Balls Quotes
It felt good to be back on the field and to get a chance to work out the kinks. It was good to be out there catching balls and running routes. There was some good and bad. We were getting the springtime fire out there. For the most part, I think the intensity level of everybody was high.

Against Quotes
I'm so used to catching some balls out of the backfield. Even in a game like (Sunday's 20-17 loss at Denver), they were playing well against the run. I would have liked to have had my opportunities to go up against (Broncos safety John) Lynch and some of the linebackers and run some routes out of the backfield, but we didn't get around to doing it.

Against Quotes
I'm so used to catching some balls out of the backfield, ... Even in a game like yesterday, they were playing well against the run. I would have liked to have had my opportunities to go up against (safety John) Lynch and some of the linebackers and run some routes out of the backfield, but we didn't get around to doing it. I'm not blaming anyone. I understand, it's hard to call plays and try to make things work.

Balance Quotes
That's the unfortunate thing is that we needed him right away, and he helped us right away. Now you are seeing a balance of strength in his body, catching up to handle the rigors of constant pounding. You see him at full strength now. I think Kyle will continue to get better. With more minutes you should see productivity increase because he can be on the floor longer and play harder. He's not favoring a knee or something like that. He's probably going to have the other shoulder fixed after the season. So he's going to deal with that a little longer. But the lower body for the first time in his career is actually not failing him.

Battling Quotes
I was proud of them for battling back, but it's really frustrating. At the start of the third quarter, which is so very important, we came out and gave up three quick baskets. All of a sudden, we are down 13. That's really important to establish (tempo) at the start of the third quarter and not let them jump on you. That really hurt us. We spent the rest of the time catching up.

Based Quotes
You have to embrace and welcome the role that you're given. A lot of people on the outside always said to me, 'You need to have statistics to say you're a great player.' I didn't buy into that. The only statistics I looked at were wins and losses. Whether I was catching two passes in a game or clearing the way for Jerome, I just wanted to win. There was a year when I had 18 receptions and six went for touchdowns (in '97). I made plays when I had to. I just don't think you can make a fair judgment on a tight end based solely on numbers. I'm sure Heath feels the same way about this, because from what I've heard, he's an unselfish kid who wants to be a winner.

Brings Quotes
When we're covering for seven seconds and he's back there running around with the ball, that's hard. That's what he brings to the table. He can run -- he runs a 4.4 -- so when he gets out there, you might have some trouble catching him. He's going to be an incredible player and he's a heck of an athlete. Hopefully, he turns out to be our Vince Young.

Area Quotes
We played well in the transition game and we were able to clear the ball 18 times. We did well passing and catching and we were much sharper in that area (yesterday) than we have been the previous two games. McCarthy has really picked up his game and Rooney obviously sets the tone on offense.
-
America Quotes
We're reeling. Everything is up on the table and we are going to be under this cloud for a while. For a long time, people have been so focused on earnings that corporate America realized that they can get away with playing games with the balance sheet, and now it's catching up with them.

Ball Quotes
We had a couple of dropped balls but it was the first away game. The fans were going crazy and, I'm not going to lie, I was rattled a little bit. At first when we tried to stretch it out, we had a couple of drops. Every ball Drew threw, Drew was on point. It was just about catching the ball.

Assume Quotes
There are initiatives in place to deter counterfeiters and those who sell fraudulent or phony products to prevent or treat avian flu. The use of unproven flu cures and treatments increases the risk of catching and spreading the flu rather than lessening it because people assume they are protected and safe and they aren't. I consider it a public health hazard when people are lured into using bogus treatments based on deceptive or fraudulent medical claims.

Brothers Quotes
We'd always come to the big track at Talladega when I was a kid, and we'd drive by the dirt track. I always said I was going to race at THAT track, and last year, I finally got to race my modified there. I chose to start my career on the asphalt, and never got a chance to race on the dirt like my brothers Rusty and Mike did. So now, I'm just catching up.
-
Absolutely Quotes
We've had some bad starts, but that was our worst all season. To be unprepared like that, knowing what was coming, there's absolutely no excuse. Soft, sloppy play has been the characteristic of ourselves. We've just been getting by and pretending, and it's finally catching up with us.

Cramps Quotes
Turnovers had a lot to do with it and not executing like we needed to. For some reason were catching cramps tonight and I don't know what that was all about. We hydrate probably more than everybody in the state. Some of our key players were not in there during the last part of the game when we needed them.
