Norv Turner Physical Quotations

He gives us a physical presence we like,

I thought we did a lot of things in a physical manner. We defended the run well.

We knew the hardship of going to New England, playing right after the (roster) cuts, getting less time to prepare than other teams, the travel and all that. The other side is we get more time to prepare for the next game, from a mental and a physical standpoint. We've got to make the most of it.

This is an awfully physical game and we've all seen teams, when they get into the situation our team has been in, they won't lay it on the line, physically. These guys have not backed off. Our guys have not backed off. In the fourth quarter, they're hitting, tackling, pounding in there. Zack's fighting and it means a lot to me to see them continue to compete that way. We have one more chance. We have a chance to win a game next Saturday. That's what our focus will be on.

The biggest thing is he brings a physical presence. He did an excellent job in the run game, an excellent job in pass protection. ... He is a young guy that I think is going to grow and become a very good player.

He's an outstanding football player. I mean, he's a physical guy that brings it. He's a competitive guy. In that game, he looked to me like he misjudged the player's speed. He was in good position, and just didn't take account of his speed. That, unfortunately, happens to guys in this league. But he's one of the better safeties in the league.

He's a physical player and he makes things happen, ... I'm trying to make the most of my opportunity and have some fun with my teammates.

He's a physical presence. He had an outstanding camp. Both are gonna play, but we feel a physical presence that Ron brings.
