Al Groh Line Quotations

Everybody knows that quality play is based on line play. On our offensive line, we've lost 60 percent of our offensive line. Those three players are 60 percent of the line that played the better part of 3 ? to four seasons for us.

Brad crossed the line and for that he must take accountability, ... We have talked in detail and he has assured me that his actions on the play at issue were a result of over-aggressiveness and over-exuberance to block a challenging opponent and without malice. His intent was to take the player to the ground, not to inflict injury. In any case, we regret that the incident occurred and apologize to Mathias.

If the offensive line or secondary is not what the coordinator is coaching, that's something he's always got his eye on, ... Most of the adjustments that are made in a game are in the secondary.

The first thing with corner is raw cover skills. That's what corners have to do. Nobody is as isolated on the field as the corners, other than the guy across the line from them.

Football is the most intense and physical of all games. Because it is so, all of us who have the privilege to participate should have the utmost respect for the game itself and for fellow players and coaches. On Saturday, Brad crossed the line in adhering to that standard, and for that he must take accountability.
