Ball Quotes
My coach, he tried to find different ways to get me the ball ? options, coming up with creative plays. But they were normally the seven routes, the post corners and the digs, and when you got a tight end ? who can make moves like a wide receiver ? when there is a linebacker on you, that's kind of a mismatch.
-
Brought Quotes
We are really excited about the incoming student-athletes. We addressed the wide receiver position; we addressed the tight end and running back deficiency we have. We still have some holes to fill, but I really think we brought in a great quality of class in terms of academics, character and talent.
-
Confident Quotes
Well, that was one of those things where I was looking left the whole way and we had three receivers over there, ... I tried to fake to Antwaan (Randle El) right away and didn't feel confident and didn't want to force it, so I saw the opportunity to go to my right, and went right, and that's when the receiver takes over.
-
Adjust Quotes
We knew we had time for just one play so we lined up and sent four receivers up the field, ... Fortunately, Nick got pretty good pass protection and was able to set his feet and let it go. The pass wasn't great and the receiver had to adjust and go up and get it. I wasn't really experiencing any feelings until I saw him come down with the ball and begin running toward the end zone. Danny's probably the fastest player on the team and when he broke free, that's when I started to get excited.
-
Against Quotes
There are a lot of guys who might be the best, but I'd have to say Chris McAlister. I've played against him a few times and honestly he gets better each time I face him. He just seems to keep maturing in their system, and he's a talented guy. He's a guy who was voted to the Pro Bowl about one or two years later than he deserved to be because he's someone who they can put on the other team's best receiver and just expect him to hold that guy in check.
-
Guys Quotes
When you have a different receiver every day, there's timing issues involved. The thing I've been most pleased with is, a lot of times, we're just missing (on pass attempts). Ben's getting it to the right spot, so hopefully, it's just a timing issue with all the different guys out there.
-
Guess Quotes
Finn is kind of the red-headed stepchild of our team. He's not really a running back because they don't give him the ball. He's not a receiver because they rarely throw to him. And we don't want him on the offensive line because he's too skinny to be a part of the line. So I guess he's just kind of a mutt. He's just a mutt who does whatever is needed.
-
Against Quotes
Experience is good. Whenever you're going against a receiver like Moss, experience is a lot. It makes a little bit of difference. We know he's going to make plays, but we're going to try to make him make plays in front of us and not behind us. I think that was one of the keys against him last year.
-
Game Quotes
We don't score 30 points a game. We don't have a receiver who can go and get you 180 yards. We don't have a quarterback who's going to throw for 350. But I'll tell you what we do have: A team that's going to the AFC Championship Game. All them big-time offenses, you know where they're at? Home watching us.
-
Assignment Quotes
What they do is make you play assignment football. Somebody's got to take the running back. Somebody's got to take the quarterback. Somebody's got to take the wide receiver coming around for the hitch. Then, you have to be ready for the play-action pass. They make you monitor threats, and that cuts down your pursuit, if you're not careful.
-
Against Quotes
We think Santonio Holmes is a great player, ... Early last year, he was about the only guy that was making plays for us. The people we played against saw that and put more attention on him. Some of our young guys then got a little more involved and that eased the burden off Santonio a little bit. If we can get to the point where we can recognize that he is being singled, we need to go to Santonio Holmes, because from a receiver standpoint he's top-notch.
-
Catch Quotes
Either they run real fast and can't catch or they can catch, but run slow. Or there was some medical issue or character issue. A lot of times, the second round in general is a hit or miss type of round regardless of position. I do think receiver is a position where you see a number of misses in there.
-
Best Quotes
Cory is a safety valve. You know you always have No. 12. He can always take it to the house. He is probably the best red zone receiver to play the game, and hopefully we can get to a point where we can utilize him and get the most out of him because is a great player and we all know that.
-
Quickly Quotes
The tag that I was too small and too slow just made me work that much harder. Besides, quickness is more important than flat-out speed. How often does a receiver run 40 yards straight down the field? Not very often. Lateral speed is what counts. How quickly can you get in and out of a cut? I can do that as well as anyone.
-
Achieve Quotes
Some people say I may have underachieved when I was in Pittsburgh, ... But you have to have the opportunity to achieve anything, period, much less overachieve. And I think I was a big-play receiver in Pittsburgh. I only averaged 20 yards per catch (actually 19.8 in 11 games last year).
-
Ball Quotes
People don't know what you're doing. We can line him up at receiver and if a smaller defender tries to cover him, that's a big mismatch. You get in the red zone, down near the goal line, and he becomes a real big factor if you can get him matched up with smaller defensive backs. . . . It's head and shoulders when you say who's the top tight end in the league in terms of getting the ball to a tight end and letting him do some things.
-
Best Quotes
After the first couple of months I was kind of depressed, but after that I started looking at it as something I've got to deal with, ... Since then, it's been a motivation for me to do my best. People look at it and they're like, 'Man, that's not good because you played receiver and you were really good at it,' but I just use it as motivation because all I can do is kick. If that's all I can do, I'm going to be the best at it.
-
Addition Quotes
Coach has me playing a lot of receiver and I wanted to do that last year, ... But he really didn't put it in that much. Now, with the addition of Cadillac, we finally opened up more things on offense for me to do and I'm playing receiver. I enjoy doing that. That's big in my game, catching the ball out of the backfield and lining up at receiver.
-
Blocking Quotes
The bottom line is this is not what we bought into when we came to Atlanta. If we would have known Peerless was going to play a blocking receiver role and not a vertical wide receiver, we wouldn't have gone in that direction. But it was a situation where the Falcons organization went through a changing of the guard, and Peerless got caught in that situation and it didn't coincide with his talent.
-
Again Quotes
A late change in the pipeline route required us to obtain rights of way that were not initially necessary. One last location that needed to be secured had been holding us up for the past three weeks, but we have now obtained an ideal site for our receiver equipment and are once again moving full speed ahead.
-
Added Quotes
A major trend in security installations is the cost-effective integration of fiber optic cabling with copper-based cameras, servers and monitors. Transporting analog video over fiber optic cabling allows for extended surveillance reach and less noise and interference than can be obtained over copper infrastructure. We have also added automatic gain control on both the transmitter and the receiver to offer the customers better images without timely manual adjustments, a true customer benefit.
-
Actual Quotes
There were actually about 12 of us sitting there, so the actual chances of making the team as a wide receiver were not that great, ... The way the numbers were working and we had three NFL Europe guys that were exempt from the first cut, so it was surprising but at the same time, it's a business.
-
Ball Quotes
This is the most dynamic position in all of sports. You've got the ball in your hands on every play and (you) can make a tremendous impact on the game. But it's also got to be a very exciting, energizing position. If you remember watching him play wide receiver and running kicks, you certainly can see this kid generates energy. So we were encouraging him to let that flow.
-
Absolutely Quotes
They're giving the cover corners an even smaller window than they had before. Now the guys who play hard at the corner get flagged all the time. What players like Hayes and Lewis did so well, steering a receiver with their body, is one of the arts that is now lost. The great cover corner is absolutely rare and special.
-
Ball Quotes
They're getting a complete receiver. He can get off the line of scrimmage in press coverage. He catches the ball at its highest point. He's an excellent downfield blocker. He runs excellent routes and has great hands coming back to the ball. There's no weakness in his game at the receiver position.
