Sideline Quotations | Page 2

It's a guessing game. You've prepared for some guys, then all of a sudden they release them. Then you have to prepare for some new guys. You have the unknown. Obviously, every team is going to have some new wrinkle. What is that wrinkle? ... You just have to be prepared to get to the sideline and adjust.

It makes no sense. Why is it that the No. 1 position of leadership and decision-making on a football team can be occupied by a person of color but the person on the sideline can't?

It's really nice. I'm sorry Kelly Meek wasn't on the sideline to make it more enjoyable. But a win's a win and we need it. We needed to win here tonight to keep us battling for the league championship and to let people know we can still play with anybody.

That's something we got to work on. It's been two games in a row that we allowed a team to come back. It made it a little too exciting, which I guess is fun for everybody else. But it stinks for us. I know a lot of people on the sideline were biting their fingernails a little bit.

Everyone on our sideline was elated when Steve scored. He challenged them at the goal line and got in. He had a lot of impetus, too, from all those guys who were standing on the sideline behind him.

It looked ridiculous. Honestly, I am sitting on the sideline saying, 'We look like idiots.' Especially when they would go up and get an offensive rebound.

It was more than a sideline thing or a novelty. It was a relationship.

Not having Coach Dungy on the sideline was definitely different. Coach Caldwell did a great job, though. But it was kind of surreal, everything that's gone on the last few days.

It's working that way, and, hopefully, if I can stay healthy toward the end of the year, it's a big plus for us, ... That's the fun part, to be able to go out there and still contribute. To be on the sideline all those weeks, it was frustrating, so it was good to go back out there and pound the ball and show people it was still there.

It's very hard. You see the score and you want to slack up. But you can't because Cal is on the sideline getting after you. He wants the intensity up at all times. I can see why, but it's pretty hard to stay focused.

I try to keep that game out of my mind as much as possible, but as you can imagine, it's a big part of the tradition here. It wasn't until I had been on the sideline as the Bills coach two or three times that I quit thinking about it.

It was horrible. It's not a good feeling to be sitting on the sideline and you see your team losing and you know you should be out there doing something for them.

It was great underneath coverage. Once I saw the tip, I went for it and got it. I saw the sideline open up and I took it.

Once that first drive was over, everybody went to the sideline and just calmed down a little bit. I was cussing at myself. But everyone got their focus back, and we just came out and executed a lot better.

Sky Hicks was the man for them tonight. He was moving forward the whole game. The kickoff return hurt us. We planned on kicking it near the sideline to pin them in, but he found a seam.

The key to not allowing the rejection to sideline you is to understand that it is not personal. They are not rejecting Sabrina, the person. They are rejecting the blonde 6-foot-tall girl who isn't quite what they're looking for this day, at this casting, for this client, in this market.

I'm going to have to go buy a pair of black leather pants so I can storm up and down the sideline as well as Evelyn did while she was here. She got into the game as good as anyone I've ever seen and it showed through her winning.

I kept telling the guys on the sideline the defense would get the ball back for us,

I love him. He's probably one of the favorite coaches that I've had. He's the type of person I want coaching me. He's not too uptight. He's not in your face. He enjoys other things instead of just football. He's very good on the sideline if things are going wrong and people are freaking out.

I never believed people saying he wasn't a pocket passer. I saw first-hand from the sideline that year when he came up to Green Bay and basically sat in the pocket and picked us apart.

I'm sure if I had called him I'd have gotten some sideline passes, ... But there's a difference between just going there and being welcomed.

I like his energy level. During the course of that Iowa game, the more he ran, the more he wanted it. He would run by the sideline and say, 'Get me the ball again.' You love to see that.

I'm on the sideline trying to get mentally ready, trying to be by myself. It's one of those moments where you know what's coming. You know it's going to come. You just have to win the coin toss.

I'm on the sideline and (secondary coach) Bob Slovik is in my face. He's telling me I've got to get in there - as a cornerback.

I'm on the sideline and (secondary coach) Bob Slovik is in my face,

I'm only going to have one question for him, and it has nothing to do with Hurricane Katrina. How in the hell can a head coach pull out a cell phone on the sideline and not get fined and a player can pull out a cell phone and get fined $30,000?

I had no idea about that streak, ... I know they were all real happy on the sideline when I (scored).

I really think we're going to do something special here. I don't want to be on the sideline watching it when it happens.

I love playing with these guys. To be on the sideline is going to be tough.

I really respect what Bob Shaffer does up there with that program. They really fill up their sideline with players every year.

In that case, it would have worked against us if they had reversed the call. I'm in favor of replay, and anything to help officials get it right. But I'm sure we will disappointed on the sideline at times, and there will be plays that go against us.

By the time I was ready to go (back in), Willie (Parker) was running down the sideline (45 yards). They didn't need me.

Buyers are on strike! There's some significant money sitting on the sideline waiting to see when we'll establish a bottom. We tried a couple of times during the day to hit bottom and failed,

He's very much in control. He's the calmest guy on our sideline as far as I can tell, and that's the mark of a good quarterback and a good leader for your offense. He's always got it under control.

He's made a couple of great pass defends that show his range out on the field. He is the type of player that as a middle linebacker, he goes from sideline to sideline for us.

I couldn't go back to the sideline with a safety on the board facing coach Groh. So there was no way ... I would've thrown it in the stands before they took me down.

I cannot charge $80, $90, $100-dollars for a sideline seat. I must charge in this area what the community can bare.

You could be playing catch with somebody on the side ? one of the managers ? and you drop the ball, we're going to be running on the sideline after practice.

The emotion we had Saturday was probably an all-time high from what I've seen before. When you're on the field and you look over to the sideline after a play and everybody's going crazy, that type of emotion is what we need each game. It sparks the way we play.

The entrepreneurial approach is not a sideline at 3M. It is the heart of our design for growth.

The game plan is different with him, to take advantage of his speed. I don't know if there's another running back in the league who can get down the sideline as fast as he does.
