Chuck D. Guys Quotations

Our district from top to bottom is a tough district. It's tough. I've seen the guys on film and there's no slouches.

Last season we kind of planned where guys were going to go. Guys followed through by lifting and using proper weight-cutting techniques. All of them have been good seniors this year. It's really been a true team effort.

On our road to five (wins), we had to have this one. We told the guys this week that we've played too hard not to get paid. I told them that it's Friday night. It's time to get paid.

These guys work hard, they're honest, they're nice. I trust them with my tools, money, anything.

We've executed and gotten the ball to guys who can score. We've established our inside game and played pretty good defense.

We needed to get a win, and that was the big thing ... . We could feel it on the sideline. Our guys said, 'We can run the football on these guys,' and they did a nice job.

Communications equipment makers were by far the worst. The semiconductor guys were horrible, and hardware makers had a tough time. But software earnings were only down modestly. The software business will do reasonably well even in a lousy environment.

Our post guys have been our bread and butter all year long. When they get going for us, it opens things up for our guards.

I knew we would go through some growing pains at the quarterback position. We have a couple of new guys there. We're just going to have to go back to the drawing board.

It was unbelievable. ... They started two guys that normally don't start. They were up 10 on us just like that.

With new guys or young guys, they haven't seen it before. Every snap is a new snap. There's nothing to refer back to.
