Receiver Quotations | Page 2

I think if somebody would give him the opportunity today to be a top-three receiver on a team, he'd still be playing.

I think he's the best receiver in the game, hands down. It was a measuring stick for me. I'll sit down, watch film, see what I did wrong.

I thought maybe slotback or wide receiver, ... I came here as a wide receiver and I always wanted to play offense. But I wasn?t going to go and seek it out.

Just keep doing your thing. But, if they ask you to play wide receiver or defensive back, just get involved with players and coaches who can help you the most.

Justin will be evaluated as both a wide receiver and tight end depending on his growth potential once he gets a year under his belt.

That would be huge, having two skill-position players out there like that, an extra set of (receiving) hands, almost like having another receiver in the backfield or out wide,

That was probably the first time in three years that I overthrew a receiver and the first time I had an incomplete pass that I really felt good about.

That was a major part of it. The hurricane gave me more time in practice, gave me time to get better. The key was when I left receiver and started focusing mainly at quarterback. I started picking things up real well.

That was a huge play. Nash is a big-game receiver who's going to get open. I believed in him, and he got open.

That was just our kids making a play. The first receiver (on the pattern) was open, but he (Johnson) held the ball too long, but he did make a play.

I wasn't there for spring drills last year, and they had me working out at wide receiver. During the spring, coaches tend to change things around. More than likely I'll play at receiver or maybe move to corner.

My coach, he tried to find different ways to get me the ball ? options, coming up with creative plays. But they were normally the seven routes, the post corners and the digs, and when you got a tight end ? who can make moves like a wide receiver ? when there is a linebacker on you, that's kind of a mismatch.

Williams is a player that we really like. To get a receiver like him in the fourth round is unusual.

(Wide receiver Johnny Lee) Higgins got a lot of attention last week because he scored three touchdowns, but Ebell can hurt you just as much. They don't run the spread offense, but they've got enough threats to stretch you across the field and make things difficult.

Wide receiver is one of the positions that will be critical to fill this spring and fall.

You don't do anything without those guys in front. Everyone wants the receiver or the running back or the quarterback, but you have to make sure you're paying attention. You better take care of your lines.

You kind of flood an area and then you get a deep receiver and he was wide open.

We don't expect Travis to play. He hasn't progressed to the point to where he is effective or can be at full speed. A receiver not at full speed makes it pretty tough.

We don't play him much defensively because he's such a threat on offense. Plus, he returns kicks for us. We use him where he's best, and that's at the receiver position.

You always want to step up to the plate and show what you can do. Chad has always been a premier receiver and a Pro-Bowl receiver.

When you're going into a game and another team has another receiver who's great, of course you want to do that. I think it's a good motivator. If he's on the other side making plays, it makes you want to make plays, too.

We have a wide receiver and a football player who is going to have a huge effect on this football team the next four years.

We'll have a different look this year. We'll be looking to run the ball more. We have our quarterback and receiver back, but we lost two offensive linemen.

We don't have great speed at the receiver position, and I don't think there is anyone who is going to get a lot faster anytime soon.

We are really excited about the incoming student-athletes. We addressed the wide receiver position; we addressed the tight end and running back deficiency we have. We still have some holes to fill, but I really think we brought in a great quality of class in terms of academics, character and talent.

We are going to ask the receiver to take ownership of the music library and auction it off.

We're down in numbers at receiver and we have so many new guys coming in, that's where we'll have to find out a lot more during the summer and two-a-day camp.

Tough play right there. I looked at every receiver and no one was open. Then I looked back, saw the (opening) and took it down.

Touch is more important than arm strength. You want to really allow the receiver to run underneath the throw. It'll give you a little margin for error if you undershoot it a bit.

We want to add a fifth receiver if we can. I don't think our philosophy - mine or Ted's - is to just to go out and get somebody to get somebody. But if we can get someone who can come in and help us, (we will).

Well, that was one of those things where I was looking left the whole way and we had three receivers over there, ... I tried to fake to Antwaan (Randle El) right away and didn't feel confident and didn't want to force it, so I saw the opportunity to go to my right, and went right, and that's when the receiver takes over.

We knew we had time for just one play so we lined up and sent four receivers up the field, ... Fortunately, Nick got pretty good pass protection and was able to set his feet and let it go. The pass wasn't great and the receiver had to adjust and go up and get it. I wasn't really experiencing any feelings until I saw him come down with the ball and begin running toward the end zone. Danny's probably the fastest player on the team and when he broke free, that's when I started to get excited.

There are a lot of guys who might be the best, but I'd have to say Chris McAlister. I've played against him a few times and honestly he gets better each time I face him. He just seems to keep maturing in their system, and he's a talented guy. He's a guy who was voted to the Pro Bowl about one or two years later than he deserved to be because he's someone who they can put on the other team's best receiver and just expect him to hold that guy in check.

Whenever anybody as a receiver is making plays to help the team, you get your blood flowing and you get excited and you really get into the game, which is hard to do when that's not happening,

We thought he had a chance to be a good one back when he was on the sophomore team. What made him a great receiver was his ability to do things after he caught the ball.

We are sensing the location, the position and the orientation of the machine in real time. That information is wirelessly transferred off the machine to a receiver at the construction site shack. It then goes from there down the Internet to a receiving station.

When you have a feeling for a receiver, ... you can't put a finger on it. We just have a connection. He's a great receiver and he makes me better.

When you have a different receiver every day, there's timing issues involved. The thing I've been most pleased with is, a lot of times, we're just missing (on pass attempts). Ben's getting it to the right spot, so hopefully, it's just a timing issue with all the different guys out there.

When we lost one receiver on signing day to North Carolina State, we made the decision then that if we found the right kind of guy, we'd take one. He's definitely that kind of guy.

When we look at our passing game, the one element we have not been able to utilize effectively is LT as a receiver. There is no doubt he has been a terrific receiver for us, and we haven't done a good enough job in getting him the ball.

Finn is kind of the red-headed stepchild of our team. He's not really a running back because they don't give him the ball. He's not a receiver because they rarely throw to him. And we don't want him on the offensive line because he's too skinny to be a part of the line. So I guess he's just kind of a mutt. He's just a mutt who does whatever is needed.

Experience is good. Whenever you're going against a receiver like Moss, experience is a lot. It makes a little bit of difference. We know he's going to make plays, but we're going to try to make him make plays in front of us and not behind us. I think that was one of the keys against him last year.

Both us are going to be on the field at the same time, with me playing fullback, and tailback and receiver and tight end,

We had a receiver open that we didn't find in the end zone and then we busted the play on fourth down. That was a great opportunity to take the lead.

There is something about saying "Ok" and hanging up the receiver with a bang that kids a man into feeling that he has just pulled off a big deal, even if he has only called the telephone company to find out the correct time

Two areas where we felt like we needed to make some headway with quality were receiver and linebacker, and we felt like we did very well in both those areas. And you can never have enough good defensive backs.

This was probably Ricky's best overall game out there, in terms of him having some space to work in, not only as a runner, but a couple of times as a receiver as well.

We had a kid right there; their receiver just made a great move.

We don't score 30 points a game. We don't have a receiver who can go and get you 180 yards. We don't have a quarterback who's going to throw for 350. But I'll tell you what we do have: A team that's going to the AFC Championship Game. All them big-time offenses, you know where they're at? Home watching us.

What they do is make you play assignment football. Somebody's got to take the running back. Somebody's got to take the quarterback. Somebody's got to take the wide receiver coming around for the hitch. Then, you have to be ready for the play-action pass. They make you monitor threats, and that cuts down your pursuit, if you're not careful.

Thurman gives us an experienced proven receiver who has a history with our starting quarterback. We feel his addition will augment our current receiving core very well.

We're very happy to have Eric with us. He gives us a proven receiver to go along with Andre Johnson. Now we can line up and we have two first class wide receivers and we feel very fortunate about that.

We think Santonio Holmes is a great player, ... Early last year, he was about the only guy that was making plays for us. The people we played against saw that and put more attention on him. Some of our young guys then got a little more involved and that eased the burden off Santonio a little bit. If we can get to the point where we can recognize that he is being singled, we need to go to Santonio Holmes, because from a receiver standpoint he's top-notch.

Brandon has been playing pretty well in a lot of different areas and, obviously, on special teams, ... His game as a receiver is starting to form up. You can see it on film. You can see that he's healthy again. He's running with speed and making some good cuts.

Brad was the best receiver in the state in his senior year in high school, ... He's a warrior. That's why I recruited him. He's very competitive. That's why he started for me as a freshman.

Either they run real fast and can't catch or they can catch, but run slow. Or there was some medical issue or character issue. A lot of times, the second round in general is a hit or miss type of round regardless of position. I do think receiver is a position where you see a number of misses in there.

Ben can run. He's not a (wide) receiver, but he's got that receiver type of ability for a tight end. He's obviously a big target. That's always something that the quarterback likes, is a tall guy that has a good reach and is just a big target to throw to.

Everyone wants to say we didn't win championship games without a big-play receiver. Well, our big-play receiver was hurt last year and we won a championship game.

Everyone talks about who is the best receiver in the game. In my opinion, when you go back and look at numbers, (Holt) probably is the best receiver in the game.

Cory is a safety valve. You know you always have No. 12. He can always take it to the house. He is probably the best red zone receiver to play the game, and hopefully we can get to a point where we can utilize him and get the most out of him because is a great player and we all know that.

Andy had a nice spring - and not only on special teams. He will play next year. He's a tough kid. He'll get better and he'll have a home in the extra receiver spot. He will contribute there.

Enough is enough. It is time for a receiver and an order for contempt. There are rules of court that should be obeyed and Mr. Knight is making a mockery of it.

Drew came here to take this team where it needs to be, and that's the same goal I have. It feels good playing with a quarterback who has thrown to me before, and it feels good for him throwing to a receiver he knows.

The re-signing of Jason gives us the veteran receiver we need to make big plays. Jason has good hands and great speed. He is a threat every time the ball is snapped.

I've never had a big receiver like that,

There won't be anything complicated about what we do. We're going to keep it simple and just try to execute on offense and defense. At the same time, we're going to play some people at running back, receiver and on the defensive line to see what they can do.

It would be really hard to pinpoint one receiver right now as the guy. But I also think that will make us hard to defend because teams won't be able to shift the focus of their defense to one player.

These cats now, these are a different breed of receiver than we were. They're way more flamboyant ... I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

The second one was just (off of defensive end Chike Okeafor's ) pressure and tip, and I got a chance to make a play, ... I was a receiver (before), so it was natural.

The tag that I was too small and too slow just made me work that much harder. Besides, quickness is more important than flat-out speed. How often does a receiver run 40 yards straight down the field? Not very often. Lateral speed is what counts. How quickly can you get in and out of a cut? I can do that as well as anyone.

Teams still prioritize corner. When you think of all the wide receivers drafted, like Detroit taking a wide receiver (in the first round) three years in a row, you need corners to match up and not just one or two, you need three.

Tell the customer whatever you have to tell them. Tell them if these phone lines are not connected, the receiver will blow up.

Some people say I may have underachieved when I was in Pittsburgh, ... But you have to have the opportunity to achieve anything, period, much less overachieve. And I think I was a big-play receiver in Pittsburgh. I only averaged 20 yards per catch (actually 19.8 in 11 games last year).

Ryan was a triple threat for us. He could run, pass, and kick. He was a great receiver as a junior and a very athletic quarterback. He threw well over 100 passes for us and never got picked off. Ryan was a competitive kid who had a great high school career.

Quarterback and wide receiver are the two inexperienced positions on this team. Without Darrell, we will be revamping our offense. We'll be working hard to find ways to get two running backs on the field at the same time.

People don't know what you're doing. We can line him up at receiver and if a smaller defender tries to cover him, that's a big mismatch. You get in the red zone, down near the goal line, and he becomes a real big factor if you can get him matched up with smaller defensive backs. . . . It's head and shoulders when you say who's the top tight end in the league in terms of getting the ball to a tight end and letting him do some things.

After the first couple of months I was kind of depressed, but after that I started looking at it as something I've got to deal with, ... Since then, it's been a motivation for me to do my best. People look at it and they're like, 'Man, that's not good because you played receiver and you were really good at it,' but I just use it as motivation because all I can do is kick. If that's all I can do, I'm going to be the best at it.

The most respectable wide receiver in the National football league is Terrell Owens. You dont see this kind disgusting act from him.

Coach has me playing a lot of receiver and I wanted to do that last year, ... But he really didn't put it in that much. Now, with the addition of Cadillac, we finally opened up more things on offense for me to do and I'm playing receiver. I enjoy doing that. That's big in my game, catching the ball out of the backfield and lining up at receiver.

Any receiver that says they don't think about going over the middle when you have a guy like a John Lynch or a Kenoy Kennedy or a Donovin Darius , they're lying.

As a receiver you expect to be involved like that, regardless if Gates is there or not. With Gates not being there, everybody, not just me, realized that they had to step up and play bigger.

The bottom line is this is not what we bought into when we came to Atlanta. If we would have known Peerless was going to play a blocking receiver role and not a vertical wide receiver, we wouldn't have gone in that direction. But it was a situation where the Falcons organization went through a changing of the guard, and Peerless got caught in that situation and it didn't coincide with his talent.

A very good possession receiver that will catch anything he can get a hand on. A big receiver that will do damage on fades and isolations.

A very good athlete with tremendous potential, Josh has very good technique as a defensive back and the kind of receiver speed and size we are looking for.

A late change in the pipeline route required us to obtain rights of way that were not initially necessary. One last location that needed to be secured had been holding us up for the past three weeks, but we have now obtained an ideal site for our receiver equipment and are once again moving full speed ahead.

This is the first time he has been healthy. But I'm not surprised how he has played. He is a big, physical receiver who is productive.

They were in a blitz, Zack (Crockett) was the primary receiver coming out of the backfield, but he got bounced around, so I took off (running) outside. I really was just trying to throw it away, but I just didn't get it high enough. That one was on me.

They take some shots and Higgins is having a good year. What (UTEP) coach (Mike) Price has done is put his playmakers in position to make plays. He'll return punts and kicks and he's definitely their go-to receiver that can make it happen for them.

They take some shots and Higgins is having a good year, ... What (UTEP) coach (Mike) Price has done is put his playmakers in position to make plays. He'll return punts and kicks and he's definitely their go-to receiver that can make it happen for them.

A major trend in security installations is the cost-effective integration of fiber optic cabling with copper-based cameras, servers and monitors. Transporting analog video over fiber optic cabling allows for extended surveillance reach and less noise and interference than can be obtained over copper infrastructure. We have also added automatic gain control on both the transmitter and the receiver to offer the customers better images without timely manual adjustments, a true customer benefit.

A lot of people, including our side, are glad to see it happen. It should have taken place in June. That would have been the professional thing to do. Now he can move on in his career as a wide receiver and not a blocker.

They have a wide receiver that has some good size. They have chosen to go to him about 50 percent of the time,

They didn't use him much at receiver last season. But he has the sort of versatility to contribute on both sides of the ball.

They are still loaded at the wide receiver position. It doesn't hurt to lose a couple of guys.

There were actually about 12 of us sitting there, so the actual chances of making the team as a wide receiver were not that great, ... The way the numbers were working and we had three NFL Europe guys that were exempt from the first cut, so it was surprising but at the same time, it's a business.

This is the most dynamic position in all of sports. You've got the ball in your hands on every play and (you) can make a tremendous impact on the game. But it's also got to be a very exciting, energizing position. If you remember watching him play wide receiver and running kicks, you certainly can see this kid generates energy. So we were encouraging him to let that flow.

They're a team that really needs help at the receiver position. There's an opportunity there for Peter to come in and contribute right away.

They're giving the cover corners an even smaller window than they had before. Now the guys who play hard at the corner get flagged all the time. What players like Hayes and Lewis did so well, steering a receiver with their body, is one of the arts that is now lost. The great cover corner is absolutely rare and special.

They're getting a complete receiver. He can get off the line of scrimmage in press coverage. He catches the ball at its highest point. He's an excellent downfield blocker. He runs excellent routes and has great hands coming back to the ball. There's no weakness in his game at the receiver position.
