A. Hodge Hard Quotations

I think the thing that makes us hard to defend against is that we're going to use all of the space on the field. And we're going to throw the ball. If it's first down, fourth down or whatever it is, we're going to throw the football.

We want to be that team that nobody wants to play. We are on our way to that goal as our kids have worked hard and then worked harder to achieve that.

Putting is so much feel, so it's hard to tell if a belly putter will work for someone. But if you're having trouble with short putts, it's going to help you regain your mechanics so that you release the blade through the putt. If nothing else, in that way it's a good training device.

I'm going to have to be as patient as I've ever been in basketball, ... I'm going to have to continue to work hard every day and when I get my opportunity, I have to make the best of it.

I'm good at ping-pong. It was hard at first.

If you have coordinators coming in and out, it's going to be hard for guys relationship-wise to get to know them.

I just felt jubilation. I thought all the hard work I put in for four years paid off. I'm going to try to do the same thing I did in college at the next level.

I don't want to say what coach Karl is throwing at me isn't tough - that it isn't as hard as my brother - because he's just going to throw more at me. I'm not going to set myself up, but growing up in Harlem, New York, it was definitely hard and this is just another bump in the road. Once I get past it, I'll be that much stronger.

He probably has the best hands on the team. He catches every ball, whether it's in practice or in a game. He's going to catch hard passes, but he makes the easy catch look just flawless.
