Blocking Quotations | Page 5

They were bigger than us but we knew that we had to push to the basket. We had to go strong and not worry about them blocking our shots. When we did, we drew fouls and wound up going to the line.

They bear full responsibility for blocking it and I am sure the Muslim communities right across Britain will take very careful note of that.

They have to really be on their toes, ... The outfielders have to charge balls, the catcher's got to be wary of blocking balls, pitchers have to pick at the corners, and when they pick, that means throwing more pitches.

They have to really be on their toes. The outfielders have to charge balls, the catcher's got to be wary of blocking balls, pitchers have to pick at the corners, and when they pick, that means throwing more pitches.

They look at me as an individual player. What am I doing on a run play? Am I blocking for the running back? What am I doing at safety? Am I just jogging up to the play?

They weren't doing a great job of blocking her out. We mentioned to her early on that she could have a really great rebounding night.

It's a mistake. People are going to make mistakes. He obviously did a good job blocking it out.

Anything you need her to do, she'll do. Even on the court at practice, in drills. We got permission for that from the medical staff. She can be on the court as long as her heart rate doesn't get up there. She likes getting out there and blocking everyone's shots.

A police car and an SUV were blocking the road. The police officer boarded the bus and said to the team, 'It's days like this that make me proud to be a police officer in Trafford.' He then offered a police escort to the high school to recognize what we had accomplished.

Ann got the game ball tonight. She did great getting rebounds, communicating, blocking out and rotating on the ball.

As far as getting the ball, I don't have so much pride where I have to have the ball or it's like, 'Get me the ball,' ... It will come when it comes and when I do get my opportunities I have to make plays. At the same I have to do other things as far as blocking or clearing out a route so that someone else can get open. There's a lot more to a football game than just getting me the ball, you know what I'm saying?

The bottom line is that we just didn't do a very good job of blocking people. We didn't execute.

The bottom line is this is not what we bought into when we came to Atlanta. If we would have known Peerless was going to play a blocking receiver role and not a vertical wide receiver, we wouldn't have gone in that direction. But it was a situation where the Falcons organization went through a changing of the guard, and Peerless got caught in that situation and it didn't coincide with his talent.

The group that's blocking the entrance is totally illegal. We've ask the authorities to help end this issue.

The city told me I need to move my boat. I don't know why. My yard is well maintained, and I am not blocking any sidewalks.

The guys worked really hard to get out and contest shots, and we did a much better job of blocking out. We got off to a good start, which is always important. We're just happy to come away with a win.

The guy that has been on a mission here is Ben. They might as well take the Defensive Player of the Year trophy and send it here for the fourth time, because when you look at all the things he's doing - defensive rebounding, blocking shots, steals - he's just doing everything.

The guys did a good job blocking shots. Everybody was putting their bodies on the line.

The guys in front of me have been playing unreal lately just diving and blocking shots. They say in the dressing room they're organ donors.

The guys in front of me have been unreal lately. Just blocking shots, as we say in the locker room, organ donating. Everybody is just all out and you can't say enough about the guys in front of you.

Their linebackers did a good job of blocking the middle, so we had the option to kick it out,

Their offensive line comes off the ball, and I didn't know if we could handle them. They did a good job of blocking last year, and we couldn't stop them. We stopped them on offense.

The first quarter our girls did everything right and we were only down by one. After that, for some reason, we just forgot how to play basketball. We stopped playing defense and stopped blocking out. If we had just played four quarters like (the first), it would be a different story.

Their big guy was blocking shots and he did a nice job of hanging around and making us change our shots a bit.

The key reason why the six-party talks have not made substantial progress is that the United States remains unchanged in its hostile policy toward the DPRK, blocking the settlement of the nuclear issue.

You could tell he was frustrated. It never stopped him from working hard, blocking shots, talking out on the ice, leading by example for the younger guys. He kept a positive attitude and was actually making light of it for a while, but I'm glad he loosened up, and I'm glad to see he's broken the slump.

It's a lot more fun to run block than it is to pass block, because pass blocking you're kind of sitting back there letting the guys run right at you. Run blocks, you're kind of taking more of the initiative. It was fun.

It's a lot of, frankly, unexciting basic blocking and tackling. From an information security perspective, we have to make sure we have an understanding of what information is where and how it's protected, and make sure agencies responsible for data believe in the controls that are in place.

It just amazes me that AOL can be so intransigent. AOL Instant Messenger is the industry standard. It's used by millions of people.... It would be in their best interest to see that everyone else adopts their instant messaging standards. All they're doing by blocking traffic is encouraging people to have their own instant messaging clients.

It just amazes me that AOL can be so intransigent, ... AOL's Instant Messenger is the industry standard. It's used by millions of people . . . It would be in their best interest to see that everyone else adopts their instant messaging standards. All they're doing by blocking traffic is encouraging people to have their own instant messaging clients.

It's more of a passing offense, instead of lining up and blocking most of the time, ... It's made for me.

It still all comes down to blocking and tackling. The kids are excited. They're showing up and doing what they need to do.

It's a lot different than last year. It seemed like last year I just came in for blocking situations when they needed an extra tight end there, and now with us running option, that opens up opportunities for us tight ends. So every opportunity we get, we're going to try to take advantage of that.

It is too early to determine the final stake of the government in the new entity but it will in no case be lower than a blocking minority, or 34pc. It will be completely anchored in French national territory.

At first, they kind of pinned us down easily, and we really weren't getting after our blocks the way we needed to. We made some adjustments to our blocking schemes, and then we got things going.

At first we try really hard to teach them what blocking is, how to memorize lines. We try and teach along the way.

At half time, coach Shawn Hearn made some changes in our secondary that really helped our pass coverage. Coach Harrell and I made some offensive adjustments with our blocking schemes and formations.

Everyone is cross-trained at three positions, some four. Ben Bishop, for example, is cross-trained at tailback, fullback, wingback and blocking back. We have to do that to stay competitive.

Even when spam doesn't get to your inbox, it uses up bandwidth. The necessary increased filtering also risks blocking genuine e-mails.

It's not as simple as blocking out New Orleans.

That quarterback, No. 11, he can play some yard-ball. And the offensive line does a good job of sorting things out and blocking things.

That's one of the main reasons he deserves this (Pro Bowl). Teams are having to change their blocking schemes and change their offenses, trying to slow him down. They stick a tight end over there to cover him. They send multiple guys out to check him.

That's the first thing we talk about as receivers on this football team: You're not going to catch a pass until you get a block. That's something we stress each and every day. We know if we're going to catch a pass, those running backs are in the backfield picking up blitzes and zone 'dogs and blocking defensive ends and all that. For us, it's a team thing. We don't play receiver; we play football, whatever that means. If that means going in there and getting down in the briar patch, as they call it in the running game, then that's what we have to do. If we so happen to catch a pass, so be it.

That'll be the toughest thing blocking the pass routes. The running game will come.

That's a big part of our game, is blocking shots. That's the way we play, and if somebody gets it in there, we're going to try to get it out.

You don't want a big tree sitting in the middle of your picture window blocking your view.

They did some of the stuff to us tonight that they did to us three months ago (a 77-57 Lockport victory in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic), like blocking shots. They made the game more difficult. Whenever we got close enough to get over the hump, we seemed to be a step slow going to a loose ball. And then you have to give Lockport credit. They hit some big shots, did some good things.

They passed and set the ball extremely well. They're fast and they transition to the middle really well. And we've got a freshman and a sophomore blocking middle while they have two seniors. That made a big difference.

They might as well take the defensive player of the year award and send it to Ben. He's been on a mission in the last three weeks, and when you look at all of the things he's doing - rebounding, blocking shots and making steals - he's phenomenal.

A lot of times they were making some big saves for me. It's all the credit to them. They're not scared of blocking shots. It's fun for a goalie to see guys trying to block as many shots as they can.

They had a small team, so I knew we could intimidate them by blocking shots and going to the hole.

They had some pretty good sustained pressure there in the third period. Our guys did a good job keeping it to the outside. They were blocking shots, selling out, diving, doing whatever we could to keep them out of the danger areas. They were starting to wear us down, but the team did a great job and I was trying to stay as calm as I could.

They don't take a play off, they're high-motor guys. You can't stop blocking them, because they don't quit coming at you. It's just a talented, hard-working bunch of guys. You see the numbers, 50 sacks, that's pretty telling.

They got some good blocking. But we had three or four guys that didn't react to their blocking scheme. They got pinned and didn't go back the opposite way quick enough.

The Republicans are legitimately concerned about nominations because of the statements of Democrats this year. They talked about wholesale blocking of Bush's nominees.

It was discovered that she had a floppy larynx. Every time she breathed it was sucking the larynx back into her windpipe, blocking it. The next day she was back in surgery again.

You have to learn offensive blocking schemes and especially when rushing the passer you get blocked differently, ... Larry had to call some (assignments) for us on Sunday with Corey not as familiar with what we're doing. Montae has always done that the last two years. Larry did a good job of getting us into some of the right things.

What's unusual is you're talking six weeks where the pattern was essentially fixed. Blocking patterns happen pretty much every year in the Pacific but six weeks is a long time.

We were playing it kind of like a seven-man front. We still wanted to protect against the deep pass. We've been very successful stopping the run in seven-man fronts. They were just able to find that crease. . . . They did a good job of blocking and getting us in defenses where our secondary guy was having to be the cutback player. We'll adjust.

We were pleased when he came in after the trade and did a solid job receiving the ball with above-average blocking skills. He's still learning to call a game but, overall, we're pleased.

We went back to the basics of football. We got our blocking assignments down and we were able to score -- able to move the ball again.

We are very concerned at the accusations against them and the harsh sentence proposed. The circumstances of their arrest are very confused and do not clearly establish their guilt. The legal authorities must make every effort to determine the origin of the firebombs, the only evidence against them. The judge has hastily declared the matter secret and is blocking all openness.

I told Jerome that whatever I have to do, if it was going out there and blocking linebackers or whatever, I was going to do it for him. Jerome has affected, in some way, everybody on this team. He's someone you can count on. I think our players were rallying behind him and making sure they did their jobs so they could get him to Detroit.

It was sweet. The defense turned around and started blocking for me and they made a clear path to the end zone.

It was the greatest feeling in the world, ... Our blocking scheme was improved. We were really hoping that our momentum would carry all the way through, but it wasn't our day.

It was the mind-set of the whole team to get to the front of the net. We hadn't done it much the first three games. They do a good job of blocking shots. It took hard work and determination from us.

It's awesome, a blessing. Our receivers were down field blocking their tails off. And I had big holes.

It was a real good day all-around, but especially on defense. In particular the blocking schemes that we have been working on. This weekend they understood why we do the things we want them to do.

It was run out of the wrong formation, ... And we have to improve our blocking technique. We didn't block too well anywhere. We just need to improve on offense and fix the little things we did wrong.

We just kept grinding. We ran the ball a lot. You can only do that when you're blocking well.

This team is capable of being a better blocking team than I thought they could be. That's an area we need to improve, because those are quick, easy points. Those are game separators. Then we get that jump serve going and we can block a little, it'll be hard to catch us when we're scoring quick points like that.

We just needed something to relax us and Heather's three did that. We did a good job of blocking out and keeping them off the boards. The girls executed the game plan we had very well.

We just need to keep working at getting better at blocking and tackling. I see that as our big weakness right now.

The most dangerous fundamentalists aren't just waging war in Iraq; they're attacking evolution, blocking medical research and ignoring the environment.

It's getting your race plan -- or game plan -- together like professional football. But it's all about you because you don't have 10 other guys blocking for you. I'd love to have some linemen out in front of me, but the cool thing is you set a goal for yourself and it's all about you.

It's hard to get rebounds when they make all their shots. We actually did a good job of blocking out, but everything dropped through the net.

It's basically a 4-3, but we'll get a lot of different looks because they don't stay in one place long. Our line must stick to its blocking roles, and I think our guys can handle it. They did last year.

It's going to be difficult to fill his shoes. He does a great job blocking and catching the football, and he did a great job of containment at linebacker.

They have the right to voice whatever opinion they want to. It's not going to make me play better, it's not going to make me play any worse. I got to get used to it and I'm blocking it out as much as I can. It is what it is.

They're not blocking those guys' shots. If they want to fly through the air and do that, they'll be on the bench.

They're like pacemakers. They're abnormal signals that they're trying to bring back to normal. Parkinson's disease leads to an abnormal firing pattern in a specific part of the brain and these brain pacemakers have been very effective in blocking these firing signals.

I feel comfortable, ... I am seeing things, seeing blitzes. That is something that I feel like we are getting better at as a team and as a front five. We are blocking a lot better in pass protection and doing a good job." ()

How do you scout blocking and tackling? You don't.

He's making me look good. I'm the guy blocking for him, so I don't mind. As long as somebody is doing good and getting in the end zone, I'm happy.

He's more aggressive as far as blocking and picking up blitzes and reading the holes in the run game. It makes a lot of difference in getting first downs.

He's got a great motor and he uses his power and understands the blocking angles and what he needs to do to get off the block. A lot of those kids inside, they never get off a block. It's like an elephant in the middle of the field. He's not that.

I figured it would be close like this. It's pretty typical of the Midland High-Abilene High rivalry. We knew (the Lady Eagles) were going to have a good blocking game." ()

I can remember knowing that I had to block Willie Lanier, or I had Buck Buchanan and Curley Culp right over my nose, beating on me, ... I'd get done blocking one Hall of Famer and there would be another one. It was a battle, no two ways about it.

He's not being aggressive, not blocking shots and other people are playing better than he is.

He's one of the better blocking tight ends at that age since we've been here.

I don't think us traveling every game has anything to do with dropping balls, not blocking the right people and not tackling, ... I don't think that has anything to do with it.

I don't think we had any major problems on the offensive line. We were all at the game. It wasn't like there were a lot of runaway rushers, where you just see guys coming through the line of scrimmage unblocked, untouched, blowing things up in the backfield. There were times when we got pushed back. There were times when we pushed them a little bit. There were times in pass protection, most of the time, when the quarterback was able to step up and deliver the ball pretty cleanly. In relative terms, it was OK. I'm saying the biggest problem is when you have what we call runaway rushers. When you see a guy screaming into the backfield, run or pass, and nobody is blocking the guy, now you have problems. You certainly want to avoid that.

I don't think they were used to guys blocking their shots. We did a good job blocking them and forced them to alter their shots.

For that type of size, he's very athletic. He's got very good feet. He can really move laterally well, and he can really catch the ball. We look at him as a dual threat -- blocking and catching the ball.

He plays a great game with great enthusiasm. He's dedicated himself the past year to be a starter this year. He was the difference maker today. He cleaned up the middle by blocking shots and obviously scored a few baskets for us.

He played 23 plays and touched the ball four times, which means he wasn't touching the ball 19 times that he was in there. Blocking isn't his forte. So we've got to figure out a way to work that out.

He actually ran me over when I was blocking for him. That just shows you how hard he was running.

He can do so many things. When he was a tight end (he was) the best blocking tight end in the NFL.

He can go to the basket, but he's not finishing. They had some big guys in there blocking the shots without leaving the ground.
