Davis Quotes from:
-
Bet Quotes
It had elements of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday and little horn pieces. The way he combined that, I was like, ?Hmm. I bet he would get where I?m trying to go with this record.? It was taking a chance. God knows if he would even do it because it was kind of his first time, I think, even venturing into the ?pop? world. I knew that it would be a different and new thing for him.
-
Aggressive Quotes
I think they were really aggressive. I think both Anthony Davis and Dan Buenning were very aggressive on the left side. I don't know if you realized but the majority of the time when we were running the ball it was to the left side of the field behind those guys. I think they did a great job of establishing the line of scrimmage. And they did a better job in pass protection than I think any of us thought they would, so that was very encouraging.
-
Anywhere Quotes
Jennifer Hays can be a devastating attacking threat out of the back and her versatility could have her at the left flank and scoring goals for us from that position. Yvonne Davis will also challenge for the left back because last year she was a player that we could put her anywhere on the field that we needed her defensively.
-
Guys Quotes
Our original plan in the off-season was to slate the No. 5 spot in the rotation for a younger player (Jason Davis or Fausto Carmona) and to spend money to upgrade elsewhere. When we were unable to get some other things done, we saw an opportunity to improve the team by signing Jason. The young guys still could end up playing a role for us in 2006.
-
Designed Quotes
Steve's making the majority of the catches, but our offense isn't designed just to get him the ball, ... He's just getting open and making some great plays, and Jake is hooking up with him. Naturally, we'd like to spread it out a little more and get other guys (into the end zone), but whenever we can move the ball, it doesn't matter to us how we move it. Whether it's getting Steve catches or Stephen Davis a lot of carries, as long as we're efficient, it really doesn't matter.

Actions Quotes
It definitely is an honor to be counted on and be seen as a leader. It's a responsibility you don't take lightly and I try to make sure I am always accountable for my actions and to this basketball team. I have been here the longest of anyone and I know what coach Davis expects. I have tried to pass that along to the incoming players.
-
Aggressive Quotes
I thought Jordan (Coffman) stepped up early and hit a big shot, Kyle (Victoria) hit a couple of timely 3s and so did Timmy (Crowell). It kind of kept (OC) from completely suffocating the paint. It was also big that Davis was the X-factor with his energy and aggressive play on the offensive end.
-
Advantage Quotes
I think this was different that the situation in Oakland two years ago. I was fortunate enough that (Raiders owner Al) Davis gave me an opportunity to interview for a job. It was the first time I had ever gone through that process. After two weekends with him, I felt like I could interview with anybody. It really helped me grow a little bit. I think the timing today, the timing now, the timing this year was right, and I took advantage of the opportunity.

Best Quotes
That's what happens during the season, too, sometimes, and that's why you've got to have good depth. I think we have pretty good depth. Marcus was having a great spring until he turned his ankle. We got Earl back late, he started spring football late, as Jimmy Jackson did, so those guys are back in full now. Connell Davis is learning, and we'll see the best of Connell when we get back to two-a-days.
-
Averaged Quotes
That's the way it should be. I learned that my rookie year. I averaged 20 and 10, while Dale Davis averaged nine and eight. He was on Indiana and they were in second place in the East or whatever and he got the All-Star nod. This time we're the fourth best team in the West, I expect to be there.
-
Blowing Quotes
I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.
-
Air Quotes
I was one of 101 black officers arrested. And this was April 12th of 1945; they charged us with the 69th article of war - which is treason during wartime. Actually, what we did helped to get Colonel Davis back to command the group - the composite group here in the states. And also helped integrate the Air Force and the rest of the Armed Forces.
-
Amazing Quotes
While the fans see Dexter and Darren making big runs, it all starts with those guys up front. Ben Davis has an amazing (defensive) front, which it showed the first two games. But we talked about neutralizing their front and staying on blocks. That enabled (Taylor and Evans) to get to the second level and make plays.
-
Bit Quotes
You always want your leaders to have the ball, so that's working out for us this year. But that's something that scares me a little bit going into next year. We'll need some younger guys to step into that role next year. We'll definitely have to go big at times next year. But that's why the second half of this season is going to be so important. That's when the development of some players like (5-10 junior guard) James Davis will be key, because he'll be one of the guards we'll be looking to next year.
-
Believe Quotes
Tiger is not playing as well as he did then. Guys like Vijay, Phil (Mickelson), Davis (Love) and me have elevated a little bit, and the gap has closed a bit. I think guys get to the first tee and really believe they can win with Tiger in the field. Golf will humble the best of them and that's where we are.
-
Belly Quotes
To have a chance, Lucas must both demonstrate he still has the fire in the belly to serve in Congress and succeed in making this race as much of a personal popularity contest as it can be. Still, you can bet Davis will seek to tie his opponent to his party label at every turn, and we give the freshman Republican an early leg up.
-
Concerned Quotes
We were searching for the right combination. I was concerned with our energy level after two tough games.We finally made a few stops on defense, Steiner gave us a lift, and Davis woke up a bit. We got it down to 10 points and then couldn't score on three of four possessions. That was the game.
-
Bill Quotes
We were working... with Frank Sinatra. He was in the main room, and we were in the lounge. It was a real thrill to meet and actually become friends with people like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Dean Martin. They were all working the Sands at that time... and Bill and I became... well, not close friends, but at least acquaintances where they knew us by name, and most of them just called us the righteous boys.
-
Best Quotes
We've got to get Paul Davis going. Once we get him going, that's going to open up a lot of things on the outside. That's the best way to play, inside out. Right now, neither of us is playing to our capabilities. We're the seniors. We've got to lead this team. The young guys look to us. If we're not playing well, we're not going to win.
-
Add Quotes
We are excited to add Dale Davis to our roster for the upcoming season, ... Dale is a veteran presence that has proven himself in the regular season and playoffs. His defensive presence and rebounding will help solidify our bench while his experience will provide added value in our locker room.
-
Adjust Quotes
What Officer Davis didn't anticipate after he stopped one drunk driver was another drunk driver going that fast and totally oblivious, ... All the defendant had to do to avoid a crash was to take his feet off the accelerator, apply the brakes for a half second and adjust his speed some way.
-
Came Quotes
We knew how good Wendell was. And we knew they would make a run. The question was how good would we handle their run. We handled their pressure but the turnovers hurt us. They came out and rebounded the second half and got our guys in foul trouble. Davis hit some NBA threes in the second half that he missed in the first half.
-
Alex Quotes
what came from Manchester; Stevie Winwood and Spencer Davis were the Birmingham contingent and then from the North we had The Animals, Eric Burdon -- and further up north was the Alex Harvey Band from Scotland. We all converged on London, we all had our own different styles, and it just became the London melting pot, really.
-
Advantage Quotes
We just played terrible in the first half. Davis had a great first half and we were just horrible. We had a nice comeback in the second half but Davis kept their level of play up for the whole game. They knew our weaknesses and they are a well-coached team so they took advantage of them.
