Ask Quotes
They were very fair with the money in the deal. Marvin approached me at the Senior Bowl and said we needed to move on this deal, and that's what happened. Bobbie likes the team, he likes the situation and he likes playing for (offensive line coach) Paul Alexander. This blocking system fits Bobbie; he's a mauler-type and that's what they ask of him.

Credit Quotes
It was just one of those nights where things just worked out, the timing was there, the blocking was there, it's very unusual that something like this happens, but it did and we're real happy for him. William deserves everything he gets out there and I'm sure he'll tell you the offensive line takes the credit for his offense and also the returns go to the special teams.

Backs Quotes
They will run a 4-4, ... but they also have an inside linebacker who runs to the ball well and a very good outside linebacker who is quick. We have to do a good job of blocking people at the point of attack. Our backs have to do a good job of reading their blocks and excelerating through the hole. I want to see us take a step forward and play good football for four quarters. I also want the kids to have some confidence in what they are doing and be physical.

Change Quotes
Things change from one coach to another and from one system to another and we had a lot of success (14-2) on the field, ... Sometimes when you have the whole team succeeding, everything clicks and things go well. In 2000, Mark Brunell had a lot of confidence in me as a receiver and he just started looking my way. Jimmy Smith went down in a couple of games and he (Brunell) just started spraying it to me. I think those couple of games kind of changed the perception that I could do a little more to help the team than just being a blocking tight end. It was very satisfying to me and nice to have that type of opportunity because my goal at all levels was to be a good all-around player.

Confidence Quotes
The key to the game for us will be blocking their blitzes. We're going to have to step it up on defense. Hopefully, we can get everything together. We need a confidence builder. Just going out and winning a game is what we need. You want to keep them positive. This week, hopefully, is the pay off for all their hard work.

Access Quotes
The failure of the EU to make a meaningful offer on agricultural market access is deeply disappointing. Those EU member states who talk up their contribution to development are now blocking the most significant steps the global community could take in years to create new opportunities for the world's poorest countries.

Ball Quotes
If you don't get your touches, there's other ways to be productive for us. That's on the defensive end, blocking shots, running the floor like a thoroughbred. If you run the floor, you have a guy that's willing and able to pass you the ball and reward you for running the floor. Those types of things.

Corner Quotes
In preseason games, he's out there going down and blocking shots. He's not an imposing figure as far as size goes, but he plays like it. ... He goes in the corner and he's taking the hit. He's done that. That's rare for a guy with the talents that he has, to still fight in the corner and do what he does.

Attention Quotes
I really don't pay that much attention to stats and stuff, but I do take a lot of pride in trying to be a complete player. I just try to do whatever I can to help us win games, whether it's scoring points, rebounding, blocking shots, passing, playing great defense, whatever it takes.

Basically Quotes
In a 4-3 you know exactly who you've got, you've got one man and you're going to be basically blocking him. In a 3-4 you could have the tackle some time, you could get a linebacker some time or a defensive end who is standing. They'll throw a lot more looks and a lot more mixes at you in a 3-4.
-
Along Quotes
It helps. I cant tell you how much it helps. Hes the one that makes all the calls and a lot of our protections and a lot of our blocking schemes. We have two, three, maybe four plays called in the huddle. So John is really having to react to what Im doing as far as changing plays and then hes changing protections. Hes changing running plays and assignments. Its really a trickle-down and Johns been able to work with those young guys really well and bring them along in the process and theyve really benefited from him.

Areas Quotes
It has gone into a blocking pattern, areas of high pressure that get locked into place. There is one locked into place over the North Pacific. It's like a train wreck; nothing goes anywhere. It causes the whole circulation to stay in place. The whole hemisphere is tied into it; it explains why it is still dry in Texas.
-
Bench Quotes
I think Ali's going to have to play real big in this game coming off the bench. You should always make sure you come off the bench with a lot of aggression. In past games she's been amazing. She's always the poster child in blocking shots, so I definitely think that's going to be a big thing.
-
Assert Quotes
He's still got another year left and he's gotten a lot stronger since last year by hitting the weights. He's about 210 pounds, which is about 15 pounds more than last year. He's starting to assert himself as one of the best big men in the City.... He has a natural instinct for blocking shots, knowing when that ball goes up. He gets off the ground pretty quickly. In his mind, he wants to block every shot. He's such a fierce shot-blocker. He makes the shooter think every time they come in his area, every time.
-
Bad Quotes
He's the closest thing to Randy Moss, but he's bigger and faster. When he's not catching the ball, he's out there blocking on every play. I don't know Randy Moss. I don't want to say anything bad about him. But I think he takes some plays off. Not Calvin. He's a humble guy and he gives it everything he's got, even in practice.

Fools And Foolishness Quotes
I don't know if you ever fool anyone, but you give them different wrinkles and you give them things that may look like something you've run before and you actually run something different out of it, ... It still comes down to executing and going out and blocking and tackling and running a route and throwing and guys making plays.
-
Carry Quotes
He's an extremely intelligent guy who picked up the system. And a big part of that is pass protection. That's the No. 1 thing. Can you pick up our scheme and the blocking we're doing? Because before you can do anything, before you can carry the football, you have to protect the quarterback. That's No. 1.

Avoid Quotes
I don't think we had any major problems on the offensive line. We were all at the game. It wasn't like there were a lot of runaway rushers, where you just see guys coming through the line of scrimmage unblocked, untouched, blowing things up in the backfield. There were times when we got pushed back. There were times when we pushed them a little bit. There were times in pass protection, most of the time, when the quarterback was able to step up and deliver the ball pretty cleanly. In relative terms, it was OK. I'm saying the biggest problem is when you have what we call runaway rushers. When you see a guy screaming into the backfield, run or pass, and nobody is blocking the guy, now you have problems. You certainly want to avoid that.

Attitude Quotes
You could tell he was frustrated. It never stopped him from working hard, blocking shots, talking out on the ice, leading by example for the younger guys. He kept a positive attitude and was actually making light of it for a while, but I'm glad he loosened up, and I'm glad to see he's broken the slump.
