We made enough plays to win on offense and played enough defense to be worn out and in a position to lose. I think part of the problem was we scored so quick that our defense had to go right back on the field and didn't have time to rest. We weren't tackling very well. We couldn't get people to the point of attack.

Paul Maechtle

Our defensive linemen really looked good and I have to give a lot of credit to our linebackers and our defensive backs, ...

Jim Ryan

We had too much bad tackling and bad mistakes. Their scores were off what we did wrong.

Troy Taylor

He's a different type of back than what we see over here. In the Pac-10 we have smaller guys who are quicker and shiftier. He's a real straight-ahead kind of guy, real fast with a great combination of size and speed. I like playing against him. It's fun tackling a guy who's bigger. It makes for a bigger hit and he packs a punch.

Jerry Montgomery

He's a tremendous athlete and a very explosive runner, but he's not a guy who's going to put on a lot of moves. Once he gets in the open field he tries to run by guys. We will have to be fast and sure on our open-field tackling.

Bobby Carpenter

Listening to Mr. Bettman, they're going to continue to crack down on all the obstruction and stick fouls that's been called all season. The old days of the Hudson Bay Rules, just tackling and grabbing and holding, won't be there. So we'll continue to see the five, six power plays a game.

Scott Arniel

Pirate fishing is a global threat to the oceans and those who depend upon them. We hear fine words from governments about tackling the problem – but if they were serious then we wouldn't need to be here and offer our ship to the Guinea authorities. The first thing that must be done is to close ports to pirate fishing boats, deny them access to markets and ensure that companies are prosecuted.

Some of the linebackers tell me what they're going to do. Steve Gandy told me he was going to put the 'boom' on me -- knock me out. I just laugh. I don't know if we're tackling or not, but hopefully we are. I get to show what I can do a little bit.

Ben Tate

Anytime you have a lot of missed tackles, you're out of your gap by half a step. ...

Peter Sirmon

We cannot reduce our oil dependency without tackling our oil-guzzling transport sector.

They handballed a lot, and teams that can handball a lot, obviously we're not chasing and tackling the way we should be, so the basic things we've got to get right - winning the ball, being a bit harder and putting on a lot of pressure.

David Teague

We knew they had a good running game but a lot of the added yards they got had to do with us not tackling. It's something we have worked on this week and we've put an emphasis on it and the fundamentals it takes to do it.

Mike Riley

Poor tackling. We had guys in position. We've just got to make that play.

Clint Ingram

I think on another day, we could have beaten these guys. For the most part, we were OK on offense. We just didn't execute very well on defense. We weren't tackling, and we gave up way too many big plays.

Clancy Pendergast

I haven't had a chance to break down tape on USC vs. the Jedi Council. USC against Godzilla and King Kong tackling in space would be tough, too.

Didier Deschamps

We had them backed up again and let them off the hook. I thought we improved our tackling. We still have a ways to go.

Some of them are learning and you talk to them, try to teach them and they have that far away look in their eyes and you have to go over it again.

We'll work on our zone blitz package, and fundamentals, tackling. We're off to a good start, but that's all that is, is a start. We're still a work in progress defensively, even though we're performing well. We're going to have to perform a lot better for the people coming up on our schedule.

Mike Hudson

We're tackling an area where the U.S has been criticized the most.

Vaughn Moore

We know how high powered they are. They handle the ball well up front and have some good athletes. But this week we'll get schooled up in practice and be ready to go. It's all about blocking and tackling anyhow.

James Garbarino

We had a good second scrimmage, giving up just one score, so we've looked good defensively so far. Our strength is our gang tackling and swarming to the ball. We are playing good, sound fundamental defense.

Those positions are similar. I?m used to flying up and tackling guys, and I?m used to being in pass coverage. I can definitely do both.

Johnny Wasniewski

We had a tough time blocking, tackling, and didn't do a good job as coaches and players, ... We didn't open up enough holes and sustain enough blocks on offense. It's always a combination of things, and we just need to keep working and get better.

Randy Edsall

They started tackling better. They became a fist, and we couldn't break that fist.

Justin Feagin

Before we just scratched the surface. Now it appears as though we're going on a deep dive on one or two subjects. This will give us greater insight, instead of tackling 20 different things in rapid fire.

Rick Kearney

[Phillips said the Quakers] did a great job that first half tackling up front against a physical team, ... Zach Kennedy was the guy making the hits in the first half. We ask a lot out of our defensive linemen and they rose up to the occasion.

Doug Phillips

I don't care how complicated they make the game seem, it's really based on two principles and those are blocking and tackling.

Clint Ingram

He's definitely become more physical but he's got to improve his tackling because he can't just lunge in on players.

Gary Peters

Just really excited about that. The biggest thing with Justin is you see lot of people that just hit him and bounce off. You gotta hang on to him and wait for help. We're just not used to tackling backs that big in practice.

Scott Cantrell

There were times when I would finish writing a sequence and I would see the face of my very well-mannered, deeply Presbyterian mother staring back at me from my imagination, looking at me with her lips pursed like, 'Douglas, what do you think you're doing?' ... But if you're tackling a figure like Sade, you have a moral obligation to be true to his spirit.

Doug Wright

Educate is at a place where it is feeling the pressure in its ability to attract customers. While it is tackling a lot of small issues, the elephant in the room is it has effectively saturated this market of affluent families that would pay for this service. So, Educate ceases to be a straightforward growth company and more of a consumer cyclical that will move with the cycles in the economy.

Trace Urdan

Grouping makes tackling things like attendance more manageable.

Lee Maras

I'm an old-fashioned guy. There are two kinds of coaches: schemers and fundamentalists. Fundamentalists teach blocking, tackling and holding on to the ball.

It's been a lot better this semester because we're doing a lot of things fundamentally better. Our tackling is almost-near perfect, and our ball-handling has improved tremendously.

Seth Erwin

We made a decision to go with the basics. Regardless of the level of football -- college, high school, the NFL -- blocking and tackling gets it done. We decided to focus on the basics and parlay that into everything else.

Chris Powers

We play great defense in the third quarter, go into the fourth quarter and give up two scores, I can't explain it. This game was the worst exhibition of tackling at Nelson that I've seen in a long time.

Tim Crawford

We have to get better technically in all phases. Sustaining our blocks (running game), pass blocking, being more efficient passing, getting a better pass rush, tackling ...

Andy Bitto

It's complex, but it's a good kind of problem to have. It's exactly what we want to be tackling.

William Adler

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.
