Jump Quotations | Page 9

(We had to) just keep hitting the ball and make the picture throw pitches. In the past we've been trying to jump on the first pitch. We made their pitchers throw.

We had to jump the fence and pass my brother's body over the wire fence , and even then the nurses and guards refused to allow us into the Health Centre saying that there were no doctors on duty. It was only when we started to misbehave that they looked at my brother and said he was dead.

Those people criticizing (Davis) have never bounced a ball for IU. They haven't bounced one ball and haven't taken one jump shot. We're out here playing.

This team will get better as guys stop waiting around for jump shots and instead being aggressive with the ball.

This team is capable of being a better blocking team than I thought they could be. That's an area we need to improve, because those are quick, easy points. Those are game separators. Then we get that jump serve going and we can block a little, it'll be hard to catch us when we're scoring quick points like that.

This was playoff football in Week 2. We prepared for this game and said we were going to win. It's hard because we only have 29 kids and we wear down, so we have to jump out early.

This was a big jump for a guy who fenced part-time last season.

We got a little kick down the sideline and they were converging on the middle. The ball went to the sideline and they didn't jump on the ball. Caleb hustled down and recovered the ball and here we are with the ball inside their 20-yard line.

We got a little kick down the sideline and they were converging on the middle, ... The ball went to the sideline and they didn't jump on the ball. Caleb hustled down and recovered the ball and here we are with the ball inside their 20-yard line.

We got a fifth year back for him and he took full advantage of it. He had a ton of heart and got his national championship. I just couldn't be happier. That goes along with his sixth-place finish in the long jump which was unexpected. It was just awesome.

We got a defensive stop and had the ball down one. We got to the other end and there was a tackle, a first down. Five or six bodies hit the floor and there was no foul called. They called a jump ball instead. St. Anne had possession, scored and that put it away. It was a huge possession.

We want to deal with this as soon as we can but without undue haste. We can't jump to conclusions.

We knew if we gave them a lead early, they'd just sit on it and play their game. We wanted to jump on them early and get them down.

We knew he was explosive, because last year as a sophomore he could jump up and dunk a basketball like it was nothing. Guys like that usually run faster because they have that fast-twitch muscle thing going for them.

We knew coming into the game that their defense was going to be right up into our face. You can't let up at all. Anytime you take your eyes off or put your head down, they're going to be ready to jump you.

We knew coming in that we were going to have a dogfight, and we had to jump on them early, ... We did that, and our defense was swarming.

We kind of let down a little bit in the third quarter. And when you do that, a team like Gorman will jump all over you.

You jump off the ladder and hopefully you land on the boat. But when you make the jump, there's no guarantee the boats won't do something unexpected.

Together, we can answer this question. If you've been holding off on contributing to a presidential campaign, now's the time to jump in. We have a Democratic nominee, and he needs our support today.

To jump out to that good start was exactly what we needed. We got stops and made shots. That lead keyed this whole game for us.

To have these partners jump into the deal substantiates that there is a market opportunity for satellite operators, and I would look forward to more partnering with satellite firms,

You have a good grip on how you game-plan things and what you want to do. But until you jump in the fire and have to do it, with a real limited amount of time, and make adjustments, and change your thought process based on what's happened that Sunday ... It's an interesting process.

What are we going to do, ... jump ship and say we're going to need some other guys?

What am I supposed to do, jump up and down and whine? If this were 15 years ago, I'd be bemoaning my fate. But I'm in my late 50's, and the realities of life have shown themselves clearly to me.

We smell blood when we get up like that. When a team gets down, that's when you want to pound a team. No disrespect to Seton Hall, but if any team gets down we have to jump on them, because we know if it was switched around, they would jump on us.

We talked about how hard it's going to be going on the road. The whole thing is to just continue to jump the hurdles one game at a time.

We just could not consistently stop them, whether it was a jump shot, whether it was a drive to the rim, whether it was a second chance. For us to give up 94 points was really out of character.

We just played one of the best teams in the state. For one half, we hung in there with them. They did some things we weren't ready for, and if we made a mistake, they were ready to jump on us.

We just wanted to go out there and protect our home court. We knew they played a tough game last night, so we wanted to jump on them early and take care of business.

We just wanted to go out in the second half and play aggressive and not let them jump on us first. We were trying to put the game away.

We just turned cold, and we couldn't make anything. We were trying to live on the jump shot, and we lost our intensity on defense.

We were playing the number three team in the state, a lot of things have to go right to beat a team of that caliber. They came out and scored runs. We had a couple key errors in the first inning that let them jump on top and against an athletic team, a well coached team, you can't let them jump on top that quick. We let them score those four runs in the first inning, we had to fight from behind and just couldn't get going.

We were paying so much attention to Shaq. He ... was cleaning up after we doubled Shaq. He was the one standing there, either making a jump shot or cleaning an offensive rebound up.

We missed a lot of shots that we usually make. I know I missed two open jump shots.

We had the momentum and the crowd was on our side, ... Then, I don't know what happened. They were hitting unbelievable shots, and they were jump shots too.

The problem in China is about 50-60 percent of the poultry is operated on small-scale farms in the backyard, which provides the ideal life for the virus to jump between different species of poultry.

We showed good character to keep working, even when we got behind. We picked up our work ethic, and maybe using four lines was a factor. Late in the game we had more jump and that really helped.

We felt we had to jump on them early. They were a Cinderella team, and I told them the longer you let them hang around, the more things could go in their favor. We had to get out and squash them.

We got stops, we forced them into some contested jump shots and we were able to rebound the ball. We just did what we do best, and that's try to get up and down the floor. That's how we play basketball.

We got some timely hitting. Their pitcher was wild early. It was nice to jump out early. We were playing ahead. Taylor had a lead every time he went out.

We got out playing the way we wanted to play basketball in the first quarter. In the second quarter, we hit a road block. We stopped being aggressive and started settling for jump shots. We only got to the free-throw line nine times. That tells me that we weren't being aggressive.

We got out of what got us the lead. We settled for jump shots. I think we rely a lot on our offense to win basketball games. We tend to get away from our defensive scheme. It's hurt us.

We hit some key jump shots in the first half that helped us open up the lead.

We expect the year to end 2 to 3 percent higher or lower than where it is now. The case for it going down is a massive run of profit taking. The case for it going up is people wanting to get a jump on the January rally.

We challenged their shooters well, (freshman guard Bobby) Riddell hit a couple at the end, but I think we did a good job of challenging their jump shooters.

We challenged him and have been expecting him to have this kind of game. Hopefully, this will jump start him.

We are used to getting open without a whole lot of effort in our league (the Northern Lakes League). Those guys switch screens hard and they jump out on you. You've got to be that much better execution-wise.

We're doing a good job of taking advantage of mistakes. When the door opens, you have to jump on it and make the opportunity pay off.

We're very aware of the situation. We need to jump on teams who are tired from playing the night before. We need to take advantage of teams out of the playoffs by getting a jump on them and demoralizing them to end up not competing as hard as they would if they were battling for a playoff position.

We see a shift in the industry toward cards that give something back, because industry research shows that reward cardholders make more purchases, tend to use their rewards cards exclusively and are less likely to jump ship for lower-rate cards.

We scored early. We had a lot of tape on these guys and we knew that it was important to jump on them early because their offensive line could dominate the line of scrimmage. It didn't hurt that our special teams play was also good.

You got a significant jump in sales, which always happens in the fourth quarter, and that's when you get the huge lift in earnings, but it didn't happen. This goes against everything you expect out of a retailer.

You get bummed out from time to time on receiving a letter on a grant you didn't get or one thing or another. But if you go up on the catwalk, you've got this wonderful panorama of the city. Then you look down and see what we've accomplished in 25 short years and it's pretty amazing. You look and say, 'Sure would like to see this thing through.' And so you kind of recharge and jump back into the fray.

You look at a situation and just jump in. You hope your feet don't fail you.

To be honest, I was surprised I could clear 6-4. I was just looking at this like another workout or practice. I wasn't real happy with the long jump mark but overall was pleased with everything else.

Warren gave a very optimistic prognosis. Some people seem to think there's no trouble just because it hasn't happened yet. If you jump out the window at the 42nd floor and you're still doing fine as you pass the 27th floor, that doesn't mean you don't have a serious problem. I would want to address the problem right now. They'd better face it.

We are very excited to have Kirsten become a member of the University of New Hampshire volleyball family. Kirsten is an outstanding athlete who will excel on the court and in the classroom. She has all the tools to be an immediate impact player for us. She has an outstanding vertical jump and is a very competitive player. She is also very gifted academically so it was a perfect fit for the both of us.

We did a much better job of contesting his shots. He did a really good job at creating space and was able to knock down a few shots, but with Speedy, you want to try and make him into a jump shooter first, but you have to contest those shots.

We didn't make him jump 42 inches. But, I hope he learned how to do things the right way.

We didn't look right. Right from the jump ball we weren't aggressive defensively. Tonight we were a step slow and they made us pay for it.

We didn't just want to jump on a bandwagon of a team. We wanted to make an impact. I think we're doing that right now. We were looking for a group of guys who wanted to win.

We went into the game with the idea that Ray would try to push him to a certain part of the floor and there would be help there. I thought Ray did a good job of pushing him there and then our big guys were ready to at least make him take a jump shot.

We like to wear out the point. We want to jump out on him, turn him, and then bring pressure from behind and try to get some tipped balls.

We cover match play differently than stroke play. For example, when we go to a match, we stay with it. You can't jump around from player-to-player and hole-to-hole as you would in a stroke play event.

Bond yields could jump and then stock markets open down around the world. But, then people would say, 'I'd better be in bonds,'

Bob spearheaded some of the more risky trading businesses, the proprietary trading businesses in which the firm did so well in the 1980s and the 1990s, ... Those brought a lot more risk to Goldman Sachs and with it, an enormous jump in profitability.

Boy, I kind of expected us to jump out early, but wow. I was completely awe-struck.

Even though the surge in inflation was one-off, it was pretty shocking and the jump in fuel prices is likely to have some knock-on effects. It's better to move now than to be forced to move more later.

Even though I?m a bit tired after these last few weeks, I think playing with the world?s number one is going to sort of jump start me.

Even last year, when we were 12-4, we didn't get the bye week, and we had to beat Denver in the playoffs before we ever got to New England, ... That was a disadvantage for us, and an advantage for them. This start we've had has allowed us to get a jump toward getting that first-round bye, which is a real goal.

Either you're for more government regulations, or you're not, and if you're not, why do you want to do more stuff, to jump through more legal hurdles?

Bob is one of the most talented guys I've ever met. His studio's in his home so we would do vocal takes and guitar takes and then jump in the pool. It was a great experience.

Everybody knows after a year off, timing is going to take a little while to come back. It's too bad for those guys, but they're serious guys. They're veterans. They'll jump right in and they'll be fine.

Everybody in the gym knew Rondo was going to get it. My main concern was not letting him get to the lane. I thought it was going to be in our favor if he pulled up and took the jump shot. But he hit it.

Everybody wishes they could jump high. It's not been a surprise to me. Knowing him, I knew he was going to excel.

Everybody will do anything for a kid, and bikers will be the first ones to jump in.

Everyone's going to stay on through the draft. I haven't had a chance to speak to all of them. I will speak to the scouts, but it's a little premature to talk about that. They're already in the process of getting ready for free agency, and I'm just going to jump in and add some things here and there and move forward.

Every jump I've had has been getting better since I left the United States. ... I'm in a position now where I can really help the team and be a pretty valuable member. I feel like if we can all step it up a little bit, we could be in good shape tomorrow.

At that age, she could already jump serve and place it wherever she wanted.

At the beginning of the year we couldn't get the big hit. Now, we've gotten some big hits and it's freed some guys up. We've tried to get them to be aggressive and attack early but they haven't done it. Today, it was nice to jump out and score some runs early instead of playing from behind.

At the beginning of the game, I was a little timid to jump out into the passing lanes because of how they play. Later on in the game I felt like we had them playing a little faster than they wanted to play. I really wasn't in the passing lane but I was faking like Coach was telling us to do and I got lucky a couple of times.

At one point, all the Dead End boys jump in at once, which is where the stress on the container can come in, ... They all do cannonballs and dive, and that's a lot of force to be smashed against. That's when we all hold our breath and run downstairs to see if it's all holding together.

At the moment, it's all got to be confidential because I don't want people to jump to conclusions. There needs to be a proper hearing, second test and then the player's response.

Dionne had her best jump of the season. She got back on track really well in the triple jump. It would've been a provisional qualifying mark but the wind meter reading was too high.

Down the stretch, when we needed those two guys to score the points, that's what they did. We got into the penalty and Allen continued to drive the ball, and Chris had wide-open jump shots because Allen continued to drive the ball, and that's what those guys have to do late in the fourth quarter.

Don't get caught up in the horror that is Paul Runge. Don't make the jump that only a crazy person could do this.

Customer service is the No. 1 priority at Empire, so when we identify an opportunity to improve it, we jump on it. Implementing a system that will give customers the status of their products at any point in time and help ensure that products are delivered on time, every time, is a natural move given our customer service philosophy.

Crude oil prices took a jump after the attempted attack. Crude is the biggest factor in determining gas prices, and $2 per barrel in one day is quite a hike.

Arnaz has some abilities you can use, as far as moving him around and doing different things. He's a strong guy and can break tackles. Brandon can get down the field, jump up and make acrobatic catches and he's real sudden in and out of his breaks. Of course, a guy like Johnnie is solid all the way around. You want some variety with your receivers and I think we have that.

Ever since she went the fastest that day at Indy, our phones have been ringing off the hook. There's been a big jump in the TV numbers, and you can't say it's all Danica, but I don't think there's any question that a lot of it is due to her.

Emotionally our tank wasn't full yesterday. But we rebounded today with a lot of energy, a lot of jump and I thought we did a good job of shutting things down defensively. Bobby made a couple of saves when he had to and I thought we were strong throughout our whole lineup.

Early, where he really struggled was getting shots. He became a jump shooter. He can make shots, but when that becomes the primary function, that's a problem. He's so good on the bounce; and when he plays the 4 or 5, they can't guard him on the dribble. He can hit the shot, but if they come up, he can go by them.

Early on our inside-outside game was working and it allowed us to jump out to a quick lead. Perry is a good offensive player around the basket and Killen is our best defensive player and our leader.

Eric's just got a great ability to score and be a playmaker for us. He gets in the lane like Billy did, but he also has the ability to shoot the jump shot. He's a double threat. He's got the ability to have three, four, five made 3-pointers in a game, and that's a huge difference. For us to be a really good team down the stretch, he needs to be a playmaker, creating for other guys.

Even if he didn't know you, he would jump on you and hug you.

First of all, typically people you would be interested in would be tied up through the end of the season and when we were allowed to talk to Bryan in February, that was unexpected. When your top person gets available months earlier than expected, you jump at that chance.

First you jump off the cliff and you build wings on the way down.

There's still an element of the self-fulfilling prophecy here, in that you're seeing people jump into a rally just because it's the end of the year and we're supposed to have a rally. I wouldn't be surprised if we're lollygagging around here until the end of the year.

There's some thought that this can't just be the highest APR. Maybe it's the biggest jump from one year to the next. Maybe it's the biggest difference between student body and student-athlete. Maybe it's a matching grant for programs that are underperforming that want to do better. All of those things, I think, are going to be fleshed out at this meeting.
