Plays Quotations | Page 9

Chris Kaman has been his pupil. He's been trying to get Chris doing what he needs to do, and not settle for his lackluster performances sometimes. I think Coach has really been pushing him to be a better player. Now Chris is playing better, he's getting more confident, and our team is playing a lot better when he plays well. So it's great to see that.

Chris is an excellent point guard who plays with toughness. He is an great passer and more importantly he possesses great decision-making skills on the court.

Chris has started over 60 games for us and this game today was the tops. He's got guts and stays calm no matter what. He never wastes any energy and he never gets rattled. Chris plays every minute of every game and never gets tired, never wears down.

I make those plays every day in practice. I just didn't make it.

I make a playlist for every character I portray. Music plays a huge part in helping me understand a character. Every time I get a new role, I will take a chunk of time to just sit and listen to a bunch of songs and select the ones that make sense in my mind for that character. I can't even explain how much it helps me.

I'm a jumper, he's a passer. So there's going to be some spectacular plays going on.

I loved 'Gladiator' when I was young. Russell Crowe was a big inspiration; the fact that he plays my father in 'Noah' was amazing.

I love art, and it plays a huge role in my life. It's definitely one of my greatest joys, and I'm a bit fanatical about certain painters and poets and musicians and sculptors.

I have a greater understanding of the offense, and that allows me to free-flow and make more plays and that helps my confidence level a lot.

I have a gentlemen friend who encourages me to play golf too he plays as well. He's just a little older than I, but he's an inspiration to me.

I have a feeling it's going to be a knock down, drag out. It's two teams that are pretty close. Whoever plays the best, that's what it boils down to.

I have a sense that what this league does to a guy who plays that brilliantly is beat up on him pretty good.

I have been impressed with him from Day One. He always seems to be pretty effective for us. He has a chance to be an impact player in this league. He's still young and he's still learning, but he plays with a lot of aggressiveness.

I have a desire to be a coach some day, and coach Fennelly knows that. During the games, I call the plays (on the court), so there was no need to change that.

I have actually directed over thirty plays and about one hundred commercials for cable TV, but have not yet had the opportunity to direct a feature film.

I have about a dozen cassettes lying about which I use in random order. Very often, I pick up a cassette to dictate a letter, and I find my voice coming back at me with the lines of plays three years old.

I hate for that to really even be brought up because there's so many good things that have happened throughout the contests with people make great plays and great comebacks, those types of things.

I hated special teams in junior college, but up here, I actually like it. I learned to step it up a notch on defense and special teams. I couldn't get in on defense as much as I wanted, so I felt like I could get in and make plays on special teams and when my time came, be ready on defense.

I had real good rhythm out there. As usual the guys made all the plays behind me. The key to the game was beating Santana. That's something we were unable to do for almost two years.

I give Marquette credit, they made some big shots. But our guys fought. We're one or two plays from coming away with a win, but that's the way it's going to be. We have to continue to grow.

I give a lot of credit to Fordham. They made a lot of plays on both ends of the floor.

I felt like we had our chances, but just made too many mistakes. We weren't able to get it done and they made plays down the stretch.

I felt I did a decent job, but if I could have made a couple more plays I could have done better and helped my team come out with a victory. It's never enough if you lose.

I felt like sometimes, me practising as hard as I was practising and preparing myself to get out there to make it to that Sunday game, and then I wasn't appreciated. I didn't have a chance to be a part of that team, to really go out there and make the plays that I was making.

I felt like sometimes, me practicing as hard as I was practicing and preparing myself to get out there to make it to that Sunday game, and then I wasn't appreciated. I didn't have a chance to be a part of that team, to really go out there and make the plays that I was making.

I felt like I was in the game the whole time. I battled through it. I kept us in the game and there were some unfortunate plays and that's all they needed.

I fell in love with Alan Ayckbourn the day I met him and, starting with 'The Norman Conquests,' went on to do eight plays with him. He tells you just what you want to know and has a brilliant way of solving problems.

I feel like I don't want to be a body out there, being used to help the guys practice. At the end of the day, politics plays a lot into it and if you look at the guys on the roster, some of those guys have got big contracts with shoe deals, commercials and everything. I feel like I've been an underground player my whole career and that would be a factor when it comes down to cutting people.

If I said it was mind-boggling it would make a good story, but it wouldn't be truthful. She didn't make a whole bunch of extraordinary shots. We have plays that set her up for short shots. The kids fed her, and she was happy to receive.

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.

I feel good about where we are right now and about who plays well together, ... We're still in the process of learning who we are, but we have a much better feel for it now than when we started.

I feel pretty good about his ability to make plays and shoot the ball,

I feel on a couple of plays I could've held my ground a little longer.

If Chris plays the way he is, he's going to be difficult to beat. But Tiger is Tiger. He gets on those kind of runs where you never know what's going to happen.

If (Burks) plays up to his abilities, that alone is going to make us better in the passing game. In this offense, if you don't have receivers, you're not going to beat anyone.

I feel like we have a pretty good bench, and a lot of times you can't get guys in, but we were able to give some guys chances. I thought we played well in all areas. We made plays defensively and only walked one.

I feel like that's my main job; I have more plays at corner than I do on special teams, ... Special teams is important, but defense is my main job.

I feel like I know the system the best. I can run all of the plays effectively and have a good grasp of timing with players.

I feel like I've been making those kinds of plays and those kinds of moves since I was 9 years old. It's God's gift. It's a blessing, and I'm just trying to make the most of that blessing.

I feel like I've always been doubted or slighted. Let's be honest. When you're a walk-on, you don't start for a No. 1 team, a national championship contender. You just don't. A walk-on is a guy who plays scout team, who's just happy to be on the team.

I can't say I'm surprised, ... (Stefan) made some plays. Late in preseason games, if you're in his situation, that's what you have to do. That's all I ever played in for my first six or seven years in the League, and you've got to take advantage of it. You've got to run around and make some plays and that's what he did.

I can't say enough about our defense. I guess they ran 15 or so plays inside our 20-yard line in the first quarter, and they didn't score on us until we let them down on our 15 on a long punt return.

I can't get caught up in that. I know the fans would love to get payback, but what they (the fans) don't understand is you still have to play the game. We want to win the games very badly. We can't think that if we don't do well how will it affect you mentally. Regardless of how this plays out, we still have to play them again.

I can't fault the effort, we just need to start making plays when we need them.

I can't see us trying to steal a base in a 0-0 game until the late innings. We'll have to see how that one plays out.

I can't really answer that. As of right now, I'm going to see how it plays out and see who is the head coach at the University of Cincinnati.

I can't give free passes away. Walking guys and hitting a guy, that's uncalled for. I can't do that. That just plays out of my game; I'm a control guy, getting quick outs. When I give out free passes, it makes it tough for me. It's inexcusable.

I found that I was calling plays depending upon the terrain as much as anything,

Great teams make big plays at big times, and they did that. My hat goes off to them. That's why they win so many games.

Give (Habersham Central) credit. They came back out in the sixth inning and scored four runs to flip the momentum, but that just shows how important making plays early in the game is.

Give DePaul credit. They did a good job of making plays down the end. They had been really struggling down the line. They shot 92 percent today so they did a good job at that.

Give a defense three or four weeks to prepare. Normally, we get two or three days. The defense loves preparation. I think this game will surprise some people. Our defense has been maligned, but they've made plays when they had to.

Gilliam doesn't hump it up there very hard, but he throws strikes and he competes. One of the things we do well is play defense, and he threw strikes in the second game and the kids made plays behind him.

For me, songwriting starts with a melody. When a musician plays a chord progression, either the words and vocal melody come to me, or they don't. That's how I determine who to write with. It works, or it doesn't.

Fred will do three things wrong for every five plays he's in there, ... But when gets his hands on the ball, it's what he can do with the ball. That's why you play him.

Frankly, seeing my plays with an audience is something I do with gritted teeth; I find the experience very difficult. I love the moment when you have just the dress rehearsal, when no one's there; that's kind of the peak to me. When people start filing in, I like to file out.

Frankly, I'm glad he wasn't here. When he plays Lake Region gets a nasty edge.

Frances McDormand is my favorite actor. I don't know if that's relevant. But she's a person who plays people. In other words, not everything has to be an over-the-top Broadway musical to get my attention, but it certainly helps.

Fowler plays hard, they like to get on the floor and really work hard. We are going to have to play our best to win the game for sure, because Fowler is going to come ready to play on their home floor.

Four plays really changed the game. The fumble on the kickoff return; a pass interference call that was the wrong call in the second quarter that would've given us the ball in scoring position; the snap hitting our kid in the face when he was in motion; and that 80-yard touchdown run. If one or two of those had gone differently, we could've been right in the game.

For some reason, (Reed) lights it up when he plays Phoenix. His biggest games the last three years have come against them.

From a special teams perspective, it's a huge loss. He's a veteran, well respected and a high-energy guy. He plays every play like it's his last play.

From my perspective, we're teammates and we have the same team goals. I don't view it as a competition. We both want to get better and make plays for the team.

From our point of view, he's very poised. He has very good vision. He's very comfortable with the offense, and he looks like a relaxed player out there. He makes a lot of plays and doesn't seem to hurry things. He executes the offense like a very confident, experienced quarterback would do.

From last year to this year, he's a different quarterback. He has an understanding of what he needs to do to manage the football team. The plays he makes with his feet and throwing the ball is amazing.

From early on, we found out that these fans know the game. They have our backs, and however this season plays out, we're looking to be playing in front of them next year.

Furthermore, I represent a rural district where agriculture plays an important role in the economy and the life of many of its citizens.

Fuller made some good plays and ran hard like he always does. When the receivers got a chance they caught it and did something with it. We've got some good talent. We just need some key personnel and we'll be all right.

(Frye) had some bad plays and then he came back and made some good plays. This is a good learning experience for him.

I don't think anyone should confuse when a team plays a very good offensive team like the Kings and they have a first half like they did, it's not because of our lack of fire.

I don't think anyone, other than maybe a pro golfer, would really understand the type of scrutiny and pressure that a quarterback plays under. And he has so many other people that are looking to him to lead the team.

I don't think about this stuff on that level. I approach this whole thing as a guy who plays guitar and feels a particular way.

I don't think he was rattled. Big plays come with more experience. We're a young team and we need to get better.

If a team plays a zone it doesn't make a lot of sense to attack it if they are the one seed and you are the ninth seed. We just wanted to keep the game close as long as possible. If they played man we would have attacked it. But I wouldn't be doing my job if I let my team attack the best team in the state.

If a free safety hits the line on the run, we're not necessarily responsible for the free safety. Sometimes it was good defense, but there may have been a few plays here or there where we missed a guy or something.

If a guy like Jeremy Roenick or a Brian Leetch goes out and plays great, I would think they're going to be on the team. USA Hockey is going to go with the best players, whether you're 45 or 25.

If Australia plays as good as it possibly can obviously it can win, no doubt about that,

I don't think we were overconfident. Any time we play a foreign offense like we did, our players know we've got to make some plays and get them in third-and-8 (situations).

I don't understand the actor who plays the same role from movie to movie. Maybe it's because I worked on long-running television when I was in my teens, and so the idea of playing the same role just bores me intensely. I'd rather not do it at all.

I don't understand how they called that many power plays against us. I don't understand how we're that bad. I guess the Detroit Red Wings get those calls in their building.

I don't want to be a guy who plays for a lot of teams at the end of his career. Every year, I try to do the best that I can. If things don't work out, I will also practice catching and be ready. Somebody can always use a catcher who can hit.

I don't want to be afraid to run and be afraid to lose and worry about it. I just want to go and run and up down the floor and make some plays and see what happens. That's when we're at our best.

I expect to go out there and have a big game, ... I expect that every week and that's what they pay me for. I'm going to go out there and make plays and do things that I've always done.

I expect to be in there to make big plays all year long. I just hope I have the same opportunities to make plays in bigger spots against better opponents.

If a candidate's message plays well in Missouri, it's going to play well everywhere.

I ended up doing four or five plays in college and being an English major with my thesis in language acquisition, which I was planning to study in graduate school.

I enjoy that challenge. If they're looking at me, that means they're not looking at everybody else on the field. So other guys can make plays. I think that plays into our hands.

I don't think it's a big deal. I'm sure I'll get in a few games. I'd love to start, but we'll just wait and see how it plays out.

I don't think it's a bad thing that he's getting a fresh start with a different team. It boils down to the White Sox have to do the best for their team. Every player that plays this game, eventually you're going to have your number called and have to leave. It's the business. I see it from both sides.

I don't think it's a secret to anyone that the trans-Alaska pipeline, the terminal at Valdez, is a critical asset not only to the state but the country. It's stating the obvious - that this pipeline plays a critical role in this nation's economy.

I don't think Randy takes many plays off, ... There are times when he runs some routes at a change-of-pace speed, and that is one of his strengths. He's lulled some guys to sleep and gotten big plays, coming off easy and then taking off and going.

I don't think Randy takes many plays off.

I don't think I've seen Troy yet totally in command and relaxed. He really wants to do well and couldn't wait to get in and play after sitting out a couple games there when we were playing two weeks ago. This week I thought was very, very valuable in that he got 71 snaps and that he got a lot of plays on tape and a lot of things he can learn from. I just think it's just relaxing and being in command with the whole situation. To me, that's the biggest task that he has to tackle.

I don't think I've ever been in a game where that many power plays goals were scored.

From the beginning we thought we had a chance to win the game. We all kind of looked at each other and in unspoken words said 'we can do this.' What we said all along is you just have to hang around, which we did. We just didn't make the plays down the stretch to get the win.

From the outside, you really wouldn't notice, but it may have been just five or six plays where I felt like I could have dodged a (defender) or made a throw, ... Last year, maybe I dodged a guy, but I was not able to make a throw, or made a throw and was not accurate. I wanted to have a little more stamina and within a 5-yard box be quicker.

From the time I first saw him play, up until even now, he still plays with that same enthusiasm and excitement. You can tell he just loves the competition and he's not concerned with the consequences. It's like he's still out there in the yard playing with his friends.

For me, there's no distinction between English and British. We are the biggest nation in the world that plays this game and we want someone who can really move us on.

For two weeks in a row, we did not make the plays when we needed to make the plays. The last two years, we were able to make those plays.
