Derek Smith Quotations

We're going to get it right. We're going to fix it. We have to fix it.

We're moving in the right direction. For this defense to become special, we need to eliminate little mistakes here and there. Until that happens, I think we'll just be a good defense. Every game, there's a handful of things that can be a little bit more exact.

We knew we were supposed to do this. This is no surprise to us.

We're at a fork in the road. You have a choice. You can go out and fight or you can lay down.

I don't give a crap about the draft. That's for the front office to figure out. My job is to win.

I don't think so, but whatever. That's just my opinion. I'm not in his body, so I don't know.

I think we're better off without him, absolutely better off without him. I don't think he buys into anything but his own thing.

I think they can get by. You put a bad apple in with a bunch of good apples, and it's just a matter of time before the other apples spoil.

Looking back, I certainly wish the situation hadn't occurred.

I still wouldn't take him on our team.

We provide information service delivery to those hard to reach areas, conduct workshops whereby rural youths learn how to use PCs, draft CVs and business plans, as well as give them advice on how to start up their own businesses.

When I first started here, he seemed like more a team player. But I think toward the end, he really kind of fell off the deep end, if you ask me. He was just kind of in it for himself.

We are committed to meeting the needs of our existing and future customers. We continue to expand and upgrade our network so the solutions we provide our customers exceed their demands today and can help them transition into the future.

Time of possession obviously helps us. We've just got to keep on working.

We are moving into a fast installation program, and we will get an excellent communications system which will bring improvements in the way we run the railway.

Too many of them used to work for the companies we now manage networks for. It's like we already have their permanent record on file.

We've got a lot of pieces moving around right now. But hopefully the pieces that get plugged in will come in and do what they're supposed to do.

It was a 'I don't like you, you don't like me' kind of thing.

Sometimes you have to look at it and say, 'Is this something that's going to affect me later on in life?' You have to weigh your options. You say, 'OK, I want to help my team, but I still want to keep my body intact for later in life.' If the answer to that is yes, then you have to play through.

For an absolute political unknown to come out of nowhere and come from behind in just 12 weeks and win the Republican nomination says this is still the greatest country in the world.

It's always been my dream to win a sectional in basketball. It's a feeling you can't take away.

Donovan McNabb is kind of the symbol for guys who play with pain, but it's hard to distinguish where the line is,

It wasn't a step in the right direction.

I'm sure he'll have something up his sleeve (Sunday). We're going to try and keep him out of there so he doesn't get a chance to showcase his little dance that he's been working on all week. I'm sure he's got something for (Monday night's game), too. He probably gets in front of the mirror every day, (saying) 'This is what I'm going to do this week,' practicing.

He's in a lot of pain. He said he's feeling kind of nauseous. He's going to go out there and give you what he's got, hurt or not hurt. He's going to play with pain and that's just a testament to what kind of guy he is.

I'd love to get a shot on him. I'm sure every defensive player would love to get a shot on him, because he's a premier player. You get a shot on a premier player, it looks good.

I don't like the fact that someone is in there playing dominoes with their friends while we're out there practicing. I didn't like the fact that they're in there sleeping on the rehab table while we're out there practicing, and then they just come out Friday because they think they're that good and they can come out and play.

You could take some good things from today, but the bottom line is we didn't win the game and that's the important thing. We didn't do that.
