Kyle Quotations | Page 4

I gave up two goals (to Tie Domi and Kyle Wellwood) and I didn't get much in the way of shots. I've got to keep working here to get ready for the season.

I'll put Kyle and Ryan with anybody in the North or South.

Certainly we thought Kyle would be a little further along than the other two (Jacques and Winchester). He hasn't yet established himself, but I think he's going in the right direction.

By far, that was his best game of the year. He looked fantastic. But, while Kyle had a good game, his teammates get the credit - they were focused into getting it inside to him and that may be why we had so many turnovers. We were throwing the ball into double coverage.

I don?t think Kyle is our best on-the-ball defender, but as an off-the-ball defender he is pretty good.

He's really on a roll right now and finally beat the Mascoutah kid (Kent Williams). They had some tight matches this season, but Kyle finally beat him.

They basically gave us a short school and turned us loose. Kyle was fastest. I spun a bunch. But we got 35-40 laps each. After the first 10 laps, we said it was worth the money right there. We've done it a couple of times.

It was a bigger teenager who saw somebody smaller than him with something he wanted. It is very isolated but the mall feels the need to get involved and give Kyle another Xbox.

Anthony Wright is the starter for an undetermined period right now due to injury. Kyle Boller is our starting quarterback. If I left it open to interpretation, if I left that in a way that led to speculation that we did not have the faith in Kyle, that our faith is wavering, that was not my intent.

All three of them did very, very well and I was pleased with what I saw. Michael impressed and took his goal well, Kyle and Anthony looked lively out wide as well, so we'll try and keep them here with us or another week.

The forwards didn't loan him a stick and maybe Kyle didn't yell at anybody to hand him a stick.

The game was much closer than the score indicated. Kyle Eden played great in goal tonight, and I think that was a big difference.

A lot of times it comes down to desire and attitude. Unfortunately he got an opportunity to show there at the end of the match. You've got to give Kyle a lot of credit for holding those points off because there's not many guys who would have been able to hold that off the way he did.

You can't give too much away. It'll be a chance for Kyle and the rest of the group to get some work in, and then we'll get a long look at some of our other guys.

You change any position on the field that much, it will disrupt and then you talk about the most important position on the field. We've chosen our guys and tried to stick with them and there have been freak injuries and stuff like that. Hopefully Kyle is our guy.

You could see that it didn't matter who was coming at him. The puck was not going to get behind Kyle Jones (Saturday). He seemed to see everything clearly, and even when it was a scramble, he was in proper position.

Andre gets in foul trouble, wasn't able to play a lot of minutes, Johnny and Kyle come in and do a very nice job, and then Andre comes back in at the end of the game and defends Tracy (McGrady) extremely well.

Allen and Kyle are doing things on the court as far as scoring. I look forward to doing the little things that are going to change the game. I always tell myself to make a big play and make something happen. When the opportunity presents itself, you try to take advantage of it.

For a guy to be starting and then go to the bench is not always an easy thing. Fortunately for me, you have a guy like Kyle who will do anything for us to be successful.

It's always a special attraction for a project if you have someone that you're that fond of working with you. Kyle and I became unlikely good friends and have remained very close over the decades.

It's tough to kill 5-on-3s. There were a couple of phantom calls (not whistled against Vancouver) when we're up 3-0, and they missed a call on Kyle Calder being held at 4-4. If you're calling it, keep calling in at the end like you do at the start.

It's not my priority to get kids a Division I ride. It's just a plus when they get that opportunity. Kyle has a special talent and he is fortunate to be able to use it to get an education. He has put in a lot of hours and he deserves it.

I told them my concerns of how Kyle walked out of the school unnoticed and how my friend came by and picked up my other two children (last week) when (my friend) was not on the list (of those authorized to do so). Too many times people are walking the hall with no visitor's badge on, and it could be anybody walking off the street.

That steal and basket by Kyle was a very athletic play. It was one of those plays that shows how serious your team is about playing hard. We had several of those plays tonight.

That's the beauty of this team. We have a lot of guys who have the ability to score, but give it up because of the other guys. And then when they're needed, they'll do it. Like tonight, we needed Mike and Kyle to score and they did. Randy gets 10 rebounds tonight and he's in foul trouble and he doesn't care because we won. It's a fun team to coach.

They are pretty good, but they need to learn how to work harder. Kyle needs to stay healthy and stay mean.

There's a lot of evaluation going on there with air-fuel mixtures, oil pressures, engine temperatures. That's more important to us than what Kyle thinks right now.

There is nothing wrong with punting the ball, and I have made that comment to Kyle a few times. We have a good defense. Punting the ball is not a negative play. A negative play is a sack, a fumble or an interception.

It's a special story. You look at the hometown guys like Kyle Davies, Jeff Francoeur, Blaine Boyer and Brian McCann, and to see the role they're playing on the team right now, there couldn't be a better story in baseball.

We've been struggling to make outside shots and we need to make outside shots to play our inside-out game and Kyle stepped up and made the outside shots we needed.

We tweaked (the offense) a little bit to cater to Brandon's strengths, ... Kyle could do more with his arm. Brandon is more spontaneous. He can make something happen at any time.

We're very pleased to have Kyle here for the next several years.

We're very pleased to have Kyle here for the next several years. Last season he exemplified himself as an important part of our defense through his work ethic and intensity on and off the field. It helps us to get something worked out with him before free agency, and I think both parties in this case were able to accomplish what they wanted with the deal.

We got the ball back on a fumble with about 14 second left. And Kyle threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Rob Keene, who crossed into the end zone with seven seconds left.

I took it personal, and it wasn't really personal. So I learned from it. And I think Kyle did, too. I always have liked Kyle. ... Anytime you get guys with a fire inside of them, that want to win, that want to be out there on the mound, people are going to butt heads.

It's a blow because Kyle has been playing well for us. But that's the way it goes with loan signings sometimes, so we'll just have to get on with it.

We had to bear down a little bit. Kyle did a good job pitching for us. He made pitches when he had to make them and the defense played well behind him.

This was a coming out party for these guys. Kyle Bradshaw took home his first gold medal in his high school career with an overtime thriller against Chris Johnson of Sparks, a guy he's had a long history with.

We knew it was going to be a battle and everyone knows what is on the line. We were able to get started and feed off of the emotion. Curtis is never afraid of the magnitude of the moment. He stepped up and hit foul shots and Kyle Ruby's 3-pointer from the corner was big. Things kind of went our way after the first quarter.

We just got loose over there off turn two, and I got sideways, but Kyle pretty much drove through me. What goes around comes around.

We talked about doing this two weeks ago. It has nothing to do with the last game. Neither he nor Kyle Martino were as effective as they needed to be, but our expectations for him are still very high.

We tried to frame it as a playoff-caliber game because it was for them, and therefore it was for us. The whole team -- and Kyle -- stepped up to the challenge.

It's like standing on top of the John Hancock (building). Compared to where it's been, this is the best we've been. ... Rex has got to stay healthy. Brian's got to continue to play at his level. And Kyle has to continue to develop as well. It's a good situation. We like it.

I do it because I want to continue to be in the driver fraternity, ... I was so happy at Martinsville last week. I had on my great big Toyota Tundra uniform. I've got my truck there. I've got my team there. I'm parked right next to Jimmie Johnson, and we're talking driver talk. Right next to me is Kyle Busch, and we're talking driver talk.

He really likes the way Kyle passes the ball and also his ability to bring the ball up for the floor.

If he and Mike came, we wouldn't be able to get Kyle (Lowry). If we didn't get Mike and got (Shakur), we probably could get Kyle. Players like playing with good players. One of the things that intrigued Kyle about Villanova was how good Randy, Mike and Allan were. When he came and played with them I think he was impressed. Sometimes some of these guys like being around other real good players and I think that's what happened in Kyle's case.

The kind of season Kyle had in 2003 indicates what he is capable of on the field. He should fit in nicely in the outfield (J.D. Foust was signed earlier), but I'm also excited to see what another big bat can do for our lineup.
