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.
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.
base democratic families labor leader legal means strategy taken union
My strategy from Day One was to reconstruct the traditional base of the Democratic Party: labor, working families and agriculture, and the legal community. We have taken labor for granted. We think getting the endorsement of the union leader means you get the votes.
bad error good margin meant news poll saw time
The first time I saw a poll in this election, they had me at 4 percent. That's the good news. The bad news was that the margin of error was 5 percent. I'd like to think that meant I was at 9 percent.

I loved playing with (Zimmerman). The guy had a separated shoulder in a game and didn't give up a sack. It's amazing. He's an amazing player, and one that young guys in the league can learn from from a know-how and toughness standpoint.

I'm tired of hearing that (expletive). The people that keep bringing that up, tell them to find something else to write about.
game games guys hold injuries season seven together until work
Injuries are part of the game. We always put 11 out there. And that is going to be our 11 for that play or that day. That's all we can work with. We can't work with who's down or whatever, we just have to hold it together until the guys come back. The season is long. We're just seven games in, and we've got a long way to go.

I know what it feels like to hold the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season, so anything less than that feels like a failure.

I hung out with him (Tuesday) night. We hung out at the beach (Tuesday), and he was showing me around. This is his turf. He's well-loved around here, and it's well-deserved.

I'm p---ed off, trust me. But what can I do about it now? All I can do is go to work tomorrow (and) look at the tape hard.

I'm trying to get me a 'Terrible Towel' before the night's out to root for the Steelers.

I've got to get the Terrible Towels out to root for the Steelers so we can play at home. Nothing against the Colts, but I just want to play at home.

It's always the captain's job to have 10 plans ready at all times, ... We're ready for surprises. It's not really an adventure unless you encounter a few surprises along the way.

It was a prioritization that said tax cuts are the central need of government. It didn't talk about how we need to invest in schools.
