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.

city hear helping months outside project proposals slap until
I think this was done a little underhanded. I didn't even hear about any outside proposals until two months ago. After working for the city for 30 years and helping put this whole project together, its like a slap in the face.
business dressed forward grow guys hard hope move quick recovery showing teammates wait whether
Some of those guys are going to have to grow up quick because in this business they are not going to wait on you. We still have to move forward whether you are here or not. You just hope they have a speedy recovery and they are out there showing their teammates what they can do, and when guys are not dressed out, it's hard to see.

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.
