Execution Quotations | Page 2

I can already sense there's a difference in this group of guys just because of what last year's group did. I think that will show up in timely hitting and execution and being able to play the game without fear.

Certainly our team has a nice confident way about it right now. The execution we showed tonight and the way we shot the ball and rebounded the ball was quite good. I can't pay enough compliments to these three guys here and the rest of our team.

Basically, no one ever used hardware-based IA-32 execution, so better to use the silicon for something else. Of course, basically no one uses software-based emulation either, but at least that doesn't cost chip real estate.

I felt pretty good. That's always first and foremost. I was able to use all my pitches. Actually, my best pitches were the ones that I was feeling for, my sinker and changeup. I guess I wasn't getting on top of it. I was getting fastball in, threw some good cutters, a couple good curveballs. I was pretty happy with the execution of pitches and the way I felt.

I feel like Fortier was just as instrumental in my daughter's execution as Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh,

I can't forecast where our stock will be, but I'd be hard pressed to tell you any hole we have in our assets. It's about execution now.

I can't say that it's been any one thing that you can point to and say, 'That's the problem,' ... It's a lot of little things that add to the bigger picture. Defense wins games, and we haven't been playing it. We've been very inconsistent. Offensively, the continuity hasn't been there. It's one or two passes and a shot goes up. Our execution hasn't been there, and that's why we've lost some of these games that we could have won.

Given the expected strength of global economies over the next year or so, we intend that Motorola shareholders will benefit from our continued focus on crisp execution and improving profitable growth.

From our perspective, he's done a yeoman's job of bringing a very attractive and a very acceptable and large number of people each week.

From having the idea to working on it went pretty fast. We didn't just keep thinking about it. We had the idea, we did the research and then we had the execution of it.

Frustration. Come out with effort and execution like that in Game 1 is unacceptable. It's not who we are as a team, and not who we expect to be. Our expectations are much higher than that.

I don't think it was a lack of effort, it was a lack of execution a few times. I'm really proud of the way several of our kids stepped up tonight. They became team leaders, not only on the football field but in the locker room too. We did some things that have not been done before that this team needed. Some in-house soul cleansing.

I don't think it matters necessarily. What matters is the execution of our strategy (of pursuing) profitable growth.

Global Crossing's success in the execution of its strategy demonstrates the importance of a finely tuned, focused plan for carving out a strong competitive position in the industry, ...

What I hope to change, and what I believe will happen, is the execution will be better one extra year into what we're trying to get achieved. That should be significant. We do have a solid foundation, but when you implement a new offense, particularly one that is as intricate and complicated as the West Coast offense, it takes time. You will see tremendous strides and progress from year one to year two.

Going for the fake punt showed a lot of guts and great execution. You've got to give them credit.

Hopefully this is a good slap in the face for our players. We turned the puck over in the neutral zone 30 times. When you lose execution its hard to get it back. I'm disappointed in the way our top players played and execution. It's just one game and we have to move on.

I admired our effort, but our execution wasn't great. We were a step behind all night.

Half-court execution is something we've worked on. We still look to run, but as you get deeper into the MAAC, you have to score in the half-court.

You have to finish the job. That is how you win. There is a real fine line between winning and losing and it is just about execution.

Young teams need to figure that out so they know what to put their focus on when the situation arises.

I think it's a big load (off). We're not happy with the way we finished the game but a win is a win. I don't think we relaxed (in the fourth quarter) because everyone wanted to win this game really bad. I just think our execution wasn't as good as it was in the first half.

It came down to offensive execution. We found a way to get runners on base, move them over and then get the big hit that brought them around. We got into a couple situations with two strikes and two outs and finished with some really good at-bats.

It came down to a few plays of execution. We were able to execute. It's not a situation where they failed. We just executed well.

It comes down to free throws and execution.

I think you're searching for too many answers right there, ... I think it's an execution thing.

Lack of execution was the biggest thing. Their defense was good, but we stopped ourselves a lot. We shot ourselves in the foot,

I thought we played hard at times but our execution was not very good. We felt that they were bigger but I thought we were faster. They turned it in to a half court game and they beat us. We just didn't make the plays we needed to make in order to win the game.

I thought we had a quality, quality game tonight. Guys played to win down the stretch ? except execution and closing out games, on both ends of the floor.

I thought the keys were our energy and intensity. Our execution was the best it has been all year. I thought we played our best game of the season.

I thought the defensive execution wasn't there at the end. The offensive execution was good enough. We were scoring, but when didn't execute on defense. We couldn't stop them from penetrating towards the basket.

I thought that hurt us. But it wasn't why we lost by any means. You can point to several plays just like that throughout the course of the game. Like I said, our execution was very poor tonight and that's something we're going to have to get corrected.

I thought overall the execution was good on both sides of the football. I was looking for a few things. I was looking for an improvement on penalties over last week, which we did, and better alignment on assignment, which we did. We still need to take care of the ball better, but defensively we created some turnovers, which was plus for them.

I think that defensively, I'm sure we're going to become much more effective in our abilities. And then it's just a matter of fine-tuning some offensive things and or execution being as good as we need it to be.

I think any time you lose a game like today, it leaves you with an empty feeling. We played a talented team and there is a reason why that team was 15-1 last year. We knew going in that it was going to take excellent execution on our part in all three phases of our team. Unfortunately we did not get that, we turned the ball over early.

I think it was a good week for us. We accomplished a lot with some of the practice we had in the off week. We're trying to improve our execution and do the little things a little bit better. ... We think we can correct some of the problems we faced in the heartbreaking loss to Penn State.

I think that should set up a very positive picture for the December quarter, subject to execution.

I think some of the execution isn't there. We're looking for too much and making things more difficult.

I think the ability of Felix to guard Darrel Mitchell as he did -- a bigger guy, a physical guy on Darrel -- we never really got ourselves in a rhythm on offense. It seemed like to me we were always struggling on offense. For the most part, our execution wasn't where it needed to be.

I think they know I'm upset because I think they know how much I want execution. It's always disappointing when you don't execute.

I think they're on the right track with the changes they're making, but only time will tell if the execution will work out.

Just continue to improve our shooting, our execution in the half court and defensively get back to what we used to do a little better and that is to get some stops on the perimeter.

Our level of execution seemed lower than what it was against Barton.

Our lack of execution on offense created very quick transitions,

Order-to-delivery cycles are shrinking. That means the daily challenge for end-users isn't to get the perfect plan, but to get as much lights-out execution as possible. We call that streaming or dynamic optimization.

I thought Moses and Brett were terrific. They're guys who haven't played much, but they gave us some execution and energy and got us back in the game.
