Yards Quotations | Page 2

I did not play well at all, ... I had a two-way miss this week. You can't aim a two-way miss even if those fairways are 300 yards wide. If you get it hitting both ways, it's tough to play.

I don't ever see that on film. I see the same guy. His last couple games -- that kind of speaks for itself. And you can't forget last year. He had 4,000 yards and two 1,000-yard receivers.

I don't know that tradition has ever won or lost a game. As far as I can tell, the field they have up there is 53 yards wide and 100 yards deep. They'll play 11. We'll play 11. The game will be decided on who does the best job of blocking and tackling and dominating the guys they play against.

I don't know where that comes from. You tell me. The guy carries the ball 25 times a game and averages 100 yards a game. I don't think that's soft. Maybe because he does it with a smile.

I don't care how many yards you give up -- if they don't score, they don't win. Plain and simple. I don't care what they do.

I don't believe we're an undisciplined team. Obviously we were in the wrong place in the wrong times in critical situations. I mean, 16 penalties for 155 yards - that's unheard of. It's unbelievable.

Carl is deadly from three yards out. That's the third time he's scored from there this season.

Bubba Watson ? keep that name in mind. That guy hits the ball 350 yards in the air.

I looked out the window and saw a small boat with about five people in it, about 20 yards away. Two of them had rifles and one had some kind of rocket launcher. They were firing the rifle and then they fired the rocket launcher twice.

I looked out of the window and saw a small boat with about five people in it about 20 yards away,

I felt I needed to get a little bit stronger, so I'm doing that. It really helps. I'm certainly longer. I'm seeing probably 5 to 12 yards difference for the most part.

I did not feel like we came out and played with the necessary intensity in the first half. The Kings scored on a pair of excellent plays. One guy scored from 40 yards out and another on a bicycle kick. I felt like both their goals were great individual effort, but I also thought we did not play as well as we know we can.

Getting his 2,000 yards passing, 1,000 rushing, all that stuff?s great, ... but Brad will ultimately be judged by winning football games, and he understands that.

From what I heard, they said is they want them to call that. Even though the guy was 25, 30 yards behind it, he said they want us to make this call. Which makes absolutely no sense to me, take away a great play like that because a guy is celebrating.

If anybody knows how good he is, it's us. It seems like he's gotten 1,000 yards on us the last two years.

I don't think it's as easy as people make it out to be. You also have to protect in there. You're looking through your legs and trying to get something back there 15 yards to a certain spot. Your head's down and there's someone coming who just gets a free whack at you. I don't think there's anything easy about that deal.

I don't think I've had that much success. If I had nine catches for like 180 yards and two touchdowns, yeah. But you can always improve, and that's what I'm trying to do.

From the starting kickoff we controlled the tempo of the game, playing hard for all four quarters. The offense was on fire, controlling the clock and ball, rolling up 316 total yards and the defense overpowering (Truckee).

For two years in a row, Andre Johnson led the league as a receiver in yards after catch. Had Corey had enough catches, he'd have blown him out of the water. So this guy's a legitimate big-play guy. Once he catches the ball, he can outrun people.

If that's how you judge me as a football player, then you need to go continue judging me. Me not hitting 1,000 yards doesn't make me any less of a receiver. It would have been an accomplishment to go over 1,000, but we didn't even pass the ball but once or twice in the fourth quarter.

He was a rare one: only 5 feet 7 inches tall, a lawyer and a combat veteran of the Korean War as a Marine officer. Eddie came from Washington in a trade in 1960 and ran the team in the first years while Don Meredith was learning. He was such a fantastic ball handler that even with sorry protection and the defensive line crashing in on him he threw a lot of beautiful long passes. The ball would fly out of the crowd like a mortar shell and sail 50 yards downfield. Eddie did everything by the numbers. If the receiver wasn't there, we knew whose fault it was.

He had some success when he was at Wisconsin. I think they averaged like 450 yards of total offense. Obviously, Philadelphia, he had success there. That's about as much of him I know. Obviously, I want to get a chance to know him. The main thing for me is to get the playbook and get ready to roll.

He had one touchdown of 40 yards called back after a penalty. Without that, I think he would've thrown for 400 yards last week.

He has done me, it was blatant. The referee was five yards away and he did nothing.

He has an instinct for the game. He makes yards after contact, he's patient and confident and that's how those 3- and 4-yard runs get turned into something bigger.

He has a lot more power, deceptive power, a lot more than you see on film. He's strong, he has the speed to get outside. I think he got some tough yards inside today. That's for sure.

He hit the ball about 25 yards out and scored. It was a cracking goal.

He (hit) 10,000 yards today. You need to congratulate him. It was good to see him get going.

He had an 80-yard run called back. He was probably on pace to run for 400 yards in that game.

He had a lot of tough yards out there.

He got the ball and came down hill. I'm 12 yards off the ball and it parted just like the Red Sea.

He got hit from behind by another horse about 50 yards out of the gate and never really relaxed after that.

He goes through a flat spot for about ten or 15 yards but I was never worried. He's got unbelievable sprinting powers.

Having Corey, it's huge. You can sit there and pound him in there in weather like this. He didn't have very many yards in the first half, but you can come out there in the second half and wear them down, the way we did. When you can keep running Corey at them, it's a great plus.

He made that corner look bad, and on each one of those, he added about 30 or 40 yards to the catch, just on athletic plays.

He may have played his best game of the season tonight. His ability to distribute and throw the ball 60 yards downfield, and boot it 70 yards downfield allows Leach and Smith to become very dangerous offensively.

Within the 20, there's only 30 yards to work with, which is an advantage for the defense. As the season goes on and we get better with it, I don't see us having a real big problem. It's tough right now, but it's something we're going to work through and solve.

We've been throwing the football. In three out of the four games, we've rushed for over 200 yards and passed for over 200 yards.

We're protecting the crap out of me and it's really showing. Being able to get back there and make some throws, we had one holding call that brought a touchdown back, that was unfortunate, but I think overall, up front, that's the reason you're seeing all these yards thrown for.

We're pretty familiar with it, so it's not like a new thing. But playing in here on 100 yards is new, especially with the vision. It's more like grass with the ball in that it rolls slower and stops easier, but it's not as much as grass. So it's kind of in the middle.

We've got to quit shooting ourselves in the foot. Defense did an excellent job allowing only 76 yards of offense, and that's our bright spot of the night.

We've got to have more than (91) yards rushing to stay with anybody, even this upcoming week. That's going to be one of the main emphases coming this week in practice. We've got to push the running game and start clicking right.

We've given up some yards and we've got to get that locked in.

We thought with their speed that they'd get yards on the ground, we just wanted to limit them through the air.

We are facing the top offense in the league. They are running for 166 yards a game, and have a balance that we haven't seen yet. They have a very good offensive line, a very good runner and a good, experienced quarterback. They are going to give us a lot of trouble and this is, balance-wise, the best offense we've played.

They have a very good offensive line, a very good runner and a good, experienced quarterback. They are going to give us a lot of trouble and this is, balance-wise, the best offense we've played.

Together, both quarterbacks are throwing for about 250 yards per game and completing about 70 percent of their passes. That's pretty strong for a couple of guys who don't have a lot of experience.

Guys are going to miss tackles and maybe it isn't just one individual as much as just the complete effort. You've got to make sure you've got all 11 guys running to the football, so if somebody does miss a tackle the guy doesn't gain the extra yards afterwards.

Guys are four and five yards down the field and I'm throwing bullets. You can't do that.

Having me at fullback, you kind of have that we-can-score-at-any- time mentality. When I get the ball, I can score from maybe 40, 50 and maybe 60 yards out, and that's definitely a threat we haven't had in the past.

He's a big, punishing back who can get you those yards inside the red zone, and especially inside the 10.

He's a backside runner. If he catches you running to the ball, he'll make you pay for it. Him making you pay for it is a lot different than other backs. Most times, it will cost you 10 yards or so. With him, he'll take it 50 yards for a touchdown.

He's a guy that has every move you need as a running back. He can stop you in your tracks. He can stop and go on a dime. He can spin on you. He can catch the ball. He can run over you. He can bull you for 3 yards and get into the end zone. Then he has the jets to get past you. He has everything you need to be a great back, and that's why he is one.

He's a great young man. He was definitely one of the reasons we were in the playoffs. He's one of those guys who walked the walk. Every time we needed a couple of yards we went behind him.

Going into that last series, I looked up at the board ... there was 7 yards in total offense. I was just amazed at that.

He showed me something. Not too many guys can go 70 yards on Michigan.

The range is 40 yards and in, preferably 30 yards and in. And every manufacturer will tell you the same thing.

He's playing the best football now. Maybe he doesn't get the records, maybe he doesn't have the yards or have the most touchdown passes, but from a game operational standpoint, I think Tom Brady throws the ball as well as anybody in football, manages the game as well as anybody in football, and has three rings on his fingers in the last four years, and he's a winner.

I always feel confident running the two-minute drill. It's a time for the offense to shine. The defense sits back and relaxes and they're tired. I just progress through my reads and take what the defense gives me. Last week I didn't force it. In the two-minute, everybody thinks you have to throw it deep, but you really have to take what they give you and dump it down and get your yards and work the ball down the field.

He wants to be in the game ... and he knows how to out-scheme coaches. Forty-two yards on one play and he wants 43 yards on the next. That is something I love about him.

He lined up out of position. That means instead of being two yards from the ball carrier, you might be seven, and then what should be an easy tackle near the line becomes an attempted tackle in the open field, and a 2-yard gain turns into 10.

Hannah took the a restart form 30 yards out and Hilary ran into the box and finished it.

I wouldn't be surprised if he called me later on this week and put some kind of wager out there as far as yards per carry or something.

(Jacobs) has two receivers that are going to get a shot at pro ball and have the ability to play. They're averaging over 100 yards a game in receptions. They have a combination of things that makes it very hard to stop.

Just look at the last three games. They ran the ball for more than 200 yards against Northern Iowa and not many folks do.

Keep five yards from a carriage, ten yards from a horse, and a hundred yards from an elephant; but the distance one should keep from a wicked man cannot be measured.

I think it's actually easier for me to simulate Vick than Peyton Manning, but you can't mimic him to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and fling the thing 65 or 70 yards off your back foot (like Vick can). I've got a little bit of a burst, but I can't run a 4.2, that's for darn sure. You see guys on film take the wrong angle on him all the time because he's so fast. You know he's fast, but you don't know how fast until you watch him in person.

I think it's actually easier for me to simulate him than it would be a Peyton Manning, ... but you can't do it to the full extent. You can't stand there flat-footed and sling the thing 65, 70 yards off your back foot, or when you take off and run.

I think it's been my work ethic. I've just been a hard worker, a guy that's always trying to be positive and put a positive swing on things sometimes even in the darkest moments. And I think people can relate to that being a blue-collar guy. My game is a blue-collar game. Three yards and a cloud of dust and get up and do it again. That's the way in the Midwest, especially Detroit, which is a very, very blue-collar town. I think people relate to that, as well as Pittsburgh.

It comes across pretty well (on tape). You think there's a hole and you see them play Auburn and North Carolina and you think the guy might get 15 yards but he only gets about eight. They run to the ball very well. But that doesn't mean we can't move the ball.

It comes and it goes, ... He'll go out the first two weeks of the season and gain 200 yards and people will be saying, 'Well, the old Eddie's back.' You know, Eddie never left. It's overreaction and overanalyzing. He's going to be the same, and he is the same. We expect him to be as productive this year as any year.

It didn't look good in the first half but the second half, it all went downhill. Even though it's 20-0, if you get a score you can get back in the game. But we let them run 80 yards for a touchdown and then didn't do anything at all.

It is simply ridiculous to say it cannot be done. If one fence won't do it, then build a second 100 yards behind it. And then build a road for patrols in between. Put cameras. Put sensors. Put out lots of patrols.

I thought they played great. They gave up few yards here and there, but when it really counted they kept 'em out of the end zone. It was a great showing by those guys and really restored some of that confidence we maybe lost.

I think we gave them more yards on penalties than they had in the first half. Our defense flies around and makes some plays, and we just need to keep that up.

I think we know we are No. 1. I don't think yards equal wins. Yards are big, but points are the main thing that matters. We did not play very well and gave up a bunch of yards and I think we lost our No. 1 status, but points are a big deal and I think we hold that.

I think we have two really good receivers. We have Chris Chambers, who went to the Pro Bowl, and Marty Booker, one of the leaders in yards per catch. If we could find someone who would complement those guys, that would certainly be something that would be a secondary priority on offense if we had the opportunity to do it.

I thought Ross Ryan had a wonderful debut here. I think he's one of those guys that really is a weapon. And imagine a punter running down the field 40 yards or so and recovering a fumble. Ross Ryan is a competitive guy.

I thought our defense was just outstanding. That was a team that rushed for 350 yards against Hawaii. The defense won the game for us.

I think it's very important. I've seen just in the past week alone a big change in Michael. He's a very enthusiastic young man as it is. Now he comes home and he's saying, 'Dad, I hit the ball 70 yards today.' We were talking about it over dinner. I think it's a great program. I love it.

I think we're on our way to being a great offense. But right now we're not scoring any points. That's the bottom line. You offense has to score points, no matter how many yards you get.

I was within 100 yards of the exit. Then there was this huge loud explosion right next to me. I flinched. My initial reaction was, someone shot the back window out of the car. It was a very surreal experience for me. It was pretty crazy, you don't have a guy shoot at you very often. I'm very happy they caught the guy.

I was within 100 yards of the exit and there was this huge, loud explosion right next to me. I turned around and looked and the windows were all intact. When I got to the airport, I hopped out and looked and, sure enough, there was a nice little round hole.

I was watching him call plays. I said, 'That's a fun way to call it.' You go back and throw one 60 yards downfield. If you don't hit it, who cares? You're going to run it for the next play and you get to stay on the field. We're not near in that category.

I was a little upset for the girls giving up the goal just because basically a girl was allowed to stand there with nobody really trying to play her and gave her a free hit on the net. Even though it came from about 30 yards out as a big high ball, we got a little lazy in the middle and against good teams we can't allow that to happen.

I was about 200 yards out, just past the second sandbar, ... And when I heard the scream, I turned around and saw one of the girls swimming towards the beach frantically and the other one had disappeared and there was a big dark spot where she used to be in the water.

I think they have great balance, and any time you have great balance, it's a much more difficult challenge to defend. Pittman has had an outstanding year; over 1,100 yards in ten games. I think he's tough, has great vision, finds the hole, and of course he's surrounded by a lot of good people. When you're complimented and you have the balance to both run and throw, then it opens everything up.

I think they are very similar in a lot of ways. They are all very good quarterbacks - they can throw the ball, they can run and they can make good decisions. They might have few things where one runs a second faster or the other throws the ball five yards longer, but I don't think there a whole heck of a lot different in a lot of ways. We got a great group and whoever starts at that position should be very good.

I think there's a couple of reasons: One, I don't think they understand it. I think they see it and hear 'option' and think that's 3 yards and a cloud of dust, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Jeff has fullback toughness and tailback speed. He's an outstanding blocker and is a guy who can get the yards when we need them. He really makes us a tough offense to defend because he's a guy opposing defenses have to pay a lot of attention to.

Jay carried the ball seven times for 100 yards and scored two touchdowns. Besides being an extremely talented football player, he also has tremendous integrity and character.

Korean yards can concentrate on high-end products like LNG carriers. China's yards are coming from a fairly low productivity base.

Last year at The Players Championship I bogeyed the last hole to miss the cut. When I came out of the scorer's tent, the last thing I wanted to do was sign autographs, and they're lined up for 100 yards there. But I did it.

I remember what it was like to be a young coach. Sometimes you get caught up in how many points you score or how many yards you can gain. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you score 60 points and they score one more than you.

Our kids didn't quit. We talked at halftime and on our opening drive we go down and score. In the second half our defense held them to 47 yards of total offense. We came back in the second half, but we just came up a little bit short.

Our job is to make those guys successful. We know no glory is going to come to us. But if we can get our quarterback throwing for 300 yards and after the game he's not limping and his jersey's not dirty, and Rudi's jersey is dirty and he's running, that's a good game for us.

Our hole 11 at Campbellsville is 404 yards and on a level surface, and he drove the green on that one -- in competition. He and I played in a golf tournament in Vegas two consecutive years, and on a 517-yard par 5 there, I saw him hit a pitching wedge 95 yards to the green.

Our poultry industry is very consolidated, unlike that of other countries where chickens are raised in yards and inside homes. Our chickens, turkeys and eggs are raised in very controlled environments.
