Passing Quotations | Page 4

Give them credit. They are the best passing team we've played all year. And their pressure was good; we kind of fell into their game plan.

Give (the Heat) credit, because they're a great team. They've got guys who can get to the basket and get to the free throw line. We don't have a guy who can get 20 free throws a night. So how are we going to play? We've got to do it from a team concept, by passing the ball and being ready to pass it.

I give the U.S. credit for passing character test. At the end of the day, it is not certainly a perfect performance, but we are on the road and we take two points away from the home team.

If we are consistent (in the running game) and grow there we'll be that much better in the passing game. We are going to find other guys who are play-makers out there. That will be the big issue offensively. We are strong in the interior, and we need to see who comes to the forefront at receiver.

If the city took the lead role (in passing a new tax), it wouldn't have a chance.

If the filmmaker has not done the work to grab the viewer with compelling storytelling, then the shock will probably be little more than a passing gimmick or an obscenity.

If the gun lobby is really serious about enforcing tough gun laws, then the NRA should endorse this bill and put their muscle into passing it.

He's had eight goals in the last three games now. He'd been missing over the top a lot early on in the season and we've been working with him on keeping the ball down and passing it into the net. He's come on and been a savior for us.

He's had a chance to work on his shooting and his range. His passing skills have really picked up and he's making the guys around him better.

He says you play best when you're smiling - and that's true. He's just passing on his Olympic wisdom. He's always got good advice for me. He's very experienced at this type of thing and I always listen to everything he has to say.

He has a good arm, but we haven't got the passing game going.

He handles it well and, I'll tell you, he has good hands. He catches the ball. He'll definitely be more a part of our passing offense.

He did a good job at blocking and receiving. When you talk about a tight end, most of the teams in our district don't use them anymore. It's becoming obsolete. But he was valuable to us since we mixed in the passing game with the running game.

Greg Raymond did a super job of controlling the ball in the middle for us. I'm really happy that the team is passing the ball the way we practiced it.

He is doing a great job running their team. He's shooting when he should, he's passing when he should, and he's making sure the ball gets in the right guys' hands.

He has some experience. We felt like what our needs were and what our options were, that he was the best fit. He's had some experience. He's good running the ball. He's built like Kevin. Not the same, but similar. Short, thick, strong, legs, good balance. He's probably had more production running than receiving, but I think he can also be in the passing game.

He has plenty of good passing numbers, but to me, he still looks like a runner.

He has to be aggressive and be slow, if that makes any sense. He's gotta do that. Because when he does, he sees the court so much better. He has improved his passing so much this year. He's seeing things a little better, instead of it being a blur - because he's so quick that it is a blur sometimes.

He established he could hit that shot, and it opened up passing lanes for us. I think it really made them adjust.

He gives us a lot of energy from that standpoint. His anticipation, ability to avoid screens, and accelerate in the passing lanes is unlike any other player that I have ever coached. It is a very deserving record. He has worked hard for it and hopefully he can improve on it.

He gets a little disappointed when he's not having a good offensive night. And he drifts a little defensively. The best thing he did was, he gets in the passing lane and gets a steal early. That just showed great alertness. He's awake. That got him going.

He'll work his butt off to be the guy. He knows what his strengths are, but he knows he needs to work harder to get better at his passing and be a complete quarterback.

Henning wanted me to change my passing techniques, and I just couldn't do it. I think that was the reason he played another guy and not me.

He'll get his share of carries, but we also hope that we can get him another five to 10 touches through the passing game with a little more space, as opposed to everybody sitting there lined up looking at him in the backfield. How that works out, we'll see.

There is great concern because the survivors are passing away at a rate of 1 percent a month and we all feel a sense of urgency,

The purpose of passing legislation is not to 'send a message', as the prime minister seems to argue. It is to change the law. This new offence is an unwelcome and unnecessary distraction.

We just have to get better as a group. The tight end is a unique position. We have to do a good job with blocking in the running game, and we have to be a threat in the passing game. In both areas we just need to work to get better. These guys have worked really hard in the off-season. I think we're stronger and faster, but now we just need to go out and show that on the field.

We just have to be, not just a little bit, but a lot better in the passing game than we've done in the past. It's going to get to the point where we're going to have to be a lot better.

We're pretty balanced. The running game opens up our passing game and the passing game opens up our running game.

We think he can come in and be a decent guy to compete for that job. We need to get better in our passing game. We didn't have the most prolific offense, and we think he can definitely help us in that area.

We took advantage of (a) power play we had at 5-on-3 and gave ourselves a chance to win with the nice passing play.

We've got to have drives that don't falter out. That's one of the major things we talked about going into this game. It's a matter of consistency. I thought there was improvement in the passing game, but it's still not there.

We've got to have balance. We've got to where we are at right now ? winning the division ? by playing great defense, running the football and protecting the football. Now we need to add the next dimension, which is more big plays in the passing game without sacrificing any of the other three.

We've found out that Seth is quite a mismatch out there, ... We made some big plays that were able to open up the passing game.

We tightened up the passing lanes to try and limit their chances. We wanted to neutralize their athleticism.

We tightened up a bit. We needed to get our own energy up. It was a matter of passing the ball and not getting beat off the dribble as much as we had.

We are extremely pleased to reduce rates for educators who give so much to our community. The facts prove that teachers are a better insurance risk with fewer claims, so we are passing the savings along by reducing their rates. We've also increased our auto discount for customers who have other lines of business with us, such as life or homeowner insurance or an annuity.

What we have is a criminal authoritarian regime, and they do not even think of the possibility of passing power to the people.

What we end up passing will probably be a blend of several proposals,

Having a passing attack is opening up the running game for us. It gives us an added dimension we haven't had offensively.

Going to camp has really helped us with our passing and we have all played with each other in different sports. We know where each other is going to be and everything is kind of coming together. We're excited for this year.

He's got great versatility. We led the league in rushing one year in Oakland, and they led the league in passing the following year, so he's got great versatility. He can coach the line, he can coach the quarterbacks, and he's had results everywhere he's been. He's a very creative guy, very disciplined, and he's got a great work ethic.

He's been practicing the same plays, the same game plan, through those first five weeks that we were doing with Matt. We're going to just continue to go the way that we have been going. He can do the things we want in the running game and he can do the things we want in the passing game. Now we've just got to go and practice those things and let him do what we feel he can do the best.

He's a very heady player. He knows the game very well. He's not overly quick, but he knows how to take the proper angles to make up for it. He makes good decisions with his passing and he can join the rush and he's also the quarterback of our power play. He's had a good year.

He should be able to start training next week all going well which is good news as initially we thought it could have been a cracked rib because he was passing blood and was in a lot of pain. That's why the hospital kept him in overnight, but all going well he will now come into contention for the Celtic match.

He's gotten a lot more proficient picking apart the defense when it comes to the passing game, ... besides the incredible athleticism.

His passing will hopefully remind people there are Nazi war criminals who can and should be prosecuted.

His passing leaves a huge vacuum of leadership that no one individual can ever fill, ... There will never be another like him.

His passing is his backup. They definitely use the run to set up stuff ... We have to stay in the same space and keep him in that pocket. We want a nice cup around him and squeeze it in on him and not let him feel comfortable in there, not let him check that option of sprinting out and running on us.

His passing and defense have gotten better. He's made a lot of improvements physically and he's making mental improvements as well. He needs to be a little bit more confident of his place on the team.

His strong leadership in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks helped to calm the financial markets by passing the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act.

He's done a very good job as a leader. One of the hardest things to do on offense is be consistent, and he's really done a good job. His passing efficiency (194.0) has been outstanding. He's done a good job of being a disciplined player.

He's done a good job passing out of the double team. And, yeah, there have been a lot of guys on our team (who have) been open and not knocked shots down, but he hasn't gotten frustrated with it.

He's doing well. We're finding out what he does well play-action and bootleg and what he doesn't. We're not going to throw the long ball with David. He's doing a pretty good job with the quick passing game.

Hopefully, we can go in and establish the running game early and open up some things for the passing game.

We made sure our defensive backs honored their passing a little bit. I thought our whole team stepped up a level in that second half.

He wasn't all about scoring. He was passing and he played a good team game.

He was passing by the accident scene and he stopped to see if he could help.

He was in constant pursuit of new challenges. He chose to be a passing quarterback when a pass was used in desperation.

I almost got a puck in the face, ... That's Caber's passing in practices, just like in a game. He passes those grenades.

He wants to be a little more consistent passing the ball. He's done that this preseason. He's taken giant steps towards becoming a much better passer. Mike's been sharp this preseason with his reads and his footwork and his timing.

He kind of knows the right thing to do without being told. He just knows how to get open and he has a good understanding of passing game concepts. He knows where the other receivers are. He understands where he needs to be, and when there are traffic problems, he almost always does the right thing to clear that traffic up.

He is the most effective, not when he's scoring, but when he gets other people involved. He demands a double-team every night. He did a great job of reading the situation and either going to the rim or passing it off. He's a superstar.

He is such an unselfish player. He loves to be a playmaker, but at times he would rather set someone else up for a goal instead of scoring himself. There are times when I think it would be easier for him to score instead of passing the ball off to one of his teammates.

He is really a good passing big man. Whenever he gets doubled on his drives, he knows where everybody is and he's good at dishing off.

He is very good at playing the passing lanes, stopping dribble penetration and boxing out.

Guys think that the military associations of camo are going to make them look tough, as if they might just break out a shotgun and take down a passing duck at any given moment. I'm not so sure.

There are so many charlatans out there who are passing themselves off as respectable investment advisers, ... The only way to protect yourself is to not believe anybody.

Knowing the passing game as well as he does, is imperative in our game plan because he has freedom to leave the box and get involved in defending the pass. He's an instinctive hitter. He doesn't miss tackles. Once he gets his hands on you, he'll get you to the ground. That's big in this game.

Kim really believes in her chances, provided her recovery is going according to schedule, and that her first training sessions don't cause her problems either. Quite logically she would rather play for her home audience and distribute the champagne herself and in tennis clothing, than just passing by.

Kids love secrecy. The toys feed that same niche as passing notes or writing in a diary.

Just passing is not acceptable in our household. We have high expectations and use those tools to motivate, guide, and sometimes when a crisis hits, there have to be things taken away. We don't let it slide, ... It should not be the parent's option, it should not be the student's option to make the decision to go to the athletic field. They must have fulfilled their obligation in the classrooms first.

Just the right place at the right time. Some nights are like that. I was able to get in a couple passing lanes and get some picks, but for the most part, it was just being in the right place at the right time.

Jordan improved his passing skills a lot this year. He was always kicking the ball out to the open man.

John is very athletic for his size. His strength is there. He's got to polish a few things in the passing game and some in the running game, but as long as he has a desire there to want to be successful, he's got all the athletic ability to be successful.

I talked to Bill McArthur today as he was passing by.

I think it could embolden other companies if they succeed to cut back on health care costs by passing it off on other employees.

I think in the end it was their quickness and their ability to play the passing lanes and force us a little deeper into our offense than we wanted to be. That's how they wanted to play and they did.

I think it's good to get in the truck and get a little bit familiar with it before we go full time. I want to have a strong finish and a good performance but mostly I just want to improve. If I feel like I come away from this race having learned a lot and improved and passing cars, then I'll be pretty happy with it.

I thought we started very well. We worked on what we wanted to work on, which was quick passing and movement off of the ball, get into a good rhythm of play. I thought for the first . . . 15 or 20 minutes, we did that.

I thought we ran the ball well and our first- and second-down passing was much improved. It seems like you have something you have to go to work on every week. That is just kind of where we are right now. Our third down was affected by our pass protection. We are trying to look at a couple different combinations to hopefully help us move forward in that area.

I thought we were great defensively. We pressured the ball, got in passing lanes, forced everything baseline. That's what we wanted to do tonight. We weren't worried about our offense. We wanted to come out and try to make a statement.

I thought he enjoyed it. He got on the ball, had a good range of passing and good link-up play as well, so it worked reasonably well.

I thought at times we showed we could move the ball. Our passing game looked good at times. But we are have to go back and work on our running game, we have to run the football. On defense, I saw some things. Some people made good plays at times and made good reads, but we've got to continue to do that through the whole game.

I think you're going to have to make some plays in the passing game, whether or not the opportunities are there I don't know. But nobody has been able to run the ball on them,

I think you have to modify or put your offense in a position, again, to make your players comfortable. But you look at all these teams, they do everything. It's just that ... if they don't have Brad Miller passing the ball at the high post, they're not nearly as good...

I think you can be excused for having some lapses, ... You need to put that in the context of the overall disaster that you're dealing with here, and FEMA certainly gets passing grades.

I think you can be excused for having some lapses, ... You need to put that in the context of the overall disaster that you're dealing with here, and FEMA certainly gets passing grades.

I was disappointed that the elected officials at the meeting seemed unconcerned with the obvious illegality of providing off-the-books jobs for illegal aliens. Instead, they should be passing legislation to provide training for local and county police departments to enforce our immigration laws.

I was amazed the first time we sat down and talked about our offense. He rearranged our whole passing game. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was very obvious that he had a real good understanding of the offensive part of the game.
