Charlie Adams Quotations

I'm a little more confident and comfortable this year. This time of year I'm trying to make every play.

He worked hard every day. He didn't take any days off, he didn't take any plays off. That's how he did it. He never took the easy way out.

I think we have to keep the proper perspective on high school sports. Sometimes, sports can seem like a runaway train, so we have to remind our student-athletes that education comes first, and that you have to be a good sport to play and a good citizen.

Rod doesn't take anything for granted. He's out there playing like every play is his last play.

People keep waiting for the big blow-up. That's not gonna happen.

I think everybody knows, at least everybody who is on the bubble, so to speak. All you can do is do everything you possibly can every time you get a chance to make it a hard decision for them. When you get the opportunity, you just want to give them reasons to keep you around.

Just how to work, ... He's out there working every day. He never wants to come out of the game. You've got to pull him out of the game. If he's tired, he doesn't want to ever come out. It's little things that people don't notice, but that's why he's the player he is -- because he doesn't take the easy way, he always does the extra mile.

We picked a bad day to have a bad game. Now we have to live with it.

Offense, defense, special teams, he doesn't care. If he sees something he doesn't like, he's going to definitely let you know about it. You've got to have guys like that on your team.

Any points are good points. It's when we come away with nothing that's more disappointing. But we'll turn those threes into sevens and turn things around in a positive way. It's nothing we're dwelling on. But it's something we have to get turned around and fix as we move on with the season.

They drill it in our head that special teams could determine the outcome of the game.

You don't start out working to get into one, and you never really think about it, really. It's so far in the distance when you have your daily priorities, but it's nice to be considered. It's part of the journey. My only regret is that it comes at the tail end of my career.

They're playing with a lot more confidence now. They're flying around, finding the football.

It's a lot of hard work and perseverance finally paying off. When I first got up here in Greeley, it looked like I was going to be the first one gone and never coming back, ... But they saw something they liked and they stuck with me and gave me a bunch of opportunities to prove myself. And finally it's coming to pass that what they thought about me was right and that I can play in this league and be a player on this team.

It's great to just play with Rod. He's an inspiration to everyone out here, especially guys like me who've struggled to stay in the league.

It was great just to be able to play with him. Just because of what he brought with him. I was happy to have played with him.

Every time we try to move a piece of furniture, it just falls apart.

Every week here is a new challenge. Coaches want to see consistency and not ups and downs.

I kind of expected it after the budget issue and all the building projects, but I was kind of disappointed still.

I know as long as I continue to play how I can play that I'll be OK, ... No one's ever safe. I know that and it's not a thing where I'm complacent or relaxed. But if I focus on what I'm doing every game, every play, I'll be all right.

I didn't see any signs of anything being wrong. He was as gracious as ever in his closing comments to the crowd, and his speech was fine.

He's an inspiration to everyone out here, especially guys like me who've struggled to stay in the league. He's a great person to model yourself after.

The last three or four years we've always started out 4-1 or 5-1 and then things happen and we're 5-3 or 6-4 and we don't win the close games that we're winning right now.
