Offensive Quotations | Page 2

We're just not getting guys on base, and we're certainly not driving them in when we do. Everybody's frustrated. We've gone two weeks now without really much of an offensive threat. The real problem is that we're not getting the bats in the zone very good right now.

We're getting better. We had 34 offensive rebounds in two games last week, and I told the guys if we continue that we'll be hard to beat.

We're getting better every day. Tom is a great outside runner, Hunter runs the ball inside, and (fullback) Jamie Jackson gets around the blocks. And the offensive line is coming together, even though pretty much everyone is new. If we play as we've practiced, look for big improvement.

We're becoming consistent now, and that's what we strive for. We've put a couple of games together in a row and that's all we can ask for. That was a quality offensive football team even if they didn't have Corey Dillon.

We're beating ourselves. If you give up 13 offensive rebounds and don't control turnovers you just can't win.

Throughout the game we tried to concentrate on keeping our composure. We knew they had a run in them, they are a great offensive team. It was just a matter of us not making mistakes we made before.

With the plays that we run, there are a lot of opportunities for open baskets, and, when we are making our shots and being more aggressive, we can be a pretty decent offensive team.

With the plan in place to improve efficiency and reduce overcapacity as well as fixed costs, and the acceleration of an extraordinary product offensive representing 45 significant new products over the next five years, we are confident our European operations are driving toward sustained profitable growth.

With the offensive lineup that we have, you can afford that, to squeeze something like that in, ... If you can get a fly-ball catcher to hold the fort and support the pitching staff, you won?t be doing yourself an injustice.

We knew Zillah would come to play and we knew we had the weather the storm. In the third quarter we were a little more patient on offense and we got some better looks. We also did a lot better job with offensive rebounds.

We knew, with this being senior night, that he was going to come out and play. You cannot let an offensive player get in a rhythm and we let him make a couple of jumpers early.

We knew we wouldn't have very many offensive opportunities. I think we put in a great effort and took advantage.

We let two explosion (big pass) plays happen early, and they scored 10 points against our first defense, but other than that, I was happy with our defense and offensive execution. West has an excellent running team, and we did pretty well against it until the second half. They just keep coming at you.

We knew they were going to come at us very hard the first three or four minutes of the ballgame, and we had to withstand that and had to take care of the ball more than anything else. In our practices, on our offensive sets we were just taking care of the ball more than shooting. We didn't want to have turnovers, because that would fuel what they do.

We knew they were a very, very good basketball team coming in. Stew does a fantastic job, and they are a very efficient basketball team, especially on the offensive end.

We knew they were aggressive on the offensive boards. We knew we had to run on them early.

We know what our capabilities are: to have our defense get some stops and try to get started on our offensive game, which wasn't happening for us.

We know we've got the offensive here. The problem is our play defensively. We get away from it sometimes.

We know we have a good offensive team. We knew we could scramble back and pick up runs here and there. That's what we did.

We know Clinton is a great back, ... and I think we've got a pretty good offensive line. So putting those things together, I think we can expect big things from him this year.

David Ortiz is an icon. He is one of a kind. But we'll do our best job to replace the offensive aspect, however we can.

We're still going to go out there and play and we're going to work together. We're still going to go out on our regular nights and have dinner together as an offensive line and as a unit.

We're still a run-oriented team. We take pride in our offensive line. Even with a line that was 4/5th new last year we ran for 2,000 yards. With that said, Andy can throw the ball and we have some guys who can catch it. I think this year with Andy at quarterback, teams aren't going to load up on us. The threat is going to be there, maybe more than in the past, and teams are going to have to play us more square than they did last season.

We have to get to the offensive glass. We didn't crash the boards when we should have. We settled for jumpers instead of getting to the line.

We have to find two offensive lineman to replace those guys. That's a priority.

We have some backs that are good runners, but our offensive line is really coming on. That was one of our questions coming into the season, and we've got some guys that are really stepping up.

We have so many skill guys. If you don't get a handle on Kerry or Kendall that can be a problem. And we have so many receivers and that's been the biggest surprise. Our thing is working with the offensive line. We've been spending a lot time with them.

What (the offensive line has) been able to do up front has been amazing.

When you score that little in a quarter, it's probably part defense and part you're missing some shots that you normally make. So we're not going to pound ourselves on the chest because I remember three or four they had right in a row at the basket over our midgets where the ball just happened to fall out. We try to play good defense yet we understand how good of an offensive team they are.

When your shots don't fall, you just have to go get offensive rebounds and keep working hard.

We want him to get offensive opportunities - no question. I think that he can get more opportunities in running the floor, getting early post up which he did. Tonight was a little unusual where he had more than a number of attempts at dunking the basketball going to the rim so I think that's a little bit unusual.

We were a real explosive offensive team at times last year, but we weren't as consistent as we need to be. I'm hoping our leadership and experience will make us more consistent, everybody buckling down and being tougher.

We were trying to squeeze her, one (defender) over the top of her and one behind her. We took away the entry pass; they weren't getting the ball to her. She was getting the offensive rebound.

We've won games that way. We've shot poorly and then got on the offensive boards and played defense. They were just too good.

The offensive presence of Greg Ostertag is quite overwhelming sometimes!

We'll be awful good on defense. We'll have a good offensive team. How good? It depends on how some guys come through for us in some key areas. Our biggest concern is our depth on offense.

We'll be as good as our offensive line allows us to be.

The internet is the most complex system that humans have ever invented. And with every internet enabled operation that we've seen so far, all of these offensive operations, we see knock on effects. We see unintended consequences.

Stop saying no offense,” I said, “when you say offensive things. It’s not a free pass.

It's offensive to me to be called a cost cutter,

This was as good a game as I've seen us put together from an offensive standpoint and defensive standpoint.

We did not do a good job on the offensive end tonight. We need to really tighten up our offense and make sure we're running our stuff if we want to go to the finals.

We did it just before the half. Our offensive coordination expected us to down there and score.

We did good, addressed some needs. Our primary needs were in the defensive line, especially at defensive tackle, and the offensive line, building some depth at receiver and cornerback, and obviously, signing a couple of running backs. I think we got those things accomplished.

We did a very poor job in trying to block them off of the boards. They just killed us on the offensive boards.

There are some signs that in recent weeks Saddam Hussein has been concentrating more on defensive measures rather than offensive measures.

The only times I got sacked was when I was trying to make plays on my own. It wasn't that the offensive line had let down. They did a great job.

We defended better and we attacked the basket. Our guys inside put up a relentless, tremendous effort. There was one possession where we got three or four offensive rebounds before we finally got fouled.

We decided to take an offensive stance relative to our pricing...in order to increase the size of our footprint in the marketplace.

We decided that we needed to make a move to improve our offense. We promoted Joe to offensive coordinator because we feel that he will be able to help us turn this around.

We're playing in an environment in the last decade that's been tailored to produce offensive numbers anyway, with the smaller ballparks, the smaller strike zone and so forth,

We're playing great defense right now, no doubt about that. We're not just getting it done on the offensive end.

We thought we could get to the offensive boards. I thought we were a little bit bigger than they were. ... a little more athletic with our big girls. That's what we have to do. If we're going to win games, we've got to get to the boards and everybody knows that.

We're able to tell the truth in a way that you can't tell with real people. I think because it's animated, you um, you have enough of a barrier to say things that people might find offensive or be sort of appalled, or the censors would go 'no way', you know, because it's animated.

We're a better offensive team than we were the other night. We turned down some open shots, so we need to be aggressive. Being aggressive is taking an open shot.

We're a better offensive team than people give us credit for.

We ran the same offensive and defensive plays in the first six minutes as the rest of the game. We just started to play South Lenoir basketball. Tonight was just a good team effort. We showed a lot of heart tonight.

We ran the ball ten times better than we have all year and when we do that we don't have to throw it as much. (Our running backs) ran the ball really well. The offensive line came up huge as well and created some big holes.

We're a team that does ... just enough to put yourself in a position and not enough good to win. That was poor defense, poor, poor defense. They scored 49 points in a half with very marginal offensive players. When they missed, they crushed us on the boards.

We're a pretty good offensive team. We just have to quit wasting a lot of at-bats. Every day there's progress. We're making progress like the turtle, but at least we're going in the right direction.

We're applying a bit more pressure up top. We added an extra offensive midfielder. We tried to take it to them today so we could maybe have success early.

We're always strong on the offensive boards, especially Julie. Our rebounding is definitely one of our biggest strengths.

We held a highly potent offensive team to 16 points in the first half. The defense was getting it done. It was the offense we were lacking.

We had no offensive continuity. We just kind of sat around as if we really didn't know what to do and no matter what, we just couldn't get out of that dry spell.

We've won three of our last five now. They've kind of turned the corner. Our play, our tempo, our offensive zone play is back.

When I turned on the TV one day and saw he was the offensive coordinator for the Patriots, the first thing I thought was ... Charlie? Wow, maybe I should have known that since I'm in sports broadcasting. Of course, now I try to get tickets and can't, and he doesn't return phone calls.

We settled down after the slow start. We have a lot of experience on the offensive side of the ball and I thought we could we could wear them down.

We set out as our goal to hold them to 50 points, and they got 53. We just didn't get it down on the offensive end of the court.

Real racist jokes or sexist jokes aren't funny - not because they're offensive, but because they're not true. As soon as a joke is based on an untruth, it's not funny.

We?re just trying to play faster. From what I saw with some of the kids we have I thought we could tap into some of the offensive resources they had. As we moved along our focus has been to get better every day, not get ahead of ourselves and just get ready for the next game.

We're just trying to make the game better. Our thought process is that we want to reward the offensive part of the game.

We're just trying to get our timing back and trying to get in a rhythm and a flow on the offensive end. If we continue to play like the way we did in St. Louis, in terms of intensity and defense, and our offense is a little bit smoother, we'll be in good shape.

We're just trying to get it together, little by little. It was good for us to come out on the road, we've had a lot of losses in our offensive production but we're coming together as a team more defensively.

We have a passing offense, and so a lot of times you don't get to be as physical as an offensive line. When we get the opportunity to run, and when we're called on, we're going to take advantage of it and let people know that we can move the ball and we can move the line of scrimmage.

We're going up against an offensive machine (tomorrow).

This win was a good one to close out our home schedule with. We won at their place 6-0 last time, and we wanted to go out and show that we were an offensive team.

Armies are not only for offensives.

The publication of caricatures, deemed offensive by Muslims, has added ammunition for radical groups to exploit the situation and make the reaction become out of proportion and damaging.

For 35 years, I was a writer. I wrote a lot of jokes. Some of them weren't funny. Some of them weren't appropriate. Some of them were downright offensive. I understand that.

We had chances early, but they hurt us on the offensive boards. They get out on the break and we feed that when we turn the ball over like we did.' It's hard to get anything out of a game like this. We've got a big character game tomorrow in San Antonio.

We had a very hard time keeping them off of the offensive boards. It's been an Achilles heel of ours all year long and it came back in the state tournament. It obviously hurt us.

We had a very good defensive stand. We didn't want anyone to be open. We were not to go inside the three-point line. It looked quirky with all the offensive players inside the line and all the defensive players outside.

When I looked at film of Thursday's game, they did some things that really gave us trouble but they just missed shots. They were sending a lot of guys to the offensive board and (Mike) Hill was getting a lot of offensive penetration.

When the offensive line is playing well, I don't think it really matters.

when the guy intercepts the ball and he takes off on that side of the field, you've got a bunch of offensive guys chasing him. Once he reversed, those offensive linemen aren't the greatest at changing direction and chasing him down.

We needed a couple of offensive rebounds, we needed a couple of stops, and we didn't get it.

We won the game - and we can improve on it. Continuity is so important on the offensive line. These guys are going to keep getting better.

We won the Evansville game differently than we won the Missouri State game, for example. Whether it's rebounding or free throw shooting or defense or offensive execution, it's been something different each game for us.

That makes it even more offensive to me that she's interested in our band and she did something for Slaughter.

The only mistake 'Z' made was on Delgado. It was supposed to be a fastball away, and it came back over the plate. He made some great pitches and had a big triple for us. It's a great feeling to have that kind of offensive support from everybody.

We were confident all night. We moved the ball well, and our offensive line did a tremendous job.

We were coming down with offensive rebounds, but then missing a lot of shots form 2 feet away.

We need to play a little better, especially on the defensive end. They came in and got into an offensive rhythm.

We need to make sure we focus. A good team like Syracuse, I think they can capitalize a lot better than Indiana can. We need to keep them off the offensive glass, they're capable of having a big game.

When we started the season, I said we needed two more offensive linemen and two more defensive lineman. When we ended the season, we still needed the exact same thing.

When we started completing passes and gaining confidence, they took a man out of the box on defense and that opened up our options. Our offensive line played great.

When we scrimmaged against Glenn and Trinity last week, we didn't do a very good job of executing, ... All this week, we worked hard on the basics. I give all the praise to my offensive line.

When Wayne came back from Italy he said one of their main problems was their defense wasn't involved in the offense, and that he doesn't want that (to happen) here now. He told us defensemen we have to jump into the play and play as a group of five people on the ice. Hopefully, it's going to create some offensive chances. At the same time, we have to be careful of turnovers.

The pitching really has to carry us; our pitching so far hasn't carried any leads and our offensive has had to put big innings. We need to win games 5-3, 4-2 and our pitching needs to help us out.
