Tight Quotations | Page 5

Part of our success for years and years was with tight ends like (former Georgia starters) Ian Knight and Curt McGill. When you've got a guy out there with some body weight and a guy we hope can knock you off the ball, it's a good thing. He's doing a good job. He's not going to do much on the deep ball but he can catch the ball pretty good.

Our opponents will be well aware of him. In tight games, he is capable of breaking the deadlock. He is certainly an additional weapon.

People need that auto and won't stop buying gasoline because of a price rise. We can look forward to another tight summer.

Some of the risks coming through in the labor market in Australia are still very tight and, ultimately, you would expect that to push up wages and then flow through to inflation.

Some of our tight ends have worked in that area.

Some people can go out in a tight, short dress and heels, and it works, but even if I'm going to a club, I've got to throw on a big hoodie or something. And that's if you can get me into something tight in the first place.

That first half was about as crisp offensively as we could probably play. We had a feeling in the locker room before the game that our guys were excited, nervous, tight ? in a good way ? a lot of good things.

Looking at what Notre Dame does, I think they have the complete package. They have everything: They have the run game, they have the offensive line, they have the tight ends, and if you're not doing your assignment on one, they're going to beat you.

Look at the Chiefs and Chargers in our division, they use tight ends big-time in the red zone. We need to do the same thing.

Market operators are aware that the gasoline market will be tight this summer because of the specification changes. The main concern a couple weeks ago was that supply was more than plentiful, but when you look at gasoline stockpiles, they don't reflect the gasoline that will actually be used in summer.

Matt is a versatile player who can either play down as a conventional tight end or align in the slot. He has good speed and is developing strength this winter. He will compete in the spring for one of our two tight-end positions.

Martin said. ''That's the way it looks today. It's a real tight time right now filling Cup seats for '06. I haven't seen it like this in a long time. I think that '07 will be much more free. Somehow or another, everyone in the business was committed for '06.

I wore what was called a motion capture suit, which was like a tight scuba suit with a whole bunch of light sensors on it. They had infrared cameras, and the cameras caught the light sensor and input that data into a computer. And that data was my movement and how the light sensors moved and how they captured the data onto the computer. It was really quite fascinating. I had never done any of that before.

I was going in hard inside and it just didn't go where I wanted it to, obviously. I wanted to get the groundball double play but it didn't turn out that way. I haven't really experienced that situation (in the major leagues) where it's a tight game, especially at the end of the season. I'd like to apply that to my next game.

I was excited with our win over Illinois tonight. This is the first time we have beat a team ahead of us in the rankings. The scores tonight were tight and I think we performed better than last week even if the scores were lower. I am happy with the win.

I was informed in early January that they had eliminated my job. Financially, times are very tight (at the station). We've made some big investments in the Broncos, Oprah Winfrey and the Web site. The way it was explained to me was that the station budget would no longer support a morning sports guy.

It felt tight after the game and as the week rolled on it didn't respond. It didn't recover as we would have liked and while I'm not sure what will happen afterwards, he won't play this week.

I tend to think of it as a macro-economic factor. The economy is growing well, there is really no inflation and the labor market has been tight everywhere, so you start to see some things show up, like the GM labor dispute. Unions get more aggressive.

It feels good to break the ice. I think the kids will loosen up a little bit now. We've been in some tight games lately and it's nice to finally hang in there and get a win.

It felt good yesterday. Toward the end it started to get a little tight on him in the second practice. It's the same as it was the day before. We got to go back to the drawing board here, see how he does today, and then within the next couple days we will see how he's feeling.

It feels good; it's about time. We've been struggling lately, and it feels good to come through in a tight game.

It feels good. But it's a little tight in the back.

It feels good and is kind of a monkey off of our back. We've been fighting hard and playing well, but we couldn't seem to get that first win. They were a little tight pushing a little too hard and it cost us some goals, but they fought back. Once we got behind, we tended to go into a bit of a shell, so hopefully this will be a learning experience and not back off when we get down.

It feels very tight. The last four days it's been getting real tight on me. Massage should take care of it.

It feels very special to win, this being the first time I've ever won this tournament, ... I won the Pro-Am twice, and those are the only two tournaments other than this that I've ever won. So I was pretty nervous heading into the backside. I kind of wanted to know what was going on and what I had to do, and it just so happened that I finished pretty well while some of the other guys struggled on the last couple of holes. That's why the margin of victory was as much as it was. With two holes to play I only had a two-shot lead. So it was tight almost the whole way.

I think our (offensive line) is getting better. We gotta get the ball off and be effective in our pass protection. I think our tight ends are doing a good job in pass protection.

I think everybody was nervous by mid-second. Everyone was tight on their sticks.

It doesn't surprise me to see him doing what he's doing. I think everybody recognizes that he's a talented guy who's a balanced tight end. He's a guy who can run and catch the ball, but he can also block pretty well.

I think I'm probably in the minority that thinks that Greenspan may raise rates on Tuesday. I think the real case is a fact that the labor market is really tight and commodity prices have really increased.

I think he's throwing the ball extremely well and I think he has the confidence of being in a lot of big games, the experience that comes with being in tight ball games, being in two-minute situations, being ahead, being behind, all of the things that you need to learn to be able to learn to be able to control the game and lead your team. I think he's done a great job of that.

I think he ran a huge race. I know Prado was in tight. I rode tight a little bit, but I don't think it bothered him, not at all. When he came out, my horse came out at the same time. But I was clear because he was right behind me. à He's an immature colt, but he's getting better and better.

I think he pitched well. That was a tight strike zone, but a very consistent strike zone. Brandon never let it shake him. He kept his composure, and I thought he did an excellent job.

I think he's going to be as good as any tight end that we've had.

I think fullbacks are being phased out a little bit I think in the whole league. Teams are going to a bigger tailback. A tight end can play our position. I think the fullback is an important role but that's coming from me, a fullback.

I still think he was a little too casual at times. There has to be more urgency when you have to get behind somebody and get tight on somebody.

It didn't feel like a blowout. It was tight for so much of the first quarter. ... We're big, we're strong, we're so well-conditioned. ... I think our depth makes a big difference.

It could well be another week of stabilization and consolidation as the market seeks to hold its own, ... We are likely to see some earnings disappointments. Conversely, we're also likely to see some earnings surprises. I'm looking for a market that stays in a reasonably tight trading side.

It'd be nice to go over there (Plano) and win. But even if we do, we still have six district games left. There's still a tight race going on in our district.

I think it will be tight race. Every conference game is really going to matter.

I think maybe some of the younger guys learned that once all the hype goes away, it becomes a football game. It took about a quarter. For a quarter, things were pretty tight all around and then it becomes a game.

I thought it was a good doubles. Obviously it was very tight and the third set was crucial. After that they got a bit of momentum going into the fourth set but I can't fault the effort or the performance from Greg and Andy. I don't think you can criticize the guys when they give that much.

I think they?re going to call the interference penalties, but I?m not sure it needs to be called as tight as it is right now,

I think they're doing what they can do and we appreciate that. I think they have a timetable that's very tight and having the extra month is terrific. I don't know what else they really could do at this point.

John Nester has served American investors under four chairmen by ably disseminating vital information about complex matters to the media under tight deadlines.

Justin will be evaluated as both a wide receiver and tight end depending on his growth potential once he gets a year under his belt.

It is enjoyable, every match is big and that's the way you like them. It is getting very tight up there and it is going to be like that for the rest of the season.

I think this was one of the best efforts we've had all year. Our girls brought out their 'A' game this weekend. I'm really proud of the way we pulled it out of tight situations. The girls were aggressive and never shied away from hitting.

I'm shooting for the sky, ... There wasn't a tight end that had 80 catches last year, so I'm trying to be on top of the league. But if it's 40 catches and we win 14 or 15 games, then I'm happy. It's not a personal thing because all the personal accolades come when your team is winning anyway. But I'm shooting for 80.

I'm sure Bill said, 'If we stop the run, we have a great chance to win the game because they don't have their All-Pro tight end,'

Maybe I should have used them a bit earlier, ... It was nice just to get through the fifth set. A lot of the games were tight ... and a few just went my way.

Maybe in a tight market when interest rates go up people may not be able to afford as much. You may be stuck with a house a bit more than the market might demand at the time.

Man, it was a rough finish, but we came out and pulled out the win in the end. It's a tight race with us and the Clippers right now and we're just trying to get better each game.

Melissa did a good job, and Ashley threw strikes. 'Both showed a lot of control. If you have good pitching, it will probably be a tight game.

Me in a cape? I don't fancy that. Tight tights? Nah! I don't think that's right for me. I just respond more to true stories; that's my flavour.

We never trailed. We found our heart in this game, we now know we can rely on each other in tight situations.

We live in a world where the laws are getting so tight that management has changed to micro-management to quantum-management to paralysis.

That was the worst one. The skin is real tight and thin there.

That was the difference. We've been coming out tight in the first quarter our last couple of games. We've been having some really good practices so I'm sure we'll turn things around.

That was the big turning point of the game. The score was not very indicative of how close the game was. It was an extremely close game. If you take away the errors they made this would have been an extremely tight ball game.

That was kind of like our offense -- they're expecting run, run, run. That's when the tight ends catch the ball.

That was a match we thought was going to be real tight and we were in it the whole time. It came down the number one and number three doubles.

That's the last thing we need is to see another refinery shut out. We have a tight situation without this storm existing and now you add to this another storm, that could cause financial devastation.

That's what happens when you get Jacob Tamme at tight end. All of a sudden, those other guys don't get quite as many snaps.

I was really encouraged by how the first set went, ... and at the same time, I got a really tight set under my belt. You get nerves whenever a match gets that close, so it was nice to experience that again.

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.

My car has been a little tight the last few races. I'm very encouraged with third. A couple of ticks and we'll be right there.

Most of my playing style is very on point - the tapping, just by nature of being rhythmic, is tight - so I'd like to explore something looser and less precise.

Mike has done a tremendous job over the past two seasons as a graduate assistant on both sides of the ball. His familiarity with and loyalty toward the program make him a great asset to Miami football as he takes over as our tight ends coach.

Michelle's strengths as a player are her accuracy and precision. She has an all court game, plays the ball very tight and can hit winners on open balls. Her excellent footwork and balance allow her to cover the court extremely well, and mentally she is very tough.

We need to protect the passer and run the ball better on offense, but we did make some plays down the field with our tight ends. Defensively, we played pretty well at the point of attack, but gave up some big plays that hurt us.

You have to embrace and welcome the role that you're given. A lot of people on the outside always said to me, 'You need to have statistics to say you're a great player.' I didn't buy into that. The only statistics I looked at were wins and losses. Whether I was catching two passes in a game or clearing the way for Jerome, I just wanted to win. There was a year when I had 18 receptions and six went for touchdowns (in '97). I made plays when I had to. I just don't think you can make a fair judgment on a tight end based solely on numbers. I'm sure Heath feels the same way about this, because from what I've heard, he's an unselfish kid who wants to be a winner.

You have to do as much as you possibly can. It just helps your stock. Every little thing extra you can do, special teams, long snapping, fullback, tight end, it makes you multidimensional. The key is to get them to want to lose you less.

you don't change an offensive tackle or a center or a tight end and get a spark.

You knew it was going to be tight tonight. We played well again tonight and they played well, too. It was like it was a playoff game out there.

You just have to be aware of where he is on the ice at all times. Everybody knows what he is capable of doing. You have to be tight and physical with him.

You just can't fall apart like that; you've got to stay tight the whole five innings, or however many innings you're playing. They know that and we just got a little lax there at the end. They know that when I yell they didn't do the job that last inning.

You bring it over and hold it tight and take 5 and 6 together in one big arc.

Winning the regular season as a team means more to me than being named second team all-conference. We're a tight knit bunch of guys. Hopefully we get to wear the tournament ring this season as well.

We continue to talk about getting the ball to the tight end. And that's the plan each week. Some weeks are easier than others.

We continue to see a limited increase in nickel production, leading to tight nickel supplies expected for the balance of 2006.

We can't get all tight because we haven't scored that many runs or whatever. It's just three games. Obviously today was not what we want the rest of the season to be like so you just try to turn the page on this one pretty quick.

We'll be really tight by the time we get down there to you guys. Everyone will have a really good time. It's trite to say thanks to the fans, but we really mean it. We look forward to rocking everyone's socks off.

We drew up a plan and our guys really pulled it off, ... I am really proud of them. We did a great job playing our defensive roles. We had great opportunities on set pieces. In a tight game like this, that's how you have to score a goal. This was a great team effort.

We're all pretty close friends, a tight little bunch. If we had to go up there, we wouldn't mind. We would make that the meeting place. It was understood that Lorenzo had to take care of his responsibilities.

We put one of our quickest kids in at tight end and (the Falcons) all bit on that. (Shue) flew right down the middle of the field. It was a great call by Curt. It was a great throw and catch.

We do need to find another playmaker on offense, whether it's the tight end or who it is. Or teams are just going to quadruple-cover Bowser.

You almost have to keep up the pace of winning. It's tight right through the conference. We need to win five out of six games every two weeks.

Yolanda is relentless in anything she does. We knew that she wasn't going to let us lose. We needed to go through her. Every time we were in a tight situation, she was always going to pull us out, whether it was defense or offense. She has been there, and she's done it.

Yolanda is relentless in anything she does, ... We knew that she wasn't going to let us lose. We needed to go through her. Every time we were in a tight situation, she was always going to pull us out, whether it was defense or offense. She has been there, and she's done it.

We encouraged them to come back instead of getting them down and holding them down like you would like. I'd like to have the last 3 or 4 minutes over. We got a little tight with the ball, and I was encouraging them to attack.

We really want to make this the best place in America for tight ends to play.

We have some experience and I think that took over in a tight game and we were able to relax at that point and kind of just get back to focus.

We have been tight with our sticks. Tonight, we played like we know we can.

We have been through so much together. None of us are from London and we're living away from our friends and family. We only have each other and that's what has made us so tight - that's why we have to remain as a five.

Well, it's really important. We wanted to win here tonight, but Kyle got a great restart there. Congratulations to Kyle Busch and that whole Hendrick team. Those guys have been coming on a win for a long time and it's exciting for your first win. It was just a great job by the guys in the pits. We put spring rubbers in and adjusted the heck out of that race car tonight - from tight to loose to just can't drive it. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody in the gulf coast and all the National Guard folks down there helping everybody. I know there were a lot of soldiers called to duty to go down there and we're just thinking about all of them.

We played really well as a team. I was really proud of them for being aggressive and not getting tight like we have before in those type games.

We must see how much of that offshore gas gets back up and how cold the winter is. It's going to be very tight to see whether we have enough natural gas for the winter.

When you're in this tight a budget, it becomes very difficult as a family, ... Finances are one of the major disagreements among couples, and especially young couples, today.

When you're in a tight game like that, you really have to concentrate on the guard play.

We had it scored out quite a bit closer. We thought the girls would be a real tight meet. We stepped up.
