Standpoint Quotations | Page 2

I would think most teams will try to go inside from an offensive standpoint because we will be down an inside defender. I think that will be the biggest challenge.

I would say this experience demonstrates how Ellington is a critical asset from the standpoint of both national defense and homeland security. It's crazy to shut down Ellington or take those air assets and send them somewhere else.

I think it's a legitimate concern (to elect someone who may not be qualified). At least when I was first elected, there were some things from an accounting standpoint that I needed to take some classes on after being elected.

I think it's a credit to the players themselves. And I think (coach) Scott Gordon does a terrific job with the team in Providence. We play similar ways, so from a tactical standpoint there's not a lot of difference. I think all of those things kind of make the transition a little more seamless.

I think it hurt us number one from a leadership standpoint because John was our captain and Al . . . was a quiet leader with his effort he'd give every day. It hurt us defensively losing two experienced guys like that. Unfortunately, it coincided with the time we went through a slump. Whether that was part of it or not, I'm not sure.

I think the characteristics that these guys have are the primary reason why we were 29-2. They're a fun team to coach. A bunch of nice young men. From a standpoint of whether we could get to Peoria or not, we just kind of took that one game at a time this year.

Labor Day weekend is not as important from an economic standpoint as it used to be.

I was contacted by an investigator who works dog cases, and I was also contacted by a professional animal trainer, who made the suggestion that those two things should be looked at from a forensics standpoint to see if that was a possibility,

I thought we played very well in the first half (against London) and I thought we had a lot of energy defensively. In the second half, we just came out sluggish. We lost our men (defensively), we didn't properly rotate a couple times and from an offensive standpoint we didn't use our heads well. We shot it too quickly in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter, especially when we were not shooting all that well. Our patience has got to get better. And we were 7-for-19 from the foul line. They were fouling, and it looked like a pretty good strategy.

I thought tonight's game was typical for us from the standpoint that we played well in segments. Fortunately, we hit the right gear when we trailed in the second half and finished the game in the right gear.

I think we had a very good year. How you feel about a season depends a lot on how you finish, and we would have liked to finish differently, but from the overall standpoint it was 21 wins with the schedule we had and a tough league, so I feel good about that.

I think we've made a lot of improvement. I think from the standpoint of just trusting each other, we're doing a better job of that.

I think also what people really should try to keep in mind is, when a hit and run occurs, there is a lack of closure on an incident like this, people don't really have a sense of what happened and what lead to this - from a justice standpoint or from a personal standpoint- we're trying to help the family to try and understand it.

It has been a help from the standpoint of knowing how to prepare for these types of games, being in important games and dealing with adversity. I think it is important to appreciate where you are and know where you came from.

It is not good for us to go into the tournament losing 3 of 4. From that standpoint this is a very important game.

I will approach each issue from the standpoint of the average tax-paying citizen,

I think they become a little more explosive in the passing game, just from a standpoint of experience. I mean, this guy's a three-year veteran as opposed to a rookie. He's seen more looks.

It is a question that is loaded with a lot of political considerations as well as timing. From a political standpoint - I'm from Louisiana - the charges that have been made there are inaccurate, that the (hurricane) response is in any way clouded by racism. In the political environment, it would counter those false charges.

Just absolute disaster from the standpoint of public safety, the community and the county at large, ... litigation catastrophe.

Jen had a 4.0 for the past semester and that's just the latest example of what she's contributed to our program from a standpoint of the type of academic success we enjoyed as a team.

Japan's alliance with the U.S. will only grow in importance amid the increasingly difficult security situation surrounding our country, thus I think it is necessary to keep the marines in Okinawa, a geographically strategic location from the standpoint of maintaining deterrence.

Last week we did not swing the bat well. Today we were having good at-bats. From a coaching standpoint we're swinging a lot better.

People are just now starting to notice Troy as a game-changer. From a standpoint of making plays, he's carried Pittsburgh to where they are today. He's got a unique style all his own, and I'm a fan of his hair. I like that flair he plays with.

Our hope is if we perform well, not only from a monetary standpoint and an attendance standpoint, (but) from an operational standpoint that includes everything from the building to hotels and everything else, we will have a very good shot at (20)10 and '11.

Pakistan may be driven to test a nuclear device for political reasons within the country, (to) show its own people that it can do this, even though, from the standpoint of a national interest, it would be better off not testing.

Over the trip we played really well. The 6-0 record explains everything. From an offensive standpoint a lot of it was just mental and being able to get everybody their at bats. Everyone is comfortable now and we have our bats going into the conference season.

Overall I am pleased. All things considered I think it went very well and from an artistic standpoint I'm very proud of what we've been able to do. The goal next year is to provide the same quality and save a little money.

Pink always says soft. But that's not a bad thing! A lot of guys, when they allow themselves to try the color, they look in the mirror and say, 'Hey, I look pretty good in this.' Any of the rosy tones really vibrate well for the skin. So I think besides using pink from a psychological standpoint (to show their softer side), there's also the aesthetic aspect - knowing they look good and having people say, 'Wow, that's a great look on you,' which invariably will happen. And that really locks it.

Parnell's fatigued. He's been out a long time. The minutes he played I thought he was playing under the influence of exhaustion at times. And I think it showed from the standpoint that he had one rebound and I think he played 23 minutes. We didn't play anybody that had less rebounds than him. We had one guy who played eight minutes and he had a rebound.

Our minor league staff got him ready from an offensive standpoint but we know Rickie's got a lot of work to do on the defensive side. But he got his 300 at-bats in the second half. So the learning curve of both Rickie and J.J. has happened.

Some of the people we've caught have come from as far away as the interior of Mexico from as far south as Mexico City. But most don't realize it's 70-80 miles, as the crow flies, from the border to the first east-west highway in and out of Alpine and there is nothing in between. People who underestimate that from a physical or watering standpoint come looking for help.

Long before they ever get to the point they need to be taken out from the standpoint of a structural deficiency, they end up being replaced because of a functional deficiency.

Lindsey will assure the strong-dollar policy is intact, even if O'Neill from a business standpoint at Alcoa knows the benefits of a weak dollar.

It figures to be a slower-developing market just from the standpoint that if a player and his representatives feel that he's the key in the market, they're going to want to make sure the last dollar's on the table and that teams have exhausted other avenues to try to improve.

It has been a big distraction. We haven't announced the final penalty for Chad yet. We don't expect somebody to fall into the bad zone, if you will, too many times. So we're going to have to check ourselves from a deterrent standpoint to make sure the guys understand what we're trying to get done.

I think from my standpoint there was nothing stopping Ptarmigan Medical from moving forward from our side. Any time one gets into a new business venture there's going to be a due diligence period to see if that works or not.

I think from an offensive standpoint that's not the key component in our situation. They have to handle a pitching staff... and really call quality games and show all the defensive skills that we require.

I think for Carnell it's been a little tough from the standpoint of coming out of college, me and him splitting time, ... Then to come to a level like this and to have 37 carries and 26 carries on back-to-back weeks, that's pretty tough on your body.

I sure wish we could have got the win for (starter Dave) Borkowski (yesterday), just like I wish we could have got the win for (Tony) Fiore (Saturday). Both those guys have been very reliable for us from the standpoint that they haven't missed a start and they've given us a lot of quality starts.

It definitely can be a serious matter. There's always a concern in regards to clots, aneurysms, things like that. Evidently, we moved on it very quickly. ... I really compliment our doctors from the standpoint of detecting this.

I think looking at restoration from a purely (environmental) standpoint may mean tearing people's houses and businesses down. We have to look at a financial impact; when we look at environment only, where we've been for the last 20 years, it doesn't necessarily work.

I thought in several areas we got better today from the standpoint of players that don't play a lot of minutes got a lot of minutes and different combinations with some starters getting to rest and there not being a drop off. All of that is good stuff.

Management can focus on one business. From a psychological standpoint as well as from a practical standpoint it's a positive move.

That was something very special to me. The parents and coaches really appreciated that. From the standpoint of a person, you're not going to find anyone better.

That's their choice. From my standpoint if I want to participate or not that's my choice too so I'm going to wait and see. I'm hopeful that the study will give everybody goals to achieve, ... I've seen many a plan for Downtown El Paso. The important ingredient is El Pasoans committed to investing in downtown, taking their money and investing it. I'm hopeful this study will give confidence to El Pasoans to invest in the heart of the city. There's a general consensus that the time is now.

That?s the passing game in the NFL. It?s pretty involved. I don?t want to say it?s complex, but it is what it is. It?s not like college where they run quick screens and play-action. The sophistication of the passing game in the NFL from a protection standpoint is pretty involved. I don?t care what team you?re with.

I wasn't trying to hit him in the head. I don't play the game that way. I've got to pitch in. This is the only place I'll get comfortable doing it, making it part of my game plan and taking it into the season. I promise you there are very few people in this world who have stepped in the box in the last seven or eight years against Pedro Martinez that haven't thought about the fastball in. I'm definitely not one of those guys from a pitching standpoint because I've had so much success away.

I wasn't aware it was in such bad shape until recently. From a safety standpoint I was concerned about the old bridge because my children have to cross it on the school bus at least once a day. I am grateful they are fixing it.

I would hope there would be at least three, maybe more. As coaches, we talk about team play, how important it is. This is an opportunity from a league standpoint to show to people - whether it's college kids or high school kids or AAU kids - how important team play really is. It's a very rare opportunity you'd have as a league to maybe put five guys from one team in.

Micron is a beneficiary of the current weaker pricing environment from the standpoint of its relative cost position, market share, and long term profitability as marginal competitors struggle to maintain a current capital base in a weaker pricing environment, ... Further, while pricing hasn't yet bottomed, investor sentiment is likely near a bottom.

while the devastation caused by Katrina in Louisiana is severe, initial reports indicate that the situation could be worse from the standpoint of resuming grain exports.

We dominated people from a personnel standpoint back then,

We recognize and respect the leadership role that you have taken in this country politically and from an economic standpoint as well as a security standpoint,

Well, it hurts from the standpoint to think the way everything came about. At the same time, I mean, I understand it's a business. I've been in this league for 10 years. I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly.

We came out flat. We didn't tackle well. We need to get back to the fundamentals. From a defensive standpoint we played well. But offensively, we couldn't get anything going.

When you start looking at the coaching standpoint with OT, you're throwing a lot of what ifs in there,

We did what we were asked to do at the meeting in March, which was to go back and re-examine the whole issue from a competitive standpoint with all the statistical analysis,

We probably know each other better from an offensive-defensive standpoint than a personal standpoint.

We didn't play with any energy all night long. This is the worst outing that we've had from an energy standpoint in quite some time. But I expected it. It was a sandwich game and we really didn't get after them like we could have.

Today, only a small percentage of consumers are aware of clinical trials as a health care option, both from a standpoint of receiving a high level of care and in helping develop the latest products to treat debilitating or life-threatening diseases,

We do get a lot of questions ranging from how to price corn to how to price cattle and, quite frankly, about the farm bill as well. And from a marketing standpoint there's no question the farm bill will have an effect on how producers manage in the next five six to seven years.

We want to improve our hockey club if we can. We have lines in the water, but there is nothing happening right now, nothing is imminent. A few of the teams that I have spoke with have mentioned that they have four or five games left before Thursday and there is still a sentiment among many teams on whether they are buyers or sellers. So from that standpoint it's a little more complicated because that hasn't really crystallized yet.

I would adopt a standpoint, irrespective of whether someone was for or against it, if I felt deeply that it was right for the movement.

From a personal standpoint, playing someone judged negatively by her friends is not difficult.

I approach directing from an actor's standpoint.

The real risk we see from a port security standpoint is that somebody's going to put something in a container. We are talking about, literally, the first baby steps in a huge process that has to happen. We're trying to create a smart box.

We know that right now from a personnel standpoint we're not at our best, but there's a lot you can make up for with a strong collective effort and a strong belief in one other.

We view this strategy as practical, both from an investment and time-to-market standpoint as reentering the access market with its own products only would be difficult after exiting.

We have been asking questions and raising concerns about our electronic vote machines from the standpoint of security, reliability and adequate access for the disabled since the summer. Now, with those concerns still not put to rest, the county is running out of time.

We have good people at other positions, and just the threat of what Chris can do opens things up for those people. We need to take advantage of that. Chris is maturing as a quarterback, and a lot of that is from the mental standpoint in terms of decision-making, patience and the overall thought process of who to get the ball to and where.

When owners are concerned about players playing in the Olympics when they're injured, that's a legitimate concern. From our standpoint and from our players' standpoint, our season is the most important (thing).

The reason we think this can work from a non-proliferation standpoint is that we are seeking to provide commercially attractive incentives for countries to lease fuel rather than make investments in their own fuel cycle.

There has been a never ending quest for the next Michael Jordan ever since Jordan came along. The fact is there isn't another Michael Jordan out there. But the companies are hoping they find that in James. Kobe Bryant may be the best player in the NBA, but he's shown from the standpoint of selling shoes and apparel that he's not in same league as Michael Jordan.

To me, that's fun. It's a challenge every week, but fun from the standpoint that everything is predicated on what another team is doing.

There are a number of people who've contacted us to try to get us to consider book and movie deals. We have not given serious consideration to any agreement. But the ordeal Richard has been through certainly is something that could be presented in a very appealing manner, from the standpoint of literature.

We've got the mentality that we expect to win every game we're in. From the standpoint of bragging rights, (that win) was big. It gave us a lot of confidence, but it did not surprise us. We've felt all along we could play with anybody.

Without question, Mississippi is going to come back stronger than it was before. It's a proven market, it's a friendly tax rate, and any company that has the means to go back, has to go back. We were at a disadvantage from a marketing standpoint before. This will widen that gap.

The reason we are not much worse off from an economic standpoint is because of the tax cut. That the president's tax cut was approved by the Congress has been the best-timed dose of fiscal medicine the economy has ever received,

We've had so many stores like this opening and closing around here I hope it sticks. I used to have to go to Folsom for socks, so from both a personal and coaching standpoint it's great to have something like this locally. Their high school designs are unique and the way parents like to buy things supporting their kids' schools it's definitely a concept that should do well in this area.

We all collectively have to know we can't have any letdowns because we're playing good. It seems like we're developing something good. The schedule favors us from the standpoint that we're home and we just need to keep it going because we can make a move on some teams.

Those two from a talent standpoint have really changed our team.

With Rita, everyone is going to have to come off the platforms again. Obviously from a safety standpoint and security standpoint, it's the right thing to do. But with energy prices so high, it's hard to turn off the tap.

When you lose a player like Brian, you lose a defensive rebounding presence. So from the standpoint of personnel, we'll have to play differently. We'll play quicker at times and sometimes Brandon (Cole) and Will (Caudle) will have to step in.

Thursdays are obviously very popular here at PGE Park, as are Fridays and Saturdays, so from that standpoint hopefully our fans will find the 2005 schedule very accessible.

We just tell people we were runners-up. But you're definitely going to look back at it. That's just part of coaching. It's comforting to know that we were there from a competition standpoint but irritating to know that we were up by 16 points in the first half.

We lost a football game, but I think we found a defense. I liked the way we played, from a standpoint of effort and aggressiveness. I thought we were very physical. I thought we took the fight to Notre Dame. They're a very talented offensive football team. (But) there's nothing good about losing. Nothing.

We certainly haven't expressed any interest and won't until March 3. But we feel we are poised from a cap standpoint to be aggressive in free agency, and we have identified guys we will go after.

We see 2006 as our platform year from which we will grow. Growth is going to occur both from an organic standpoint and also we will add to our portfolio new facilities.

Very much so because this year should have been the second year of a car-engine formula, and instead we are using the same car and had to do more of an update kit because we did 75 percent road course preparation, ... With the engine change from 3.5 liters to 3.0, it's made it more difficult as well from an equipment standpoint to increase the number of participants.

We should be back to normal operations from a Katrina standpoint sometime Thursday.

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.

We did say that CAFTA is going to do all these things, so now let's go out and deliver, ... From the standpoint of executing CAFTA, we're really only 10% of the way there.

We have evaluated possible pond sites for the project, and this particular parcel is the most viable, from a drainage standpoint and a fiscal perspective.

Brooksville fit the bill. I think Brooksville from a manufacturing industrial standpoint is going to just boom.

Even though the practice made sense from a statistical standpoint and mathematical standpoint, there just wasn't a comfort level with points being taken away or added to the system.

At that point it was pretty much open farmland out there. Now that intersection is kind of the future of the industrial market from the standpoint of access to infrastructure.

A transition to Intel is technically possible but from a marketing standpoint it could be more challenging, ... Why ruin something that's doing well?

Diggs had three practices in six weeks, and I just didn't feel confident to put him on the field. Not so much from a mental standpoint as much from a physical standpoint that he wasn't ready to play football.

Downtown is taking another step toward reinventing itself. From a business standpoint that is something we wanted to help achieve when we started this.

Customers simply look around, if we raise a rate, we are basically chasing our customer to the cable company, we are chasing our customer to take out their wire line phone and go totally wireless. So it doesn't make a lot of sense from a marketing standpoint for us to do that.
