I knew where I was going before (I took the shot). Right when the whistle blew, I knew that it was going to be a goal. I got the ball, put it down as fast as I could and I heard commotion going on all around. I just stayed focused and new where I was going. The goalie got straight, but I put enough on it to slip it by. |
I know I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with him, in terms of guarding him. His center of balance is very low. He explodes up, and typically there's contact when he's making his moves. And most of the time ... he didn't move a whole lot when there was contact and we, unfortunately, were the recipient of that blow. |

I know they discussed it at the Aug. 5 meeting and the June board meeting. There were no other meetings regarding Jack. I think they're just trying to give Jack time to have his fair trial that he deserves. They don't want the decision to be based on the determination of the court. They're looking at the whole picture. |
I learn things every time I play, every rep. We're very young, especially on the offensive side of the ball. We are still trying to get a grasp of what we're running. We learn things every day on both sides of the ball. I think there are glimpses; I can see it. We've just got to get there and keep working through this. |
I learned a lot of things from Robinson last year, and one of the biggest things I learned was his leadership and the way he led the team on and off the field. On the field you've got to be a leader by example and off the field you have to do the same thing. Sometimes you've got to keep some guys in line and grab them. |
I like a fast tempo in practice but we have to slow some things down. We're teaching the players when to go hard and when you can back off. We're lean everywhere. We have just seven offensive linemen and the defensive line has had injuries. Running back and linebacker have the most depth and that isn't a ton right now. |
I met his cousin a few years ago in Mobile and he said Chris was creating home ownership opportunities in the area. We're in the talking stages, but it's definitely going to happen. We are looking for land to do an environmental analysis on. In the meantime, I want to find citizens who are interested in home ownership. |
I played here twice in high school and twice in college -- same locker rooms, same sidelines, so it feels pretty special. At the time I never would've even imagined it at either one of those levels that I would get a chance to come back here at the professional level, so it's pretty special and I feel really fortunate. |
I remember having Yo's trading card when I was younger. She is just a very hard worker, she's not afraid of anything, she tells you how it is. Teams need that. She's just a great leader. The veterans have pulled us in and made us feel comfortable, like we're all family. That's one of the biggest successes of this team. |
I remember the intellectual fashion for American decline in the 1970s, ... There was the stunning defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam , rioting in Detroit and Newark that suggested the social fabric was coming apart, talk of Rust Belt America unable to compete with the Japanese, and a sense the Russian bear was on the march. |
I see nothing but greatness ahead for him and therefore it made sense for all of us. There's no question that Rudy will fulfill the promise of those people who draft him. He's got every attribute. He's bright, he's a wonderful person, incredibly well raised and he's just a tremendously, tremendously talented young guy. |
I still believe that there is not a great deal of difference between the teams and I just think it's a matter of who's going to play well the whole weekend. I believe in what we could accomplish if we go and play like we did on Monday for 40 minutes, we've got as good a chance at beating McLennan as they do against us. |
I struggled last year and didn't play very well. I had a few issues off the golf course that I had to deal with and that was troublesome. But most of all, I wasn't real confident last year. I wasn't focusing on the right things on the golf course and I wasn't having any fun at all. That's a bad combination pretty much. |
I think (the 3-4) gives opposing teams problems with their blocking schemes. It's not like they can go out there and identify the coverage or blitz packages like they can in a regular 4-3 defense. We can show them some different fronts to try and confuse them from the get-go and do whatever we can to get them off beat. |
