Execute Quotations | Page 2

Sir, our Iraqi partners have been conducting battalion and Brigade-size operations since April. They have been planning and coordinating with other Iraqi security forces, such as the Iraqi police and local government agencies, preparing for this referendum. Sir, we as coalition forces, we have taken a supporting role only as they prepare to execute this referendum.

Mike inherited a somewhat difficult situation with 21 games remaining in the 2003-04 season, but he did an outstanding job of steering us into the playoffs. We very much look forward to having Mike return for a full NHL season as the Blues' head coach and give him the opportunity to execute his overall vision for this team and a plan for success.

Obviously we didn't execute what we needed to execute to get that done. We did the cardinal mistake on that one. That's my fault.

No one politician should be allowed to judge the guilt, to charge an individual, to judge the guilt of an individual and to execute an individual.

Only a crazy person wouldn't fear approaching a car with tinted windows during a late-night car stop, or pounding up a flight of stairs to execute a search warrant, or fast-roping from a helicopter down into hostile fire. Real agents, like real people, feel that fear in the pit of their stomachs.

My back is fine; the cold weather had nothing to do with it and the way I felt physically had nothing to do with it. I didn't execute the pitches.

My back bothered me just a little bit. But the reason I got hit was that I was high in the strike zone. With their team, they've been making contact the first two games of this series pretty hard, and today they took advantage of everything that I made mistakes on in the strike zone. But my back had really nothing to do with it. I just didn't execute pitches.

More than anything, you're just trying to execute each play as it's called and have good tempo, have good rhythm, have good enthusiasm.

My guess is we'll certainly be emotionally attached to the game like we should. Whether or not we execute in a way we want remains to be seen.

Maybe it was control in the strike zone today, ... I left a lot of balls over the plate and they did what you are supposed to do with balls over the plate. I didn't execute the pitches the way I needed to, and they didn't let me off the hook.

Now that we've done all this, our destiny is in our hands. It's up to us to perform. This new structure will help us better execute our strategy.

Now that everybody has some games under their belts, they know what's expected of them. We execute and make hustle plays. We're trying to get our confidence up now that we're heading for the playoffs.

Neither team really executed well tonight, but both sides played good defense. We just didn't execute well and it seemed like we got out of sync with doing the things we've done up to this point. I think some of that was nerves tonight.

Possessions are also really key. Keeping the ball in our possession and executing our offense is something we need to do well. We've been a good team all season long of taking care of the basketball. I think there's been 10 or 12 games where we've been under eight turnovers. Those two things are the keys for any one of the teams in the tournament. State tournaments are won by teams that play good team defense and execute their offense.

Navy came out like a house of fire. We took their first punch and responded. We did a very good job of picking up our defense and working harder to execute our offense.

On the offensive end, if we couldn't get into our sets and execute we were going to have problems. I don't know what (Gardner) shot in the first half but they were smoking. They were hot. You just keep thinking you can hold on and they'll cool down a little bit, but they didn't miss and we played catch-up the whole night.

I was flabbergasted we couldn't execute something we have run every day in practice for the last five months.

I was smart and I had a game plan. I seemed to execute just how I wanted to -- only one bogey on 16.

I was telling the guys over here that was the one thing they didn't do last year: execute with runners in scoring position. But I tip my cap to the guys for executing like that.

I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't concerned. It's all mental and physical toughness when you go on the road. You've got to do a better job taking care of the ball. Every mistake you make magnifies. Rebounding and being able to execute offensively are huge, especially with a team like Arizona.

If we don't have those (mistakes) I think it's a blowout. But we didn't execute and go home with a loss.

If we execute this the right way, it is a great first step to show people how we can present content in a different kind of way than television,

If we execute and share the basketball and move bodies, then we are a tough team to defend because we have a lot of guys that can do a lot of different things on the offensive end. Defensively, we turned it up and held them to one shot, and because of it, we got momentum.

If we play like that against a Big 12 team on the road, you're going to get beat. There are 10 wasted opportunities a game. If we can't get our wasted possessions to three or four, then we don't need to run like that. We need to execute better, keep our turnovers down.

If we have to win games late, well, we try to get them out of the way early. We try to build a lead early and execute offense late in the game. But if we have to win games like this, I think we can step up to the challenge and win them.

If we can execute defensively as well as we do offensively, we have a chance to be a really good team.

If they were to execute brilliantly they could find they could pass a whole bunch of these guys. But the proof really is in the pudding.

If we can't learn to execute and tackle better, we're going to get into a vicious cycle.

If we can rightfully say that we cannot execute children because of their mental capacity and age, then we should arrive at the same logic that we cannot give children life sentences without parole,

I have found a deep sense of commitment and pride from the Nortel employees and I am excited by the energy generated for our business transformation, integrity renewal and growth activities. I also want to thank our employees and leadership team who have continued to execute with a passionate customer focus in the face of many challenges over the last several years.

I don't know Fitch very well and Fitch doesn't know us very well. It's one of those games you show up and hope you play your game and that your defense shows up. You play good defense and execute your offense, you're going to win.

I didn't like our offensive execution at all. I didn't expect us to come flying out of the gate to start the season, but I have faith in these guys. We've got to work harder and execute better at the offensive end.

I didn't go out and execute two pitches. You have to go out and execute any pitches you make.

I don't know what the deal was, but we abandoned the run. We abandoned the run -- I don't know what it was. I can't sit here and tell you it was because of the fumbles or it wasn't, but for whatever reason it was, we abandoned the run. I think when we get to go out there and execute our game plan it's hard to beat us. Every time we become one-dimensional we end up losing.

I don't know why we don't execute in that area. It's there to be had. We just for whatever reason can't stand prosperity, I guess. Plus, I think we like our kickers to be tops in America in scoring points.

I don't know why we don't execute in that area. It's there to be had. We just, for whatever reason, can't stand prosperity, I guess. Plus, I think we like our kickers to be tops in America in scoring points.

I don't care about all that stuff. I don't believe in voodoo or jinxes or the curse of the Bambino. Quite frankly, Ball State has outplayed us. Our mental attitude has not been quite right and they've played hard. We need to make sure we're emotionally ready. We called on our seniors this week to make sure our preparation is done right and that we execute and play with emotion in the game.

Ideas are nothing. They're irrelevant. If you think your idea is so important, you're doomed. The reality is if you don't like one idea, I've got 299 more. If I tell you my idea, and you can execute better against that idea than I can - great; I get to play a terrific game.

I am disappointed. I didn't execute shots. I'm going to try to retrieve this round and have a good back nine.

I believe very much in the people, I believe in the vision that's been presented. There's obviously been opposing viewpoints as to how that vision should be executed and who should execute it, but I think we're on the right track.

I am really proud of what our team was able to do tonight. This was good for our team to execute down the stretch and take care of the ball.

Cassini will probably execute a flawless mission around the Earth if it can make the last hurdle through 8,000 pieces of 'space junk' surrounding the Earth,

(Catholic is) a good basketball team. They execute well and they've got three or four guards who are very good and a couple good post players. It'll be a good challenge for us.

But even if we would execute perfectly on our corporate strategy, unless we have the right channels to the market to bridge the last few meters to the consumer, it's all in vain.

Bear has three quality pitches and a real feel for pitching. What really stands out is that he can execute under pressure situations. He has a composure on the mound and a competitive edge that sets him apart.

Because we had early leads, we were able to practice and execute some additional systems that we do not usually play.

I have a role. I go out there and try to execute my role on Sundays. If that role expands, it expands. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

I hate really making excuses for what happened, but he didn't catch many breaks. Jeremy didn't have things go his way. He's a pinpoint control pitcher and just fell behind a couple of hitters and didn't execute a perfect game plan.

I had very good command tonight and I felt I threw the ball well. I had a very good game plan and was able to execute it.

I give Lisle a lot of credit. They run the system and they execute it. I quit counting their offensive rebounds at 19. That was one of the few things I had written on the board: 'execute our system, stop the ball, and box out.' And when you do barely one of those, you're going to struggle. We're back to square one. We need to start over from the beginning.

I felt pretty good about the way our girls stepped up tonight. In the end, it came down to execution, and we didn't execute like we needed to.

I felt like we really didn't execute the way we needed to. There were silly turnovers. We didn't do a very good job defensively.

I felt like I could throw every pitch with conviction and not worry about my mechanics. The walks today came up and bit me. ... I just couldn't execute my pitches.

I feel real really good. I can call any scheme in practice and have confidence that they'll execute it. If you have a gun with six bullets, you shoot all of them. Last year, I had a gun with no bullets so now I feel totally different. It's exciting.

I can't say enough about the way our defense played. We will have to have more of the same against Hickory plus rebound and execute well meaning our shot selection needs to be good and we need to make them.

Given the increasingly competitive global marketplace, successful companies require a sophisticated and up-to-date understanding of trends and events, their likely impact and the choices they face. We provide that essential perspective and the ability to help shape and execute results-oriented strategies.

Given the challenging acquisition market we are pleased to have acquired these outstanding properties. We continue to focus our growth in high growth and high barrier to entry markets. We currently have over $600 million of potential acquisitions in various stages of due diligence, and are optimistic about our ability to execute our acquisition strategy.

Getting that runner on and having him thrown out, it would've been easy for them to hang their heads. I'm just proud of our guys. It was a tremendous effort. We've done those types of things all year. And our guys seem to execute when they are called upon.

Give credit to Minnesota's penalty-kill unit. We didn't execute our power play on either five-minute advantage and Minnesota took advantage. We'll regroup and be ready to go tomorrow night.

Frankly some of the branches did not execute at the branch level. That is disappointing but we are working very hard to get that message out today.

For some reason teams don't think we can execute against the zone. Rich Central came out in a zone right away and we can score on that.

I don't think we need to do anything differently. We need to do things consistently. That's been our biggest challenge this year. We haven't continued to execute for 60 minutes the way we need to. We haven't put together the 60 minutes on both sides of the ball.

I don't think it's anything major at all. We've got to play better, I guess, execute better and do the little things right. Hopefully, we can get this month over with and maybe we'll come out in May and go 30-0 or something.

For most of three quarters, we showed what we're capable of doing when we execute and play smart. We led one of the best teams in the district by 20 points. I doubt anyone has led them by 20 this season. But then we got away from the things we were doing, had calls go against us and things started to snowball. Then, just like that, the lights went out for our kids.

Give them all the credit. We didn't execute on offense, especially in the first half.

If we would have maybe closed some of those games where we had leads going into the fourth, or the last four minutes, we could be right there. We've beaten some good teams. I think if some of those games would have went our way, we'd be in the playoffs, but they didn't. I think we have the talent here. We just have to pull it together and execute better.

He either scores or makes good passes to the guards so they're able to get the knockdown shot or make something else good happen. I think we executed what Coach wanted us to execute on the offensive end.

We feel if we play like we're supposed to and execute like we're supposed to, everything will take care of itself.

We expect to execute in such a fashion that not only do our clients enjoy working with us, but word gets out,

We just have to go out and work together and make sure we execute plays. I'm not worried about them, they know what they have to do.

We just have to get it done no matter how long we're out there. Big plays can kill you, man. That's why you have to execute on every down. You do all that work, and then they hit a big play on you. That can't be how we do things.

We just have to get better offensively. It's definitely frustrating. We have a game plan, a job to execute it and for whatever reason, it doesn't happen.

We just have to execute in the last five minutes like we have done all game. It's not from a lack of effort on anyone's part, but we just seem to get in a hurry on both ends of the court.

We just have to execute better. We can't turn the ball over (seven) times. That night, our minds were not ready to play.

We're profitable and have the potential to be very profitable, ... We generate cash from operations of over $1 billion per quarter. We have $19 billion in cash and equivalents in an industry that is in debt. We've gained more market share than we've ever gained in this last quarter. We've got the customer loyalty and strategy for where the industry's going, which is combining networks for service providers and enterprises. So I'm very optimistic about our future if we execute right.

We're obviously disappointed that we're not getting the results like we'd prefer, but fundamentally we're doing good things. We possessed the ball and attacked very well on Sunday (a 1-0 loss to Cincinnati) and we hit the crossbar once, so we had opportunities in the game, but we failed to convert our chances. We need to be more organized and execute better when we have our opportunities to score goals.

We've got to minimize mistakes. We absolutely have to execute in the red zone. In two games, we've been fairly successful moving from our 20-, 30-yard line to other teams' 20 or 30 -- and then we bog down. Instead of really concentrating, we've been sloppy.

We've gone on the road and won at two very difficult places. We've got another hostile environment this week, but we know that we can win wherever we play if we execute and do the things we need to do.

We think as we continue to execute on our 2006 plan that it will reflect itself in our share price.

We are extremely pleased to have acquired this government contract as it demonstrates that MSSI continues to successfully execute its business plan.

Going back over the last ten U.S. Opens I've played in, I think this course is probably the best because it leaves no room for error, ... You're not going to get away with anything on Pinehurst No. 2. You have to plan your shots well and execute them.

Going through games like this should really help us to be able to close it the right way. To execute it offensively and defensively at the end is huge.

Going on the road in the Pac-10 is always a challenge. And Arizona State is playing great basketball. They're really going to make us have to play great defense and execute our offense. But it's another great chance for us to get better and build on what we've accomplished.

He's got the mental fortitude to block everything out and just focus on the hitter, focus on the task and then execute the pitch to get that hitter out. Andy would be my guy.

He's done a good job. He has minimized his mental mistakes. He's become a starter and he has played fast in the games and made some plays. We (will) keep working with him in hopes that he'll be able to execute on a consistent basis and continue to eliminate those mental errors that can get him in trouble.

There aren't very many guys who would even try to make that pass let alone execute it.

We have to be balanced, ... We have to execute on offense but, at the same time, we have to play better defense. We have to remember who we are. I'm going to go with my strength. If I think that we're a pressure team that's going to create turnovers like we did last year, that's what we'll do. If I think we have the personnel to be a little more physical, to be a little more half-court oriented and not press as much, that's what we'll do. A lot of it is about personnel.

We looked at him last year, quite a bit. Kelly's a smart, experienced quarterback. He's very capable of managing a game and doing what they need him to do to have success and it will be up to us to execute what we have to, to try to stop it.

We made some adjustments on our press in the second half and played straight man. We tweaked our the high-low. It was good to be able to show them some things at halftime and actually have them come out and execute it.

He was good in the pen. Just one of those things where he didn't execute a couple pitches. You're facing all young kids who are hacking.... They probably don't even know that he has a great split-finger, so they're probably going to the plate oblivious to everything.

I agree he should be severely punished, but you do not need to execute him to accomplish that.

He (Vaughan) sets a field and the boys just bowl to it, bowl to the plan and execute it perfectly,

He can throw to both sides of the plate with all his pitches. If there is a way to get a hitter out and he knows it, he can execute it.

He can move runners, bunt and execute the hit-and-run.

Greenfield is currently ranked 10th in the area, but we made them look like state champs. With a few exceptions, we just did not execute well and continued to violate some of the basic rules of wresting.

Guys were disappointed and frustrated. It?s the kind of feeling that we don?t want to have during the playoffs, especially when you know you can give a little more and play a little harder and execute a little better. We all what we have to do and we can compete with every team in this division. It?s up to us to come together as a group and make some noise and make a run, which we?re capable of doing.

Guys just stayed with it and executed. We didn't execute down the stretch and came into overtime and just executed everything we tried to run . . . Guys are in shape. We've been running a lot in practice and preseason, so that was our goal, to come out and try to wear them down.
