Quick Quotations | Page 6

He just wasn't quite sharp enough with his curve. His breaking ball wasn't quick enough at times. When your starter gets in trouble like that, you want him to fight through it, but I probably waited too long to pull him.

He just killed us down there. Every time we'd make a little run, he'd just kick us. He beat us with his quickness. We didn't have anybody that's quick enough to handle him.

He is such a weapon. He is so quick that he can get to the basket just about anytime he wants. When they do stop him he is unselfish enough to find the open man.

He'll be out three to six weeks. It's a big loss for us. We're not the most physical team, and he brings a little physicality. And maybe more importantly, he's a guy who can cover people on the perimeter or inside. We don't have many players who are quick enough to do that, like Alan Anderson did.

He is really, really, really quick off the ball.

He knows what he can hit and what he can't hit. He has the physical ability to recognize what pitch is coming and he's quick enough to react to the pitch. When he gets it, he doesn't miss it very often.

He jumped in and was able to help us immediately. He's got good, quick feet and some speed. Bright kid.

He (Jones) fits in great. He's probably the most point-oriented point guard that we've had here. He looks to score and that puts a lot of pressure on teams. Plus, he's quick and makes a lot of steals.

Guys were noticing that their team was tired and we were trying to take advantage of it with some quick breaks. We don't usually do that too often.

Guys usually have a very difficult time crossing the diamond in the infield. But he's extremely quick, as quick as anybody I've ever seen at turning a double play. That's unusual for a guy to have such a strong arm, who can throw the ball across the diamond and then move to second and immediately be able to change his arm angle.

Guys look at you, see your size and are quick to evaluate you sometimes. That's just part of the game.

Hannah and Amanda are very fluid together. They're very quick, got quick hands and quick feet. Defensively, they help us in a great way.

(Hampton is) very good and athletic. They're a lot like us. They have quick guards and are really a mirror image of us. They can score right with us point for point. It should be a great game.

Grossman didn't hurt himself at all. He was solid. Nothing eye-popping, but he's got a quick release and good instincts. His footwork needs a little work, but he looked good.

The only thing that could hurt us would be some sort of quick call-up, without any warnings. Nowadays, reservists get some advance notice.

I was looking at the puck in the corner and I don't know what happened. It hit my eyeball, so I tried to get to the room as quick as I could.

Kerry gave the (Houston) safety a quick pump and he just went flying to Randy. They actually had a guy underneath and both safeties running to him. When (Collins) threw the ball outside to Doug, it's a big play.

Kenny played a little bit of middle school football. He's fairly quick and changes directions pretty well. He has to learn our system.

Kim is a great all-around athlete and a very versatile player. She will see playing time on the front line. She is quick and agile, which contributes to her finesse as a player.

Jai is an unusual athlete. You look at his size and you think that he?s slow, but Jai is the total opposite. He is quick with his hands and feet and he can do a lot of things that big guys his size can?t do. He shoots the ball well, he can dribble the ball and also he can use his body down low.

I would say there is a great risk as we go into the next two weeks of a very brief campaign period but certainly the U.N. and the international peacekeepers and police force here are very much on alert and will be quite quick frankly to put down any attempts to disrupt the election. I think it is everybody's concern now that there are only two candidates that some aspects of the voters in Liberia will become more polarized and thus, in some ways, the danger of some sort of election related violence or disruption is much greater now than it was prior to the 11th of October.

Katrina took away his agenda, and maybe his image as a leader, unless he pulls it out in the next few days. His initial reaction was certainly not as quick and compassionate as a lot of people would have liked.

Jose has got phenomenal skills. He's got great moves with the ball, a really quick shot, he'll probably be one of our top five starters. I've been very impressed by him. He's a great player with a great attitude.

Jones had his intensity level up from the start. We felt if we got off to a quick start we could hang with them, but we never found a way to stop Jones.

John Bland is so quick off the football he's hard to find,

John Beck doesn't have a good arm, he's got a great arm, one of the strongest in college football. He's very accurate, has an extremely quick release. He's one of the best I've ever seen.

Joe Leonard doesn't make quick decisions, which is good. He has the ability to focus on what he wants to get done.

Joe Kay isn't half as quick of feet or brain as the old one,

Josh was terrific. We've tried to get him to act on instincts, because he has such a good IQ and he's so quick to make impact plays.

John is an iron fist in a velvet glove, ... He's every bit as determined and tenacious as he is uplifting and gracious. He's a skilled manager of people, he's well-respected by my staff and Cabinet, and he knows how to cut to the quick of solving a problem. He's the kind of professional - and friend - I trust to offer smart counsel and honest input in every situation.

J.R. has such a quick release, it doesn't have to be a situation where he gets that open.

I swear I seen Kobe run into a telephone booth, take off his Laker uniform and put on a Superman suit real quick before he went to work. There's no words to express the emotions that I was feeling.

I think it got the tempo up. It forced them into tough shots, quick shots.

I think I played real solid, ... Maybe only two passes I'd like to have back. And that's pretty good when you're playing a full football game. I made good decisions. I thought I got the ball out of my hands quick and really knew the situations I was in.

It came up and it went away just as quick as it came.

It can put us at a disadvantage being so small but it can put us at an advantage, too. Because we're so quick and so small it may put their big men in more trouble than they think they're going to be in. We'll try to push it and make it an up-tempo game.

I think it's fair to say he was a man of his time, but it's also fair to say he realized where society was moving. He probably didn't move quick enough to get ahead of that, but by no means was he holding it back.

I thought we were able to force them into some quick shots, and luckily they weren't hitting them. They have some excellent shooters and tonight the ball wasn't going in for them.

I thought we took some quick shots, which allowed them to get easy buckets. It got their confidence going; it got their rhythm going. We forced some shots.

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 would be the early speed. When she hopped at the start, it concerned me a little bit. She recovered quick enough to put herself in good position.

I thought we were quick to settle for the 3. At the same time, we did miss some open shots.

I think you have to be very observant and be able to pay attention to the letters. You have to be quick because those letters come up and go fast.

I think (the game) goes down to the press and handling the pressure and converting it into points. We are going to have to get out on their shooters, which will be tough because they are quick and they are going to go by, but we can't let them stand up and shoot.

It is going to be a nice race for both teams, I think. Last year our car was pretty quick there and I quite like the circuit, so for sure we will try to win the race and hopefully we can win the championship, too, for the team,

I was disappointed with getting the two quick fouls in the first quarter. As soon as I came back in, the object was to get the ball up the court.

I thought we got some pretty good looks in the last seven minutes but once they got it spread there in the last two minutes I started running some thing to get quick shots. It's a tough team to get quick shots against. That's a big time team playing a big time game in a big time atmosphere.

I thought we dominated them in the first half, but they were quick with their counterattacks and took advantage of their opportunities.

I thought we played a good second period. But from there it was downhill. We were giving them the puck and there were too many turnovers. Three quick goals and that cost us the game tonight.

I thought that was the difference. We missed a quick shot then he made six in a row and that gets it to nine. You hate them making a run at the end of a quarter because you have to sub and it just gets worse from there.

I think we got a group with really good size and athleticism. These are big guys who can move. They've all got quick feet and are fairly agile.

I think we're going to be very, very quick up front.

I think we match up well against them. We are really very much alike. I didn't know much about them at first, but I know that they can shoot the ball, have good quick guards and they can defend. In that respect, then I think they are a lot like us.

I think we did it to ourselves. We were kind of sleepwalking and took quick shots. We didn't make them play much defense tonight.

I think we have to take care of the ball in order to get some quick shots against them. They are obviously great athletes, great players. They get the ball up and down very quickly. We are going to have to find a way to work with that so we can get back and give ourselves a chance to defend.

I think we want to do the right thing instead of the quick thing. Of course, now we know Johnny won't be playing center field for us, so that hastens the process a little bit. But we're not going to rush out and do something quick. We're going to sit down and try to do the right thing.

I think that compared to other teams we are looking competitive, but in order to see whether we are really quick enough to aim for the top we need to wait till everybody is running on low fuel with new tires.

I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.

I think Adam is a top driver who just needs to polish off a few little bits and pieces here and there. But he's a joy to work with, and he's just as quick as the best of them. In this category at the moment, you have to make sure that every little thing is alright on the night and I think, for the first season, he has done exceptionally well. Generally, his performances have been much stronger than drivers with a larger budget. Adam has got what it takes to be a Formula One driver.

It gives us a different look. It makes us real quick so we can pressure the ball a lot, run the floor and get our opponents tired.

It got sore real quick and I thought it was something worse than it really was. The X-rays were negative, and the doctor told me I'm just going to have to play through the soreness. I was just being a little cautious, but it's looking good for me to be ready to go Thursday.

It happened so quick and it's gone totally mad since then,

It happened really quick when we made the final decision . (But) there always was something in my gut, a red flag.

It happens so quick you don't really remember what happened. One wreck I was in, I remember being in the pace line, then the next thing I knew I was on the ground.

It has been all right for us, but we see a change, no doubt about it. We need help from our forwards more or from our partner to help us break out because teams are coming at you with speed and they are right on you. You need to have a quick out.

I think we are playing relatively good basketball. Tonight we were quick to the ball and did a good job on defense.

I think things will come around the way we expect very soon. We should be good defensively because we've got kids with good hands and quick feet. The infield is looking pretty good right now and the outfield is starting to solidify.

I think traders are quick to take profits right now, because what else is there that stocks can do for an encore in the short term? We're still in an uptrend, but the probability right now, from a technical standpoint, is that we're going to have a little more selling.

It is not clear in the most part what kind of document the authorities have signed and to what conditions. What we are really talking about is a quick agreement until the election.

It is not too late. The wounded will need long term care, and the hospitals' stocks are quick to run out.

I think that's kind of the mode you get into in this kind of a role, ... You deal in the present, but you also have to plan for the future. You have to be ready, and you have to be willing to make quick decisions when those are necessary.

I think that the women's magazines and a lot of those quick tips for better sex, I think that they do people a disservice, sometimes, because they become very focused on - they're thinking, 'Okay, I read that I should do this, and am I doing it right?'

I think that was real big. I was bleeding and they wiped me up real quick and stopped the bleeding for about eight seconds and I was able to get my free throws. I went back (for stitches) and Billy just came in and played great basketball. He picked it up where I left off.

I think that it's still progressing. I was pleased with the players in the autumn. In the three games we set a benchmark and it's important that we build on that. The importance is the whole team development. It's about playing with speed of ball and understanding. If we can get quick ball then the midfield combinations will have more time to work and expose the space that we're trying to attack. I was pretty pleased with the way the midfield went.

I think that will be the scouting report on us as we head into league play. Wofford was able to get into and under Chris tonight with their quick guards. At the same time, I think Russell Carter did a great job stepping up.

I was a little quick and stabbing at the ball last week at the 84 Lumber, and this week I'm a little more smooth.

I was able to beat my man. But they left the floor spread out. Everybody was playing their man so tight that I was quick enough to get around my man and get into the middle and either make a good pass or a good shoot. That was really our whole offense.

I will have a quick look now and again and if I see that nobody else is making a big move I just keep to my own game and just plod along.

I went to the bottom as quick as I could ... he just got under there.

I was just trying to get on the board with this offense. They shut us down pretty much in the first half, but right before halftime we were able to get outside on the quick pitch and coordinated that into the second half.

I was just sitting here. They'd been making that middle pass all night. I just read it and got a quick shot off. The goalie probably wasn't expecting it.

I was just shooting it as quick as I could and trying to get it on the net.

I think they're under a lot of pressure from the media and from America. They're trying to put a heavy and quick charge on her.

I think they're not as quick to dismiss his bluster as they used to be.

I think there are major risks in sales and margins when you're a middleman. More and more companies are buying direct and don't see a need for Helen of Troy. Their brands are not that powerful, ... This doesn't mean it can't bounce back. They have to be shrewd and quick to right the ship.

Just going in there and being solid. Coach has mentioned to me, 'Be quick but don't hurry. Just kind of minimize my turnovers and just go in there and be solid.

Jermaine is so quick that they couldn't block him ... and when they did knock him on the ground, he would jump right back off the ground and chase after the play, ... That's what makes him so great. He never quits on a play for the entire game.

Jeff's our leader and when we saw him come back quick after being knocked to the turf, it fired us up. It put a little fight in our game.

Jessie got us going and kept us going the whole game. She was confident and had a quick trigger.

Kyle's a smart lawyer and he'll be a quick study ... The one quality that is most in demand in the job is good judgment and you can develop good judgment by getting experience in many different ways.

Kumble came in front of me in his follow through and it was not possible for me to run the quick single, it was unfortunate that he missed the double hundred.

I saw him score three or four quick buckets and I just said there's no way he can score anymore. If he does, they're going to try and take over the game. He was doing a great job out there and I just figured somebody had to step up and lock him down.

I see a guy with a quick bat. I don't see the end here. I compare the guy with Hank Aaron, who could hit a fastball to the end.

I saw stick-side real quick and reacted, got a good one, and just didn't beat him.

I saw him move a little too quick at times - anticipate rather than be patient. But I think that just comes from not playing for a while. I know he'll get better as we go along.

I saw a lot of teaching and coaching going on by my veterans and a lot of quick learning by my freshmen.

Isaiah had a tough night. Their long bodies changed our shots. Then we went a little out of character with some quick shots.

I said I thought the umpire was quick on the trigger but I thought you snapped. I also told him I certainly don't want to take that emotion from him. I don't want him out there worried about what he's going to say or do. Hopefully, I'll get to him before it happens again. I never want to take his passion away from him because I think he needs it to pitch.

I rushed it a little bit. I couldn't get a good grip on it. It was a bang-bang play, a 50-50 shot. We had talked about it right before that if it was a ball to me, I was going home no matter what. If he was staying I wasn't going to turn two. I knew I was going home the whole way, I just couldn't get it quick enough.

I sat her down and got her head right, and she stepped up big for us. I knew she would do that. She's quick as lightning.
