backs blocking call catch defensive ends football happen means pass picking running stress talk team until whatever zone
That's the first thing we talk about as receivers on this football team: You're not going to catch a pass until you get a block. That's something we stress each and every day. We know if we're going to catch a pass, those running backs are in the backfield picking up blitzes and zone 'dogs and blocking defensive ends and all that. For us, it's a team thing. We don't play receiver; we play football, whatever that means. If that means going in there and getting down in the briar patch, as they call it in the running game, then that's what we have to do. If we so happen to catch a pass, so be it.

field inside outside team
We were horrible. We didn't get any field position. We always started inside the 20(-yard-line); the other team always started outside the 30.

I just see the young guys come in every year, they want what you have, to go where you've gone. You know it isn't forever, but you want to keep going.

I remember (Clerk of the Court) Buddy Irby opened the courthouse at night for us. It was round-the-clock. In my life I've never put as much focus on something as I did on the prosecution of Danny Rolling.

It heats up a week before, then two days before. Then it gets ridiculous during the last couple of minutes. Sometimes the phone rings at the last minute with some crazy ideas, but I don't like operating that way.
authority becoming besides best brightest educate fix pay recruit run teachers
If you want to fix the schools, pay the teachers better, recruit the best and the brightest back into the classroom, give them the authority to run the classes, educate them so that we're doing something besides becoming just an FCAT test center.
against couch doubt helps home lost mean mentally physically playoffs teams three
It helps us physically and mentally because we play well at home. And you want other teams to come to your place with that doubt that 'They play well at home.' It doesn't mean everything. I've been in the playoffs where we've lost at home against Jacksonville (in the 1996 season) and I didn't get off the couch for three months.
atmosphere league low playoff rethink types win
If you're going to do anything in this league in the playoffs, in January, you have to win these types of games. This is a playoff game, this is a playoff atmosphere and when you come out on the low end of it you really got to rethink what you're doing and how you're doing it and go back to work.

He's in total control. He's the guy that you see when he leaves every week he's got a bag of tapes with him. The rest of us get DVDs, Jake gets a bag of tapes that he takes home to study to make sure that he can put all of us in the right position.

We had a customer, old Col. Franklin. His doctor was in Los Angeles and his house was on Balboa Island. His big decision was, should he move closer to his doctor or stay close to the gas station so we could take care of his cars! That's the kind of station Jim ran.
