Josh Quotations | Page 4

Everyone I've ever talked to who has played with Josh Beckett says no one likes him. And that's why. There's no reason for him to say anything. He chooses to, and people don't like him for it.

There was one little flurry and Josh didn't come out on the right end of it. And an experienced guy like Cook is going to take advantage of it.

They figured him out. Josh is not one who creates his own shot. His shots have been created off of our screens, and we've given him as many as possible. But they've locked him out by just concentrating on him and we haven't found a lot of alternate scoring.

The young guys stepped up. Josh Smith made two big shots. He missed a couple and then he stepped up and made the big plays when we needed them. It was a team effort all the way across the board. It's fun playing games like this when you have a chance to win.

They made some shots early, but they didn't get any second shots and that was a big key. When you play Beckley you keep them off the boards. That's a big key there. Josh hit the boards.

It's a testament to just how hard Josh works, because Starks was probably in better shape. Josh just wore him out in the third and got a near fall to win the match.

You have to make sure you're asking your quarterback to do things he's capable of doing. The experience factor is the thing that's missing. Phil can't become an experienced QB in one or two games, and Josh was a three-year starter. So we have to live with that.

We're going to win as a team. We're going to win when Dirk Nowitzki continues to move forward and Josh Howard and Erick Dampier and Jason Terry give the consistency I'm looking for.

I took it as a frustrated, idiotic comment, especially considering the slop he was throwing up there. I mean, who is Josh Towers?

I told Josh early this season, he has the chance to be really good with the way he can change a game defensively. Just getting a better work ethic is a big thing for our young guys.

I told Josh if he had a shot, take it. We were down by a lot. He had some looks. I told him 'don't worry about being unselfish, take the shot.' He took it and he made it.

It says a lot about Josh and his commitment to basketball that he's going to have this phenomenal opportunity presented to him, ... He was focused and really determined this summer to prove a lot of people wrong and say, 'I can play at this level.'

It was a very good game on both pitchers part. Josh really did a great job for us this afternoon.

This was the first complete game we've played this season. Josh got ahead on a lot of his pitches and threw a great game.

We want to do it full time. It's a big commitment. Josh has been on the road before. He played with a well-known bluegrass band. He had to drive to Nashville every week and take off, then drive home from Nashville every week. We want to do it full time and we've all committed to it. At the same time, we're trying to do the balancing act because some of us are getting older, thinking about getting married and settling down later on. But right now we're all committed and right now we're pushing as hard as we can push. It's one of those things we're going to figure out as we go along.

We just had to find a groove. They did a nice job. Obviously, they scouted us and made it confusing for us. Josh Taylor was covering Antonio much of the time.

We talked about being patient and running our offense, and we just had to play our defense, calm down and get our heads back in the game. Josh Cedar gave us some big defensive plays to get momentum back.

We talked about coming ready to pitch and play, and I think that was the difference. Josh came out and took charge of the game. We came out aggressive swinging the bats, put some runs up early and that gave us some breathing room.

It's going to be a great learning experience for Josh. I know Josh is going to return to the program and not only have a successful career here, but be a much better student and earn his Union degree.

It's good to have a big league dad. Jesse dressed Josh up well.

There's a reason Josh hits in the fourth spot; he puts the bat on the ball. Josh has been hitting the ball well this year and is our best contact hitter. He learns from at-bat to at-bat and from game-to-game. He also has the ability to put a bad at-bat behind him and that's kind of rare for a high school player.

There were a few things that hurt him. The (Pitt) team didn't have a great year, so Josh didn't get noticed as much. No Senior Bowl ... but he did look good at the combine.

There were a lot of things that happened in that sequence of play . . . the spotlight will probably go on Josh because it was his opponent that kicked the winning goal, but there were a lot of things that we can learn from that passage of play.

They're fantastic, ... They're really funny and silly and 'catchy' and obnoxious in the best possible way. They have that wonderful energy and spontaneity that Josh seems to bring to everything. They're PERFECT!

I figured Josh Daniel or Chris Long would have got it. I'm happy and proud. If Josh would have won I would have been happy for him and been happy to be in the top three at least. I would have called him up and congratulated him. It's an honor and a privilege. They are great players.

I figured that was the best way to approach it. Josh wasn't his sharpest tonight, but he got the job done.

I figured when they traded Josh Beckett, that this might happen.

I am very proud of the effort each individual put forth tonight. I feel Josh Snow ran an outstanding race today. He has been very consistent all year and today was no exception.

Because Josh was ready, he was a difference maker. It's a sign of his attitude by staying ready because he might not get in. I'm proud of him for that.

Josh will begin disappearing into a future where the only place he and I remain friends is on the Internet.

Josh Gad and I have been friends since the time he auditioned for Modern Family. I directed the pilot for that, and that's how we met.

Josh Freeman will be an MVP candidate.
