a front-line player in the big leagues. |
