Omar Stoutmire Quotations

When you've got as many guys as we have getting significant playing time during the playoffs, it makes you feel like a starter and part of the system. They're counting on you. You don't want to let your teammates down, let the coaches down or let the organization down.

I've been on other teams before where they say everyone's a starter, but when it came to playing time, that wasn't always the case. Here, it's something that's lived, not just talked about.

The coaches did a good job of that from training camp to now. They just don't coach you on what the safeties do; they coach what the nickel backs do, what the corners do. That's a big reason why when someone goes down, someone else steps in right away and we don't have big drop-offs.
