Sometimes blocking pucks doesn't feel real good. But that's something he does, and it's something that's contagious with his teammates.

Teams have been blocking him for three or four years now. He always has to take on a blocker - a tackle, a guard, a back. He has a rush plan just like a defensive end, and he takes it personally.

Right now we don't know if he came out of the home and went back in or just never made it out. We're trying to determine just what occurred. We do know that when our firefighters tried to get into the home through the front door they were met by burning debris that was blocking the door.

Our defense is gaining a reputation. People are saying 'What can we do?' because we're going to alter a shot if we're not blocking it.

England and France are blocking it but they follow the flawed soccer model.

Ever since then, it's been like clockwork. He's been throwing great, the line's been blocking great, and I've just been running my routes.

There's no doubt the blocking is improved. Drew wasn't even touched on that 64-yard run. That means a lot of people did their job, from the line to people down-field.

This Trojan isn't trying to steal money or confidential information, but acting as a moral guardian instead, blocking viewing of sites it determines are unsavory,

This year the umpires have been instructed to actively police tagging, blocking and any contact in marking contests not directly aimed at winning the ball.

This year to last year, it's a big difference. We've got more combo blocking and stuff like that. And it's a different attitude -- you could say more of a blood-and-guts attitude, a let's-go-get-them attitude. Last year, we were kind of passive.

We had a tough time blocking them. We had a tough time tackling them. We didn't do a good job as coaches. We didn't do a good job as players.

They were jumping over us. We weren't blocking out.

Younger running backs who aren't as confident in their blocking ability will line up closer to the quarterback if it's a pass play. If it's a running play, they'll line up fairly deep.

After that, they planned to start seizing official buildings, and start blocking railway lines with the aim of completely paralyzing the state.

I've got everything, ... The only thing I have that he doesn't is I come down and hit you in the mouth when I take on a block. He doesn't really care about doing that too much. I say you keep hitting that guy blocking you and blowing him up, they won't want to do it anymore. They'll slide away and say, 'Oops, I missed the block.' They didn't want to get it upside the head.

I'm sure that might intimidate some, but I'm hoping that once we have an array of people blocking that hate out of the air, the students will feel welcome and go in without that intimidation.

I know they're an excellent team. (They have an) inside-outside game; lots of length; lots of ability. They're men underneath, and we have to combat that by playing smart, blocking out and taking five guys to the defensive glass.

In education, we're in the same boat with advertising and media-services companies that can't blindly turn off video streaming because it's essential to their business. It's not about blocking video but about managing content.

If there's to be a call-to-action by Congress, from a technology standpoint, it should be focused on making sure detection technology being used overseas is up to the task. This would make global trade much more secure than blocking a business transaction here in the U.S.

I'm a big, physical guy, so you've got to do what you can do to play to your strengths, ... I have fun hitting people. I have fun blocking for Ted (Ginn Jr.) on bubble screens and Antonio (Pittman) on running plays. It's something I have to do.

I'm just happy to run for my team. I was running hard because they're blocking so hard for us.

I love making plays. Whether it's hitting somebody across the middle, getting a 'pick' and going back scoring, or blocking a kick. Whatever it takes to help a team, that's what I'll do.

If you don't get your touches, there's other ways to be productive for us. That's on the defensive end, blocking shots, running the floor like a thoroughbred. If you run the floor, you have a guy that's willing and able to pass you the ball and reward you for running the floor. Those types of things.

I intentionally aided them by being there and blocking an avenue of escape for the victims.

I'm really comfortable at either position. The guard and the center communicate every play. They basically have the same blocking schemes. Regardless of which one I play, I feel comfortable and ready to play.

Stripping the puck, blocking shots and making quick passes up ice are more the things he brought to our program.

That got us out of a hole. We had some good blocks by Devin Hudson, Brandon Casteel and T.J. Casteel to spring him. All of our running backs ran hard. Our lead blockers, linemen and tight ends did a great job of blocking at the point of contact.

The blocking on that set up possibly the most amazing run I ever had. Our receivers and our whole left side of the line just stepped it up and it was great communication between them.

The blocking up front is amazing, ... This is the tightest group of kids I have ever coached.

The blocks were huge. I've always thought that blocking is such a big part of the game. They (the other team) starts thinking about it and it throws them off their game.

The biggest thing for us, like always, will be blocking up front, ... We've changed a few things and we'll have a few new wrinkles.

Everybody was on the same page. The receivers ran good routes, the guys did a good job of blocking and it clicked. We started going five wide and they couldn't stick with our receivers.

The biggest thing is that, the reason we've had trouble running the ball so far, is that we keep going against three down linemen fronts. And that's just different. It's unorthodox. It's a whole new different set of blocking schemes. (Tulane) runs what we do, four down linemen. And it's just so much more natural. That's what we played against most of last year, and that's why Howard Jackson had the year he did. Because that's what we were used to and it's just basic blocking.

It's real frustrating. I got two blocking calls I didn't think were blocks. It's just frustrating, that's all. I really don't have anything else to say about it.

It's really basic stuff at this point that they have to learn to do better. It's one-on-one, combination blocking stuff that they have to do.

All my linemen were blocking right, they did their job. I'm just really proud (of them).

Danny does all the dirty work. He's the guy who's out there blocking linebackers and defensive linemen ... Danny is a true fullback in every sense of the word. He's like an offensive lineman in the backfield. He's a guy who has been there for (us) week in and week out. He doesn't say a lot.

Danny is taking advantage of the opportunities that he's been given. He's provided some very good defensive stability behind home plate. His receiving and his blocking and his throwing has been a marked improvement over anything that we've really had here in a long time.

The officers are not overriding the timing of the lights, they're merely enforcing the rules. All it takes is one car or pedestrian blocking the intersection and everything goes to pot.

The next game I blew it on blocking out. So I worked on getting rebounds. That was the goal.

Congressman Souder wants to decrease drug abuse but encourages it by blocking peoples' access to education. Federal studies show that these efforts do not work. They're hurting our economy and society.

Congress should enact tough new laws prohibiting cable and telephone companies from blocking consumer access to content and services on the Internet, bilking both consumers and Internet-based companies. If they don't, these big companies will use their market power to line their pockets by discriminating against competitors in favor of their own content and service offerings.

I want the team to do well. If that means me catching five balls in a game, that's fine. If it means me blocking well, that's fine.

Their players do a good job blocking shots, which always helps the team.

Those EU member states who talk up their contribution to development are now blocking the most significant steps the global community could take in years to create new opportunities for the world's poorest countries.

The key to the game for us will be blocking their blitzes. We're going to have to step it up on defense. Hopefully, we can get everything together. We need a confidence builder.

They did a good job of blocking the run and getting us in defenses where our secondary guy was the cutback player,

They did a good job of really attacking the offensive boards. We maybe didn't do such a good job of blocking them out.

It's disappointing that we haven't got (the running game) going. But I can feel it in practice lately; I know we're going to get better. We noticed in the first two games that it was always one guy who didn't get his block or who let up too soon on a play. We've got to make sure everybody's blocking somebody this week. We expect it out of ourselves.

They blitzed their safeties a lot in the first half. I got great blocking and good holes from the offensive line.

I guess you could say that Courtney is a jack of all trades. He can block, he can catch. Flem is ... the blocking tight end and I'm the receiving guy.

In a 4-3 you know exactly who you've got, you've got one man and you're going to be basically blocking him. In a 3-4 you could have the tackle some time, you could get a linebacker some time or a defensive end who is standing. They'll throw a lot more looks and a lot more mixes at you in a 3-4.

In preseason games, he's out there going down and blocking shots, ... He's not an imposing figure as far as size goes, but he plays like it. ... He goes in the corner and he's taking the hit. He's done that. That's rare for a guy with the talents that he has, to still fight in the corner and do what he does.

I think Ali's going to have to play real big in this game coming off the bench. You should always make sure you come off the bench with a lot of aggression. In past games she's been amazing. She's always the poster child in blocking shots, so I definitely think that's going to be a big thing.

It has gone into a blocking pattern, areas of high pressure that get locked into place. There is one locked into place over the North Pacific. It's like a train wreck; nothing goes anywhere. It causes the whole circulation to stay in place. The whole hemisphere is tied into it; it explains why it is still dry in Texas.

It helps. I cant tell you how much it helps. Hes the one that makes all the calls and a lot of our protections and a lot of our blocking schemes. We have two, three, maybe four plays called in the huddle. So John is really having to react to what Im doing as far as changing plays and then hes changing protections. Hes changing running plays and assignments. Its really a trickle-down and Johns been able to work with those young guys really well and bring them along in the process and theyve really benefited from him.

His head was on the rim, blocking like 10 shots a game and hitting 3-point jumpers. It's very rare for someone like him to be overlooked. It's not like he was in Idaho or Montana. He was in Indianapolis.

In the second half we weren't blocking as well up front.

I really need to work on my blocking skills. Other than that, I feel pretty good. I think I see things well and have good hands to catch the ball. I just want to stay focused on what I'm doing here.

I really don't pay that much attention to stats and stuff, but I do take a lot of pride in trying to be a complete player. I just try to do whatever I can to help us win games, whether it's scoring points, rebounding, blocking shots, passing, playing great defense, whatever it takes.

I haven't seen Bradley play but we've heard a lot about them. We know they shoot the ball real well and they're very athletic and rebound well. We've got to really work on blocking out and limiting their second chances to give us more chances on the other end.

If you watch him enough, it comes through - the way he tips through at the rims, like blocking a volleyball. He's got great instincts.

He's seen a lot, and he's going to see more. The better you are, the more challenging blocking schemes you're going to see.

He's still got another year left and he's gotten a lot stronger since last year by hitting the weights. He's about 210 pounds, which is about 15 pounds more than last year. He's starting to assert himself as one of the best big men in the City.... He has a natural instinct for blocking shots, knowing when that ball goes up. He gets off the ground pretty quickly. In his mind, he wants to block every shot. He's such a fierce shot-blocker. He makes the shooter think every time they come in his area, every time.

Hopefully, by then, President Bush and his majority leader will have found the backbone to stop the extreme elements of the Republican Party from blocking improvements to America's security.

He's very much like a Shannon Sharpe-type of player. When you look at his pass-catching ability, it's unbelievable. But now, blocking is something that he needs to develop.

I played fullback my junior year and tailback my senior year. It was a power-I offense. I was blocking back then. That's all we did. It's a whole lot better getting to run the ball.

I don't think (Johnson) will affect our roles. The tight ends' roles are blocking first. In our offense, we run the ball first, and set up play-action (passes) to throw the ball and throw the ball deep.

I didn't see the stop sign at all, and then I didn't see that (Barajas) was blocking the plate until it was too late. If I slide, maybe it's a one-run game.

I didn't think our guards did a very good job of blocking out. There were a couple of key situations in the game where our guards didn't even attempts to block out.

I don't know if you ever fool anyone, but you give them different wrinkles and you give them things that may look like something you've run before and you actually run something different out of it, ... It still comes down to executing and going out and blocking and tackling and running a route and throwing and guys making plays.

He's intriguing to us because he's very athletic. But we were so thin in the offensive line and we wanted him to learn the elements of blocking before switching him, again.

He's the closest thing to Randy Moss, but he's bigger and faster. When he's not catching the ball, he's out there blocking on every play. I don't know Randy Moss. I don't want to say anything bad about him. But I think he takes some plays off. Not Calvin. He's a humble guy and he gives it everything he's got, even in practice.

He's really gone to the next level, he's much more mature and he's blocking a lot better.

He's really running the ball well. If he could get the blocking part right, he could really play a whole lot for us.

He?s really worked on his blocking this year. He?s come up with some huge plays. He comes from an athletic background.

He's an extremely intelligent guy who picked up the system. And a big part of that is pass protection. That's the No. 1 thing. Can you pick up our scheme and the blocking we're doing? Because before you can do anything, before you can carry the football, you have to protect the quarterback. That's No. 1.

He's an older player. A veteran player and I think he'll help us in the run blocking and pass protection.

He's a mean dude. He'll attack you. You don't have to worry about him holding the flank and blocking for our receivers. I'll tell you what, he's the best without the football we've had. When he doesn't have the ball, he's a raving maniac, and you don't see that too much in the NFL.

He's the kind of runner that if you let him get out in the open, he's very elusive in the open field. He has also gotten good blocking from his line. We're looking to stop him first and with any luck make them beat us somewhere else.

He's the sixth man of the year because when he comes in he gives 110 percent. When the other guys get in foul trouble or need a break, he does the job for us blocking shots, getting rebounds, tip-ins, doing all the right things.

Things change from one coach to another and from one system to another and we had a lot of success (14-2) on the field, ... Sometimes when you have the whole team succeeding, everything clicks and things go well. In 2000, Mark Brunell had a lot of confidence in me as a receiver and he just started looking my way. Jimmy Smith went down in a couple of games and he (Brunell) just started spraying it to me. I think those couple of games kind of changed the perception that I could do a little more to help the team than just being a blocking tight end. It was very satisfying to me and nice to have that type of opportunity because my goal at all levels was to be a good all-around player.

It was just one of those nights where things just worked out, the timing was there, the blocking was there, it's very unusual that something like this happens, but it did and we're real happy for him. William deserves everything he gets out there and I'm sure he'll tell you the offensive line takes the credit for his offense and also the returns go to the special teams.

It was growing exponentially. Our only option was blocking it. There hasn't been a problem since.

The second half, something just wasn't right. We just weren't in sync. We weren't blocking out (for rebounds) and we couldn't get a shot to drop for us.

They've put him on some new medicine, so we hope he's going to be OK now. Even though he's not near 100 percent, you could tell the difference the other night when we put him in the game in terms of blocking and altering shots.

They will run a 4-4, ... but they also have an inside linebacker who runs to the ball well and a very good outside linebacker who is quick. We have to do a good job of blocking people at the point of attack. Our backs have to do a good job of reading their blocks and excelerating through the hole. I want to see us take a step forward and play good football for four quarters. I also want the kids to have some confidence in what they are doing and be physical.

They were very fair with the money in the deal. Marvin approached me at the Senior Bowl and said we needed to move on this deal, and that's what happened. Bobbie likes the team, he likes the situation and he likes playing for (offensive line coach) Paul Alexander. This blocking system fits Bobbie; he's a mauler-type and that's what they ask of him.
