Appreciation Quotes
I was at my locker in West Palm pretty upset with the way things were going, and in walked Paul Snyder. I can remember all of my appreciation for him coming up to me and trying to talk me through this time when I had never been so down in my life. Things were not going so good, and I remember he was very positive and encouraging. He said something good was going to happen.

Brand Quotes
I wouldn't use the word normalcy as much as this week is going to be more convenient for us. The normalcy issue is we've never played in this stadium before. We've never come here on a game day. We didn't get the numbers and hash marks on the field until a couple days ago. We have to double up in our locker room and give the other half to Buffalo. So this is going to be a brand new environment for all of us.
-
Adrenaline Quotes
I got off to a little bit of a rough start to say the least. There was a lot of excitement and adrenaline being my first opening day start. It reminded me of my high school basketball days when we used to bounce around in the locker room before a game. That was the feeling I had. It was fine once I settled down and let my defense work. It was back to the good old Henry.
-
Cause Quotes
I don't get too focused on what (the coaches) are thinking, because if I do that, I can't focus on what I'm doing. If you do, when you're out on the field, you think about it. When you're in the locker room, it can cause tension and cause you not to be totally focused on helping the team. I try not to get sidetracked.
-
Basis Quotes
I don't even care about that. We can't get into what somebody else is doing. That's their problems over there. We don't even know the situation to get involved over there. I know guys over there, I know Fred Smoot, Moe Williams, but I don't talk to them on a day-to-day basis so I don't care what goes on in the Minnesota locker room.

Ballgame Quotes
I feel grateful, to be honest with you. Thank God for the effort out there, on both sides of the ball. ... Thank God the replay official saw it as we did in our locker room and changed that call. Things like that go your way throughout a ballgame sometimes, and we've been pretty fortunate this year at the end of games to make plays to win games.

Applaud Quotes
I feel so good, (even) with my own sadness. I can only imagine, and probably better than most, the feeling they must have in that locker room and on that campus. Those kids, many of them were passed over by Big East schools and others, and I tip my hat to their courage ... to the incredible coaching job that Jimmy did and to everybody at George Mason University. ... I applaud them. I share in some degree Jimmy's joy because as a friend, I know what he must be feeling in his heart.

Carry Quotes
I can't remember ever dealing with something like that over a long period of time. There are always disputes. You have them. But when you carry it that far, anything can go on. But that happens in this league. A lot of it stays in the locker room. We try to keep it in the locker room if we can.
-
Became Quotes
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.

Changed Quotes
If the commissioner changed the schedule and you had to play three or four games in a row, championship teams still find a way to win. So we don't use tired as an excuse. We didn't deserve to win. We weren't very efficient offensively. And give their defense credit. They did a good job of limiting Dirk and Josh's looks late in the game. They have a lot of pride in their locker room.
-
Confident Quotes
He's comfortable - that's the main thing. J.P. will be there eventually, but right now Kelly is. He's a comfortable guy in there. He's a confident leader, a natural leader. . . . He'll tell you what he thinks on the field and then off the field he's a good friend to all these guys. So he's really well liked in the locker room, and that goes a long way.
-
Changed Quotes
He hasn't changed at all. He's the same kid I knew in elementary school. The only change is, he's even more competitive, if possible. He's a leader in the huddle, in the locker rooms. He just wants to win so bad. He made history, but he wants to make history from a team point of view.
-
Answer Quotes
He had a big ego. His comments to me in the locker room were, 'They need to play me. I'm better than those guys.' We had a Pro Bowl quarterback (Chris Miller) and I could see why he was still sitting, but he felt he was better than them. Why he was doing what he was doing, I have no idea. I think if you ask him he probably couldn't answer it either.
-
Call Quotes
He came into our locker room that first time, and everybody was just kind of sitting there. The first thing he did was give us all his cell-phone number. He told us to call him any time, anywhere, no matter what the issue was. It was a little thing, but to me, that helped a lot. It was sort of symbolic. He was trying to gain our trust right there at the beginning.

Comments Quotes
We talk about scoring goals; we talk about winning at home, being ahead. None of that means anything if you are not able to hold leads. This come-from-behind tie game - we've done this a number of times this year - it's frustrating; it gets old. The comments in the locker room get old; everything gets old because it culminates to a night where you are up 2-0 when you need to get two points and you're not able to get it. That's pretty sad.
-
Backs Quotes
What you gotta think about is what they're saying in their locker room. They need to jump on us. On our home court, they know how successful we are there and they know how huge the game is. It's do or die for them. It's even more important for us to come out and hopefully break their backs in the first 10 minutes.
-
Awareness Quotes
What we would like to see is when a teammate walks into a locker room and wants to brag about his conquest the night before, that someone would have had their awareness raised around the issues of gender bounds to say, Hey, that's somebody's sister, that's somebody's daughter, that's somebody's friend that you might be talking about. That could easily be our loved one that we care about. And if we don't want our loved ones to be talked about in that way, let's not engage in that kind of conversation about somebody else's loved one.
-
Captain Quotes
He's a great leader for us. In the locker room, he's the guy that gives us a spark when we're down. He's a tremendous leader. He's got a great voice and people listen to him. All he's here for is to win, and the guys follow in his footsteps. He's always there to lead everyone and put in his voice. That's why he's the captain the last two years. He's played that role to perfection.
-
Help Quotes
He's going to help us. When, I don't know. It could be tonight. It could be whenever. With his size, he's going to have a value for us. You don't realize how big he is until he walks into your own locker room. He was a No. 1 pick and hasn't done what people thought he would, but I think there's still time.
