Execute Quotations | Page 3

I think having poise and the ability to execute is critical to play in tough situations and we have to find a psychological balance that we can do that,

It feels like a loss. We needed a win; a tie didn't help us. We had shots that were there, but we didn't execute well. We couldn't punch it in.

It feels nice to get zeros and get a win. You go out there to execute pitches and give your team a chance to win and I was able to do it all day.

Kansas has talent, but we have talent, too. We didn't play and execute like we should have and they did.

I think that's a credit to the guys. They can go. They can play. If they just continue to execute and play together, they can pretty much play either style.

It is a great event but it is just one night. We are looking for events that help us execute marketing over a longer period of time.

I think it's real good to have a game like this. I tried to play my second team more than I usually do, because I want to get them acclimated to playoff (atmosphere), and I thought this was kind of a tournament game. Fred's kids played very hard and they did a good job. What they do is execute probably better than anybody in the league, and I wanted to get my kids used to coming across screens, because (the Hawks) set a lot of screens.

I think it's really important for us to set a good tone for the end of the season, really come out and execute our game plan, dictate the tempo of the game, ... I think one of the things we have this year is that we are all perfectionists and we are all trying to get that perfect game going and we haven't had that yet.

I think they were prepared coming in. There's only so much you can do. You have to execute at some point.

I think we, as seniors, tried to motivate people and get them going from the beginning. You get on people. You let them know just to get moving quicker and to execute faster at the beginning of practice. That's what I was doing, just encouraging a fast start to practice.

I think we have some capable batters. I think the youngsters are looking to put their stakes on the table, in terms of getting themselves permanent into the Jamaica team and looking to make themselves available for West Indies' selection. And having said that we have Marlon Samuels, who is a senior campaigner, and we are looking to make sure that we lead from the front and put our (big) totals on the board more often than not, and try and restrict the opposition as quickly as possible and execute efficiently.

I think we do believe in the offense now. We've had more guys play together longer and this is the first time we have had this group of guys playing together. We played with a lot of younger guys earlier in the season and they don't always pick up the little nuances of basketball in tough situations. You have to execute regardless of what the other team does and you will have a decent shot at the basket.

I think we've improved a lot since we played Polson last. We know we can beat them but we'll have to execute well.

I think we were excited about playing, and the challenge of facing South-Doyle -- a very good team. Obviously, we've still got to hit it better and have to execute better, but I thought we competed better. It's like we're one of this, or one of that away.

I think we were up pretty handily and some guys got a little complacent. We didn't have as much energy and didn't execute like we needed to, and that contributed to Kentucky getting back into the game.

I thought our effort was sound today. It was an even hockey game. We had a game plan going in and we wanted to execute and bring that necessary energy and focus to give ourselves a chance to win. I thought we did that tonight. I can't fault the effort and intensity of our players.

It certainly allows us to execute the business plan much more effectively and much more quickly.

It came down to execution. We did not execute when we had the chance. Free throws and lay-ups are something we practice every day. But we didn't execute when we had the chance, and that made all the difference tonight.

It became more and more difficult after drinking beer, or while drinking beer on stage, to execute vocals in between burps.

I think it's a little bit of a stretch. The legislative intent clearly was not to incarcerate doctors or execute doctors who are performing abortions, illegal or otherwise.

I take credit or blame for a couple of the losses. I thought I called some poor games offensively, and I didn't give our players a chance to execute some plays. ... So, I've got a lot of improvement to make. It's not just the players.

It hurts, you know? At the end, we just didn't execute what we wanted to. They kept playing. They kept fighting. They're a good team, but it's disappointing, because we had the lead for most of the game.

I thought we should have been able to beat Grand Blanc. We didn't come out and produce on the scoreboard. I was disappointed that we didn't execute on the corner kicks. I thought we didn't muster as much offense as I thought we could have.

I thought the defensive execution wasn't there at the end. The offensive execution was good enough. We were scoring, but when didn't execute on defense. We couldn't stop them from penetrating towards the basket.

I thought the last 3 or 4 minutes there in the first half is when things kind of got away. We had four or five consecutive possessions where we didn't execute well." ()

I thought we missed a lot of shots that put us in a bind. We did not execute too well on offense, but I think our teamwork and the hustle were the difference in the game.

We needed defensive stops. But then again, to get on the board, you need to execute and move the ball around and run our motion like we usually do.

I wasn't interested in test lab cost savings; I was interested in maintaining an exceptional level of product quality. To do that, I needed a lab that could scale, execute at high speeds, and amortize expensive equipment as effectively as possible. We'll always have more engineers generating code than equipment to test it; it's the nature of the business.

(Today's) like a whole new day. Everybody's record is 0-0. Everyone's good; it's the ones who execute who are going to win.

Today was an opportunity for all of us to realize . . . this is a team effort. We cannot do it alone and we are the ones who are going to have to execute the plans.

We played one of our best games of the season so far all over the field with hitting, pitching and defense. This team finally got glimpse of how they can play if they live up to their potential and execute what we go over in practice.

We were sporadic because we have one returning starter. It's tough. We've got a lot of guys working hard. When you open up with a great team you have to execute every down. We had some opportunities in the red zone and we didn't take advantage of them. Our players made some bad decisions. That's part of it. That's what the first games are about.

We were getting in so much foul trouble trying to execute our traps. I am so excited about our half-court game. We executed beautifully with our back picks and lob passes.

We have the know-how, the capital and the manpower to execute these projects, ... It's all a question of timing. We know which fields and reservoirs, and we have the ability and willingness to do it.

We have thought it through, but we don't want to tip our hand. We need to see how all of this plays itself out. It's hard to execute a strategy until we know that. But we're still going to lead and still set the terms as much as we can.

To beat Penn you have to be error-free, execute on special teams and control the ball on offense. If we do that we'll have a chance to win. I saw the scrimmage tape against Andrean, where (Andrean) didn't run the ball past the line of scrimmage. I wanted to turn the tape off.

Unfortunately, we didn't make the plays we needed to make. They played well on defense. We didn't execute to the best of our abilities today. Therefore they're the Super Bowl champs, and we're not.

We'll go back at it and run our stuff. I don't think there's any secrets. We've just got to execute a little better, and we just can't turn the ball over.

We'll have a great scheme. It's up to us to execute it.

Those are the kinds of things you're going to have to execute if you want to be champions again.

We didn't shoot well from the free throw line and I don't think we had a team execute like Marshfield Columbus did against us all year. In the first half they were executing their offense very well and we were able to maintain our focus and composure just enough to get them off rhythm a little bit. Once we did, I thought our guys really sensed it and they pounced on it pretty good.

We didn't shoot well tonight, but we didn't execute well either. It's a team thing; everyone on the court has to take responsibility.

We didn't come into this game with a lot of energy but we were able to regain our focus and execute a little bit.

The athletes are up for the challenge. They're focused and I think our confidence is riding high. With two weeks before conference I think they really want to put up a good showing. This will be a very good test for us to see where we are mentally. If we can go out and execute as well as we have this year I think we'll be happy with the results.

The announced organization will continue our customer focus, improve our ability to execute and position Boeing for sustainable, long-term growth and profitability in a changing market environment.

We have a lot of confidence. Maybe the world doesn't believe that we can go out and win, but to beat the No. 1 and No. 2 and No. 3 seeds, you've got to have confidence. We felt like with the guys and coaching staff that we have in this locker room, we could get the job done. We've just got to go out and execute our game plan and make plays, and everything will take care of itself.

With the talent level we have right now, our margin of error is small. We can't get away with the same things we could have when our talent level was that much higher. We need to execute things better to make up for the talent we don't have.

We're still trying to figure out how to play without our best shooting guard. Nevada's pressure defense, they executed well. It's hard to adjust to. They do a good job of moving their feet and using their hands and it's hard to get through, but they're supposed to execute that well when you play at home. We had a couple lapses where we didn't do much right. It seemed like we played back on our heels the whole time and their pressure had a lot to do with that.

We have to have kids step up. When the lights come on -- and I love my kids -- they have to execute better. Our defense is like Swiss cheese right now, and that's really frustrating.

We have built brands that resonate deeply with our customers. Our strategy to grow these brands is clear, and we have strong teams in place to execute this strategy. That is our formula for success.

We just didn't execute down the stretch. I thought we got the shots we wanted. I liked our effort.

We just didn't execute down the stretch like we needed to. Same exact thing happened twice. We didn't play as good as we can and we didn't execute at the end of the game.

We just didn't execute down the stretch. We had breakaway lay-ups and we didn't put them in. I mean, lay-ups.

We just didn't execute on offense. We had an opportunity, and we fought really hard for that opportunity, but we didn't do enough.

We just didn't execute our game plan. We had a game plan to slow Pau down and we did a good job on him, but they had other guys come up big.

We just didn't execute our offense very well. We didn't make our cuts quick enough. I'm not taking anything away, West played good defense tonight. I'll give them credit but we didn't play fundamentally sound basketball.

We just didn't execute the plays when we needed to. We ran the ball well at times, but we didn't execute on the big third-down plays or in the fourth quarter.

We just didn't execute the way we wanted to on the penalty kill,

We just didn't execute the way we were used to executing all year long. Give Pittsburgh credit. They played hard. They played well enough to win this football game. I just felt like we made some uncharacteristic mistakes.

We just didn't execute to the best of our abilities. That's why (Pittsburgh) is the Super Bowl champion, and we're not.

We just didn't execute to the best of our ability today. We were close a couple of times, but close doesn't get it done.

We just didn't execute very well offensively in the second half. We picked up a lot of fouls in the fourth quarter and that discouraged us a little bit. We stopped rebounding, and that hurt us, too. But give Hunt credit, they came in here and took the win against us.

We just didn't finish. We have to find ways to execute better in the final minutes of the game. We just didn't do enough to win. They made the plays down the stretch and we didn't.

We just didn't have any energy left. We couldn't execute anything we were trying to do there at the end.

We just didn't have good execution. TCU did a good job of putting a stop to us, and we couldn't execute as well as we needed to.

We just didn't have it. This was a key game and we didn't execute the way we needed to.

We just didn't have the mental outlook to execute at the end.

We just didn't match their intensity, four quarters, you know. Sometimes we played decent, scoring, making plays, but then we wouldn't execute like we should. There was a lot of frustration, you could feel it. The offense, the coaching staff. We just weren't executing.

We just didn't play well enough. It's disappointing. It's hard. But what can you do? They played really hard on defense and we didn't execute to the best of our ability. We were close a couple times, but close doesn't cut it.

We just didn't settle into the game and didn't do the fundamentals things we needed to do. When it comes down to it, we just didn't execute and we didn't box out.

We just didn't show up for last week's game against Joshua Springs. I told our kids that they (Excelsior) would come out and hit you hard because they have some good players, and you'll have to execute our game plan better than you did last week. The other teams are looking for that opportunity to beat us and have that second-place playoff spot, and we really need to step it up.

We need to improve in many areas. If we aren't going to hit it over the fence, which we have not, we need to execute the fundamentals of small ball ... which have been not very good. We've got to learn our game.

You like the way you can compete and execute down the stretch, but we do feel very fortunate. We thought Tyler was very big again inside, to say the least, and Danny made some big baskets for us as well. Survive and advance, that's what we're trying to do.

You have to execute out there. We were fortunate we were able to. This is the way the series is going to be for as far as it goes. And those guys will execute, we know that, so we'd better be playing at a high level.

We just couldn't execute -- those guys were executing their offense and getting points out of it and we weren't. That was the difference in the game.

We just couldn't finish things off today. Give them credit. They played hard, and we just didn't execute with any intensity.

We just couldn't seem to catch up to them. We didn't execute as well as we would have liked early in the game. I have to give them a lot of credit, they did a really good job against us.

We just did not execute in overtime, and the execution was really simple, ... They just got the ball to Jason and let him operate.

We just did not execute in overtime, and the execution was really simple. They just got the ball to Jason and let him operate.

That's a tough loss for us right now. We didn't execute like we should have. They challenged us and we missed shots.

That strikeout wasn't what lost the game. We didn't execute earlier. You leave the bases loaded, and that really hurts you.

That's the philosophy, inside-out. That's what we've been trying to do, but we don't always do it. We are trying to be more patient and execute the offense. This was important for morale.

We just are not able to execute offensively right now. Our recognition is poor and that leads to us taking low percentage shots.

We need to play, I don't want to say with a sense of urgency (but) we need to be able to execute and finish games. We put ourselves in position to win, and hopefully, we learn from those missed opportunities and change those outcomes.

That was a huge call and a huge play in the game. You know it takes a lot of courage, a lot of confidence in your defense to make that call, and most important to execute it.

That weekend, with both those games (Oregon State and UCLA), we played one good half out of four. Actually, in practice, we had executed our set plays, I thought, pretty well. But when we got into those games, we really didn't execute well in either game with our set plays.

We got the loose balls in the second half that we didn't get in the first half. Those are the things we have to do. When you have to make up for a guy who scores 19, 20 points, you have to execute better. You have to do the little things.

We got too passive at the end of the first half. I said before the game, the team that was more aggressive would win...We just mentally zoned out and didn't execute the way we should have.

We need to stick to our game plan, be mentally tough and execute what we do in practice.

We need to work on our red zone offense and execute down there, and we need to cut down on our penalties,

We never could get over the hump. We didn't execute when we needed to.

We need to execute and catch the ball.

We need to execute and we need to take care of our assignments. I think that boils down to any team in high school football.

We need to execute more, we need to be first to the ball and we need to continue to take more shots on goal.

We didn't execute against (the 1-3-1 zone) very well. Normally we do. It was our impatience. This group tonight was very inpatient and you can't be that way in our offense.

We didn't execute a lot down the stretch as far as foul shots, and the more you miss the more tense you get. It was a combination of missed free throws and not getting stops down the stretch that allowed them to get as close as they did.

We didn't execute and when you don't execute against a good team, you get beat.

We didn't execute as well as we should have in the red zone. It goes to show that the best team doesn't always win. I think that we were the better team and the stats showed we were the better team. But (the 49ers) made more plays to win the ballgame.

We didn't execute as well in the last three minutes. We were shooting almost 50% against a good team, we just couldn't get it done down the stretch.

We didn't execute as well offensively as we had hoped, but we made the plays when we needed them. We've got some work to do, but I'm happy with the outcome tonight.
