David Thornton Quotations

Nutrition is becoming more and more important to all athletes as far as performance level, ... At this level, it's very serious. The type of food you put into your body can enhance your performance or dehance it. If you want to be the best athlete you can be, you want to be as lean as you can be. The leaner athlete is the better athlete.

Having renegotiated the deal down, I think BT will find it very hard to justify having to pay up again in order to win MCI, ... This is certainly a big blow for BT's strategic aims and what they're trying to do with MCI in terms of their plans to grow the business globally.

I was just doing what you're supposed to do when you get a turnover, and that's go from defense to offense. I won't say I was targeting him. He was just the guy in the way.

Robert will always be in the shadow of Dwight because Dwight is clearly a difference-maker. But he's not like a mini-Dwight, he's like another Dwight.

We know they're looking forward to coming out and beating us. And what a great win it would be for them if they did beat us. Any time you're 0-5, a win helps cure the pain.

When a quarterback has happy feet, when he has to make a quicker decision than he wants to, he'll make choices he doesn't really want to. That creates turnovers for the defense.

We want to continue to build on the positive things of the past. We've played well, but not good enough to get to the Super Bowl, ... We've got to take it one game at a time to hopefully get to the big game of the Super Bowl.

We were there to support him. And he ended up supporting us. It was a very emotional moment. There was joy in the room. He seemed relieved to see us, and we were so happy to see him and the way he was being a tower of strength for his family.

Corey Simon can help us out a lot. He's a veteran to provide leadership and a big man who can plug things up in the middle, ... He'll help with the run defense and put pressure on the quarterback.

You respect him because he's a man of integrity and a man of faith. He treats guys as professionals, and I personally admire him for his intellect of football, the way he teaches guys.

It's a good challenge. I doubt they'll back off. Most of the time in the preseason, you want to establish chemistry, and they've been pretty successful doing what they're doing.

It's on such a grand scale, ... We thought, 'What little we could do, we should do.'

It was amazing to see the strength that Coach Dungy showed throughout the whole day - just being there for his family. We were there to support him, but it ended up being him supporting us. His message to the whole team for guys to be stronger, to be bolder and have faith, be better role models. It was very encouraging for a lot of guys. They're still talking about it today.

It was like a sigh of relief. He gave everyone a big hug. He didn't have a chance to do that the other day when we came down. But he hugged everyone. He was so excited to be back with his family, his football family. Everyone is so happy for him. We're still supporting him.

It was like a sigh of relief. He gave everyone a big hug.

Anytime they can sustain a drive, that's not working in our favor. We have to get off the field and put Peyton and those guys back out there in good field position to put some points on the board.

I'm excited about them coming out to support me again. Everybody who came had a positive and enlightening experience, ... They ride 12 or 13 hours on a bus to support me, and hopefully we can continue to do it each year. It means a lot to me to know Goldsboro is still following me and supporting me in my pro career.

I'm pretty sure they'd rather run the ball the whole game.

I think now the guys have been in the system for a few years, they know it better and they trust the system. The young guys have definitely brought some excitement and energy, and we know we have the talent to get the job done.
