Billy is a natural at it (coaching). Football's in his blood. |
Bob is an outstanding educator, ... He works well with students, and he really loves ice hockey. |
First of all, Nick is a terrific natural athlete. We figured he would be a good quarterback because he is a star pitcher on the baseball team. But we still weren't sure what to expect because Nick had never played the position before. |
Great defense. My coaching staff made a great call. We were expecting a rollout and brought pressure from the right. |
He had a game which we needed. He's dropped a few balls this year, but in the rain, he catches everything. |
He worked so hard to prepare for the season, changed his throwing motion, and then it all came crashing down. |
I am really pleased about our quarterback. He did not make mistakes and played great football. |
I was so hesitant to make that call. I almost called a timeout. I thought, 'Are we throwing into the teeth of a monster?' I could see Young intercepting the ball and taking it 100 yards for a touchdown, but we made the play. |
Nick is one of the outstanding athletes in the league, |
Nick was great. They had a great run defense, they really shut down Taylor. That opened up the deep pass and we made some big plays. |
Our challenge to the players at halftime was can we put this team away. But we couldn't do it. |
The real tragedy is for Billy, not for the team, |
There seem to have been an increasing number of approaches made over recent weeks, but nothing is being consummated - all foreplay and no finish. It seems that private equity houses are having their bids rejected out of hand by shareholders in the hope that a bigger offer will be made. There is a lot of money in the market looking for a home and public company shareholders have clearly decided they should be demanding a much higher premium. |
They loaded up on us against the run, particularly to start the second half and we couldn't get an inch, |
They loaded up on us against the run, particularly to start the second half and we couldn't get an inch. They were daring us to throw, so we snuck a few throws in between the showers. We got a few throws in with the wind and those were big. |
