Greg Lewis Quotations

We're not a one-man show. We all want to win, and T.O. is on the team. He might have wanted to win this game a lot, but I think we all did.

We had a few chances at it, but we let it slip away from us. We came out a little tight early, but that comes with playing at Petal. They're awfully tough here. But once we saw we could score some runs, we relaxed and hit the ball well.

Personally, I think chemistry is over-rated. You know the play, you run the play, the ball is there, and you catch it. They're both professionals. They'll be fine.

I explained how it worked. At that point in time, he said 'That's what I want to do.' I thought, 'We got six long years. He needs to go to high school, let his hair grow, be idealistic and that will fall by the wayside.' But it never did. He never wavered.

I was in the right place, I believe.

I saw it. You had to be blind not to see it.

Our kids never quit. They just kept coming back and played good baseball.

It doesn't affect us and it doesn't affect T.O..

We are not ready to play Atlanta (in the season-opener on Sept. 12) yet, but we have around two weeks to prepare. We have a lot of room to improve. We had some mistakes out there, so we are going to come in and get better next week.

Todd is one of the closest friends I have on the team, and I feel bad for him for all the work he's put in this offseason. But injuries take place in this game, and the team has to get in there. Somebody has to step up and make plays.

Those two guys were just in a zone. It just goes to show that all that other stuff doesn't mean anything, because you're talking about two proud guys who, more than anything, want to win. And when they play like this, we have an excellent chance of winning.

What did he end up with? It had no effect on anything. He came out and played as well as Donovan or Westbrook.

Flamboyant? ... I never really thought about it, but it's true. We are. We're just a different breed than everybody else.

As a parent, having gone through the whole athletic thing myself, I know promises like that are pretty shallow. I feel he wasn't being genuine, and he was willing to tell parents what they wanted to hear.

That's what they pay us to do, go out there and catch balls. That was the way I had to catch it, so I decided to catch it with one hand. It was just the usual for me.

Your personal business is your personal business, and we all recognize that. That's what my parents told me.

This is something we will look more at (in the future). There are developers out there who care about the community.

They were double-teaming T.O.. So they spread the ball around and moved it to myself, Reggie (Brown), L.J. (Smith), Lamar (Gordon) and a lot of the guys. Brian (Westbrook) got into the passing game. So I guess it looked that way.

There's always going to be somebody open. We feel like anybody can make a big play at any time.

It was different. I haven't done that in a long time, but I was excited about it. I prayed on it last night. I was psyched to get out there, and I made a couple of plays.

It's a difference but it's not a difference where I need to change what I do, ... I can't do what he did, and I'm not going to try to do what he did. I'm just going to go out and play my game and do what I'm capable of doing, and I think the other guys are going to do the same. We're going to make it work.

Everybody saw it. He came out and exploded the first play of the game. He got a touchdown and that set everything off the right way, the way it's supposed to be.

Everybody saw he came out exploding on the first play of the game. That just set everything off the right way.

I'm pretty happy with the top two girls. That's where I expect them to be. All the girls have been working really hard and have come a long way in a week and a half.

I'm not trying to be somebody I'm not,

He told me they were making fun of me on TV for running the wrong route.

He said he always gets geeked for every game. Whether he is the captain or not the captain or whether we're playing the 49ers or whether we're not playing the 49ers. That's just T.O. He's gonna do it his way.
