Right now, I'm putting a lot on myself as receiver to help the other guys. The strength of this group of receivers is that they want to learn. Last year the coaches were explaining the new offense to us and we just listened. This year we're asking more questions and we're eager to learn.

Michael Reed

Holmes and Jackson will probably be the only two receivers drafted in the first round. You could make a case for three or four clubs taking (Holmes) in the middle of the first.

Frank Coyle

This is a great opportunity for myself and a lot of other young guys who will play Thursday. We're up for the challenge and ready to go out and have fun and showcase what our receivers can do.

Alvis Whitted

I think coach Cole's eyes have been opened up to what we can do. I think the wide receivers will be more in the rotation this year.

Ronald Wright

I'll be ready. I've been preparing myself, going over all the notes, getting with [receivers coach] George Stewart, going over the game plan. The more I do that, the easier it will be as I get into the game. I'll be ready to step up. Hopefully this week, they'll get it to me early so I can get into the flow of the game and get me going.

Roddy White

I know Joel has been working hard at quarterback — reading defenses, working on his footwork — so he should be better this year. And he's been working with other receivers. I was pretty busy, ... but I've been playing catch with him all my life, so that connection is already there.

James Mason

He's not looking for the attention some of the other receivers are looking for.

Patrick Surtain

They're a pretty balanced team. They have a good quarterback and a couple good receivers in their passing game, but they can also run effectively.

Jay Anderson

They have the best receivers in the conference.

Bill Kavanaugh

I think it's a big help. I think Florida has probably gotten about all the receivers they need to get, but it will help (in other areas).

Bobby Burton

Somebody's gotten in his ear and told him it's a weak group of receivers.

Frank Coyle

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

Justin Forsett

He's a unique person, ... If you look at the film, he's phenomenal. ... He's so big and strong, and he's probably faster than some of their wide receivers.

Tom Ashworth

Their quarterback can really throw the ball and is not afraid to run it, either. Their running backs hit the holes quick and their receivers are very athletic.

Marty Jaggers

I have that much confidence in all our receivers that I don't know who catches it until after the play. I feel that everyone can catch the ball and make plays and that's a good feeling to have.

Isaiah Stanback

You're going to have to cover longer than you normally would, because when you get pressure on [Hagans] he can create and buy time for his receivers to get open, ... There's no telling how long you may have to cover a receiver. That's going to present a challenge in itself.

Milton Harris

He's fine, he's going to be fine. It will take a little time. There are a lot of things to adjust to. Obviously all the new things thrown at him, the different receivers, the different people working with him, the high grass. It will come. It will be fine.

Tom Coughlin

That's our strength right now until I can figure out some receivers. I made sure everyone knows I'm the guy that can run this offense, and the guys on offense made big plays for me.

Perry Patterson

It was good to go out there, see how the receivers run their routes and get to know them now that I'm in this division. I had a lot of fun out there. It was great to get out there and get a big win.

Kelly Herndon

They probably have the best set of wide receivers in the league. They've been in every game that they've played, and they've lost some close games in the fourth quarter.

Kurt Faust

I'm working every day to pick up on it. The better I get, the better the offense gets. You don't like to say everything is put on the quarterback, but if I throw good balls, our receivers are going to make good catches.

Sean Ryan

Now he's helping other receivers on what they're supposed to be doing. He's definitely been polished.

Justin Zwick

What stands out? To me, it's the attitude he brings to practice everyday. He's always excited, always ready and there's a contagious aspect to that. Our receivers, for example, know they can't run sloppy routes in practice because Bruce expects more.

Tom Amstutz

We have two good receivers. We have to get them the ball. They're multi-sport athletes, they have speed and they are competitive. They made two big catches.

Pat O'brien

I have confidence in all of my receivers. They all work hard. They all get to open spots and it's easy when you have a bunch of receivers who know what they are doing.

Kelly Feil

I know we have some fast receivers coming in. Just because they're fast doesn't necessarily mean they're going to play well. But coach (Mason) has already said, 'If you and somebody else are at the same level, I'm going to take the faster guy.' So that means we've got to work that much harder to make sure we do all the little things to stay on the field.

Paul Hubbard

Our offensive line is not near where we need it to be. Our wide receivers are better than where we've been in the past, though.

Scott Stone

Miller is really a nice quarterback. He really throws a nice ball. And he has some receivers who really went out and made some nice plays.

Kent Mueller

All the receivers are talking about making the big plays. We know that they only put one guy back in the secondary, and we love to throw the ball deep, so hopefully we can have a big day.

Derek Hagan

I knew from day one we had talented receivers. Guys have been playing real good and it's only going to get better. Things are in place right now.

Willie Reid

At least I know (where the hits) are coming from. I don't mind getting hit, as long as I know where it's coming from. (That's) when you hurry passes, and the timing is off with the receivers.

Jordan Palmer

I think [the height gap between receivers and cornerbacks] has kind of widened.

Terence Newman

It's a big challenge. Those guys are one of the most explosive offenses in the league. To have so many weapons, you just can't lay your head on one guy. They have a terrific running game. They have terrific receivers. But if we come out and play with the same intensity we had against the Jets, then we should be fine.

Patrick Surtain

We can stick five of our best DBs on five of their best receivers, and I think our coaches would feel comfortable, ... After this game, everyone will see what kind of a secondary we are.

Aaron Ross

I've never been any place where we kept seven receivers. With that said, I'm delighted that we were able to keep them. We're going to keep working and keep coaching them up and keep grooming them up and hopefully when their time comes, they'll be able to answer the bell.

Richard Mann

I thought our wide receivers really stepped it up in blocking, ... Because with a lot of the perimeter running that we do, they become point-of-attack blockers, and they really did a good job.

Glen Mason

There is a lot more action at tight end. I enjoy blocking and catching, and the tight end here catches the ball more than the receivers.

Jason Harmon

When it's like that, the offensive linemen want to give him time. They want to protect him, ... Us receivers want to get open, because we know Jay is going to come with that ball.

Tramain Hall

It's still going to be a challenge anyway because they have three other good wide receivers.

Trumaine Mcbride

Some people may have overlooked him. We practice together consistently. I know where they'll (receivers) will be. He has a knack for the ball.

Fred Ray

We got open, ... Everybody can say that the receivers weren't getting open. But one thing we say is that the eye in the sky don't lie. If you watch the film, you'll see a lot of guys wide open.

Travis Taylor

I have no clue who our receivers and running backs will be. We really are rebuilding. Most of our top players graduated, so we have all kinds of question marks.

Neil Gordon

We felt the receivers were pushing off all night, ... (Johnson's) a big physical guy, but sometimes you're just going to get away with it.

Tony Lewis

We were executing on offence. The O-line was giving the protection; the receivers were getting open. All I had to do was put the ball in the receivers' hands. We had a good game plan and it definitely worked for us.

Anthony Calvillo

The Birds gave us a great run over the past five years, but I don't think anyone could have imagined it ending like this. What you have to hope is that they can get some better receivers and everyone who's injured comes back playing well. I do think there's hope for next season.

Mark Reynolds

I just saw open grass and took off. I got great blocking from the receivers.

Seth Wentworth

As long as somebody gets open, it doesn't matter who gets the ball, ... We've got five receivers that can start at any time. It's not really a problem.

Calvin Johnson

Like [receivers coach Fred Graves] says, 'Leave your ego back at USC, Texas, at Michigan State. Be Detroit Lions.'

Roy Williams

You see his confidence is growing every game, his throws are more on point, his timing with receivers is getting better. I think just now he's finally starting to get into that groove we all knew he had.

Matt Meinrod

We've run the ball a lot the last two years, but we're returning all of our top receivers, so we should be much more balanced.

Paul Castonia

They are the biggest trading nation, they are one of the biggest receivers of capital flows. If you are going to be a global policy- making organization and leave a huge player outside the framework, you aren't going to have much credibility.

Nicholas Lardy

I think Ole Miss is getting a great player and also a great individual. Jamison jumped in there and played well for us. I think he can play corner in college and cover those bigger receivers. He has great hips and moves well. He has good timing as far as playing the football.

Johnny Hill

I've never had a game like this in my life. All credit goes to my receivers. They just ran great routes, and when I had to scramble, they found ways to get open.

Brandon Martin

It wasn't Daunte. The receivers have to run good routes and give him clear throwing lanes.

Nate Burleson

I played well, but I still have a lot of guys to compete against. All three of our quarterbacks bring different aspects to the game. They're doing a great job of getting the ball to their receivers.

Bryan Anderson

These devices can disrupt normal operations of key cockpit instruments, especially Global Positioning System receivers, which are increasingly vital for safe landings.

Bill Strauss

I have a plan of creating a company. They have sprinting companies were they train people to be faster. Like wide receivers or baseball players.

Troy Irvine

The key to shutting down an offense is to shut down their receivers. If you shut down the passing game, their offense really doesn't have anything.

Justin Phinisee

In the first half, our wide receivers made some plays. In the second half, they didn't.

Daniel Sullivan

I don't think he was really able to get his timing down and get in sync with his receivers. We were changing things up and giving him a lot of different looks. It can be confusing. Obviously, it was confusing enough to make a difference today.

Kevin Carter

He's lined up behind some great receivers. But every time he's had an opportunity, he's done well.

Buddy Baker

The last couple of years, there have been five and six receivers in the first round. This year, I don't know if there's one definite guy.

Todd Watkins

The protection was there and the receivers were just running routes. When those two things combine, it's real easy, you don't have to make it look easy because it is. . . . It's just like playing catch in the back yard.

Connor Jostes

They have so many weapons. I think it's so unfair for you to just point out one. Obviously he's one of the most dominating receivers in the league. But you can't take away everything. You just have to go out there and do your best to contain these guys and hopefully we'll get a chance to make some big plays.

Rodney Harrison

Everybody was on the same page. The receivers ran good routes, the guys did a good job of blocking and it clicked. We started going five wide and they couldn't stick with our receivers.

Richie Williams

Chris (Chambers) is a good receiver, just like (New England's top wide receiver) Deion Branch. David is able to help his other receivers a lot and he also blocks well for running backs. So I think he'd be a nice fit.

Brad Blank

I know they have some great receivers. I'll try to do the same thing I've been doing. I was just looking for an opportunity, and I got it.

Charles Sharon

(Assistant) coach (Jon) Owen and I have been telling them since two-a-days that our offense is going to go as far as our receivers take it.

Joe Levens

It's mainly due to the receivers we have now. Teams are scared of them, and now we can run.

Levi Brown

I don't know if there is a combination of three receivers any better in the country. We have possession receiving, speed and scoring. It's a great combination.

Scotty Conley

We have to do our job as a team. The receivers have to be on the same page. The receivers, the offensive line, everybody has to make plays for him. He can't have all of the mistakes on his shoulders. We win together and we lose together, so we all have to improve for him.

Nate Burleson

The blocking on that set up possibly the most amazing run I ever had. Our receivers and our whole left side of the line just stepped it up and it was great communication between them.

Mark Elsaesser

I'm going to have to cover receivers. I'm already a run stopper. In college the receivers run 4.4 (40-yard dashes), so I'll have to work on my footwork.

Derron Smith

As you can see, once Michael gets into a groove his passing gets better. And that's our job as receivers, to start making catches and make him feel confident.

Deon Butler

I didn't expect that, but Gross ran the ball so well that I got a lot of time to throw the ball. They were respecting his running so much, that our receivers had time to get open.

Patrick Jackson

We've been working on our offensive line to be able to give Demetrius more time in the pocket. That way, he can have more time to get the ball to his receivers.

Lexie Spurlock

That move really opened up a lot of our other receivers. Corbin got open a few times and made some big plays.

Greg Mcelroy

He runs good routes, has great speed, and he's physical. He can break the game open. A lot of receivers, you can press them, and they won't be able to do anything. This guy, he thrives on that. He likes it when you put your hands on him. That's the difference between him and other great receivers.

Mike Rumph

It was kinda frustrating, but we pulled through, ... (The receivers) used it as motivation to get open quicker and run our routes a lot more crisp.

Byron Johnson

Wylie can throw it and they have four outstanding receivers.

Andrew Young

He struggled in the last couple of games. I'm just wondering if that's the reason why he's afraid to take any kind of chance whatsoever and as a result, in the last couple of games, a lot of the passes have been high over the receivers.

John Benedetto

Coach (Mike) Noll brought a lot of discipline with him from McHenry (his former coaching position) and has turned things around quicker than many people expected. They have some nice runners and good receivers. It should be a battle.

David Inserra

The guys blocked well for me and I wouldn't have gotten many of those yards without my O-line and the receivers-it was a team effort, ... And Ben Brown is one real tough boy-he's steel. That's what I call him, my steel man.

Roger Butler

I was really happy with everybody on offense. David made some great throws, the receivers made some great catches, the line opened up holes. We were playing from behind the whole game and they kept coming back. Very pleased with what they showed.

Mark Gould

They are not going to miss a beat. They graduated some kids, but they are going to be big up front and some of those receivers are back.

Tim Teykl

If you look at the returning marquee kids in the league ... [they] are tailbacks. A couple of years ago they were all wide receivers.

Al Bagnoli

The biggest thing is trusting your receivers.

John Stocco

If he gets out of the pocket, he is scary. The bottom line is getting to their quarterback. He can beat you with his feet, he is very accurate and he has some talented receivers (Brian Gambuzza, Greg Gillespie) who he works well with. We have to get to him, beat them up on the front lines, play aggressively and take it to them.

Brian Bowers

We had so many talented receivers, but our quarterback was being very rushed.

Jerome Stone

It was the same story the whole game. Their receivers got these (short) passes and then burned us for big gains.

Mike Singer

It was an opportunity for other receivers to step up, ... They did.

Chris Cooley

We match up our corners vs. wide receivers in everything we do. If it falls out that those two are hooked up, that's what it'll be. They move around so much and they put their guys in a lot of different positions.... They've got playmakers.

Bobby Allen

There were times I felt I could have gotten our receivers (in practice), but I know I can't do that. Hitting has always been natural to me. That's why I love games. I know if I see a receiver, I can go after him.

Landon Kafentzis

One of the best things Ben does is throw the fade. The fact that they were playing man-to-man on our best receivers is reason enough to throw it, even in the rain.

Wendell Early

Oh, we're most definitely concerned. You always are when somebody does something and does it well. They have possession receivers and a quarterback that does a good job. We're playing a team that can create big plays and we can't afford to let them have that.

Kenny Smith

I really like the two receivers right now, Brown and (Marcus) Smith. I'm very excited about them. There's some other great talent out there, and it's just a matter of time now to see how it develops.

Bob Toledo

DeAngelo competed well against one of the premier receivers in the NFL. T.O. had seven catches. You're not going to shut a guy like that down. But Hall was up for the challenge. He kept him out of the endzone. He stopped him when we had to stop him.

Jim Mora

We do have small receivers, but sometimes you need the big guy to go in there and get that block. I think it puts a little bit more pressure on myself and Ethan Kilmer.

Terrell Golden

He's having one of the best camps out of all the receivers. No, I'm not too surprised he's having a good camp.

Byron Leftwich

Football linemen are motivated by a more complicated, self- determining series of factors than the simple fear of humiliation in the public gaze, which is the emotion that galvanizes the backs and receivers.

Merlin Olsen

All season we've had a corps or receivers who are some of our best players, but we couldn't use them well. Now, we're able to get the ball to them.

Jerome Stone

They keyed on (Ratliff) a lot because they haven't seen me run too much this year. But it was a great game for me tonight. My receivers blocked good downfield too.

Sean Fortson

[And lurking at a concession stand nearby is the debate of whether there are enough footballs to keep all of the receivers happy.] That's on the quarterback, ... Ask Joey. Joey's got to spread (it) around.... All I can do is get open.

Charles Rogers

It is actually a balanced offense over there. Everyone talks about that they throw the ball with all the receivers they have, but they are just as proficient running the ball than they are passing.

Mickey Crouch

But it's on the receivers to spread defenses out and make the plays when the ball comes to them.

Joe Levens

I know what I did not like, and what formations gave me problems. We are a defensive team first, (but) we have some great receivers, and my quarterback, (Elliott), I praise him.

Derek Stingley

We have two receivers who are 6-foot-4, and 6-foot-5. We just don't have the depth we had before at receiver.

Tim Pierson

I thought our receivers did a good job. I don't remember us dropping too many passes. It was fun. It was fun to play somebody else.

Daryl Patton

He's made the biggest jump. He is night and day compared to what he was in the spring. He's the biggest surprise out of the whole crew of receivers.

Shawn Watson

I felt good (Saturday), ... The line gave me time, and our receivers made plays.

Dustin Almond

(Ryan) did a great job. He stayed composed. He read us very well. He didn't force any balls in there too much. He made some clutch throws and gave his receivers chances, and that's what makes a quarterback awesome.

Marty Tadman

Oh man. It has really surprised me. Obviously, we knew the potential these young guys had, but I'd be lying if I said I thought they'd come in and make this impact this early. Especially with these receivers.

Lorenzo Booker

They didn't want (Smith) to hold it very long because Mathis and Freeney and those guys, they're coming. That gives our back seven an opportunity to key in on receivers.

Cato June

With the field goal team out there, there were no defensive backs or wide receivers. You're out there with the big boys. I picked up some great blocks from everybody out there.

Nathan Vasher

He has a difficult time extending the play when the receivers are covered, and then he makes bad decisions. When Joey moves, he isn't seeing the field with clarity.

Ron Jaworski

Murray is a physical back and runs well. St. Mary's runs exclusively out of the shotgun. They like to spread the field with four receivers and create space for Murray to run.

Jason Tice

We had the wrong protections. We had blown reads by the quarterbacks. We had blown routes run by the receivers. We got to be perfect to be a good team.

Ahmand Tinker

Right now, we don't have him blowing up any receivers coming across the middle for obvious reasons. So, he will shine when it's live. He's got the experience. I know he's ready to do that. He's been just kind of holding back. Chomping at the bit, sort of. You'll see it.

Steve Mariucci

I see a lot of hard luck. I'm sure they're saying the same thing about us. They have some really outstanding receivers. They have the kind of players, if you're not focused on them, and if you don't game plan for them, who could really open the game up with some big plays.

Andy Smyth

We had a gold mine this year. We got almost everybody we wanted. We needed help on the line and big, physical receivers, and we got them.

Jim Leavitt

A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football.

Ray Lewis

We're going to run what we run. We're not going to install a lot of new stuff, but the receivers have been running this stuff all summer. I have high expectations for them.

Gary Barlow

It's not that I think I'm better than (other receivers), but you have to have confidence in yourself, ... I'm very confident.

Santonio Holmes

Sometimes I've been in a situation where I've had to play receivers too soon and that's not always good. A lot of times, if things don't go right, their confidence goes down and before you know it, you've got a problem.

Richard Mann

We've got to make him hurry. We have to make him a little uncomfortable in the pocket. We have to make sure we cover their receivers.

Gerry Keesling

When Jabar's healthy, he's one of the top slot (inside) receivers in the game. When he comes back, we know he's going to make a lot of big plays.

Dunta Robinson

I know I'm big enough. There are guys in the league smaller than me who are playing, so I'm positive that I'm big enough to take on the challenges of those bigger receivers.

Terence Newman

Our passing game had a connection today. Brandon had a really good game and the receivers did a good job of helping him out by holding onto the ball.

Chris Stanton

I've been doing a lot of studying with (receivers) coach (Ron) Lee, and that's helped me a lot.

Michael Washington

He's a talker, and he's competitive. That's what you like about him. I think he's one of the receivers that makes this offense go.

Justin Phinisee

Our offensive line did a great job blocking, and so did our receivers downfield. But Adams, I can't say enough about him. I had some huge holes up front and just followed them through.

Zac Sandvig

You know, some games it comes down to the receivers, some games it comes down to the quarterback and some it comes down to the DBs. But it is going to come down to who is more physical and who is making money on stopping the run or running the football.

Scott Schultz

He's a real good athlete. He can run the ball real well, and he gets the ball to his receivers, so he can hurt you in a lot of different ways.

Shawn Maguire

He's probably the most physical guy that I've played with, receiver-wise. When you watch receivers play sometimes you marvel at certain things. With his character and his approach to the game, he's going to be around a long time.

Joey Galloway

Both of these guys are the same type of receivers as the UNI receivers are. They're not the most physical when it comes to blocking. But . . . they can get downfield fast and they can make plays quick.

Jovon Johnson

You can try to gear up to stop me, but you still have to worry about the receivers. They've shown they can go out there and make plays.

Maurice Drew

Everybody in America said we had too many receivers in the rotation, nobody ever got a chance to get hot.

Robert Meachem

This is football, ... You're not supposed to sit out there and let wide receivers run open. This isn't track.

Quentin Jammer

I like what we have right now. After having no receivers, it's nice to have some options.

Matt Millen

We expected a playoff atmosphere in here, we got one, and we responded. It was a challenge, but I was ready for this. I go against some good receivers every day in practice.

Ike Taylor

The basic things; pass protection and run blocking. We had a back (Justine Buries) run for 117 yards. Our receivers are getting a little bit better.

Hal Mumme

I was trying to play two receivers at the same time. I forgot to stay on the good one.

David Irons

I know a lot of people see Jimmy Williams against our receivers as a mismatch. But we see it as, if you want to go one-on-one with our guys, well, we're going to try to go after that.

Hunter Cantwell

Offenses are spreading you out all over the field today. You see four and sometimes even five receivers on the field. The game is a little bit different - a lot different - than it was a number of years ago.

Dick Jauron

Jake has done a nice job, but all three of our receivers have, but people worry about Jake on the deep ball.

John Barton

It was disbelief. Most teams I've been on dress five receivers, six receivers.

Rod Gardner

It was just great blocking by the line and the receivers, I got a little tired.

Anthony Jordan

Muhammad has always been one of the best receivers in the league. He's a big, physical guy. He runs all the routes on the tree. He does a good job of creating separation.

Chris Mcalister

I can't say enough about him making that transition. He can be one of the top wide receivers (in the SWAC) on just talent alone.

Willie Totten

Our tight ends work as much with the line as they do with receivers and backs. I've been pretty pleased with his progress in practice. He'll have some problems here and there at the beginning, but he is a big target who can also catch the ball.

Mike Hidde

It takes everybody, it's 11 guys. Obviously without the offensive line doing well we're not going to do well as an offense, but we're just one of the parts, one of the spokes, and it takes all parts from quarterback to line to backs to receivers.

Trey Teague

Without Moss, Daunte has a few more options. He always had his four or five obligatory passes to No.84. I think it's freed him up a little bit. In preseason, he hit a lot of different receivers and he had a lot of success with it.

Ronde Barber

I can't separate myself from them; what kind of leader would that be? Also, that's my position. I can't separate myself from that. I'm going to be in everybody's ear from (quarterback) Brad (Smith) to a defensive back or whoever. But my guys who are wide receivers, I'm going to be in their ear the most because that's who I'm with. I'd never abandon those guys.

Sean Coffey

He's just being more aggressive and more confident. The receivers and quarterback have taken a lot of flak, but they're a lot more confident and they're having fun out there, which is a good sign.

Mike Flynn

We try to give them to players who are in the most high-level contact situations, like the quarterback, receivers, running backs and linebackers. But the No. 1 priority is someone who had a concussion previously.

John Castellano

I felt like Rhett started to get some rhythm and confidence in what he was doing, ... Our receivers made some nice plays, and that part of it, I feel like we're getting somewhere.

Bob Stoops

I'd love to give each of (the receivers) the same number of throws, but I have to go through my reads, and see what's open.

Colt Brennan

They have a lot of good athletes. They have a good quarterback, good receivers and a good tailback.

Robbie Blanton

Christian played with a lot of confidence. He was very impressive in this game. He stayed in the pocket and hit his receivers well.

Bob Mcallister

I'm pretty sure those receivers would like more deep balls. As a team we don't worry about the calls, we've got to go out there and execute. We can't sit back and say it's because of the deep ball.

Ben Troupe

Sometimes you'll see Derrick and guys are on him and you got man coverage on Deon. He's gonna get open. People are gonna have a lot of trouble trying to cover our receivers this year.

Tony Hunt

Thompson was regarded as one of the best receivers in the AIFL. He would have been in contention for the league's MVP last season if not for an injury that forced him to sit out the last 5 games.

Brent Williams

We have to have the receivers. You have to have somebody who can catch the ball. We're not going to throw the football, just to throw the ball. But now we've got some people to catch the ball and we've got some speed there.

Russ Radtke

I don't ever see that on film. I see the same guy. His last couple games -- that kind of speaks for itself. And you can't forget last year. He had 4,000 yards and two 1,000-yard receivers.

Corey Chavous

Some quarterbacks and receivers, they're just 'Hey, what's up, and all of that.' But it's kind of different for me. But hopefully I'll get it.

Terry Glenn

I definitely have to tell my receivers I didn't realize how strong they had to be. You have to be in impeccable condition out there.

Ryan Hart

I'm anxious to see what our young receivers can do, man-on-man coverage, because I know teams aren't going to respect us at first.

Michael Robinson

I'm one of the main guys to come across the middle, because I'm one of the bigger receivers. Now that he's here, he helps, because it's easier for me to come across too. It's a lot easier knowing I don't have to be the main person going across. It just makes us a complete team now, because we have the speed with Donnie (Gilbert) and Joe (Edouards) and us up the middle.

Jack Morris

The thing that stands out the most to me is the skill level. The receivers can run, the backs are outstanding. The quarterback Richie (Williams) does so many things.

Kevin Higgins

We had our receivers in the backfield. We had some missed routes because we had to plug different kids into there.

Fred Davis

Chuck has always been gifted, but he's much more disciplined. He attended some camps, got a good look at what great wide receivers look like and has been working his tail off. John Baldwin is a super possession receiver with good feet and great balance. They complement each other very well.

Tim Barthel

Once I started dropping back, I just saw green grass. All receivers were covered so I just took it.

Wes Marshall

I don't care if there are 6-5 receivers out there. We still have to cover and if they make a catch, we still have to tackle and we didn't do a very good job of that.

Cameron Jensen

I think our running game is as good as ever. It's very potent. Everybody in the unit cares about it ? the line, receivers, everybody. I think we're going to be pretty potent.

Kyle Johnson

I haven't been playing very well, so this was a little refreshing. The offensive line did a great job. I had plenty of time to see the field. The receivers were getting open, and we had a running game going. Everybody was doing the right things.

Tony Gomez

We're harder to defend this year because we're throwing the ball with more success, we have some good receivers and the line is protecting well.

Brian Cross

We had opportunities to get the ball to the receivers.

Brandon Jones

The receivers are an integral part of the passing game.

Hank Stram

Everything seemed like it was clicking, ... The whole line was blocking, the receivers were blocking downfield and the backs were blocking. Everything was just going right.

Tim Horton

In every meeting I've ever been in, the quarterbacks and receivers sit with each other and the quarterbacks coach is constantly directing things at those guys and they're constantly going over details.

Ron Jaworski

I don't know if there's been a better receiver than (Race) since I've been here. And as a group, this could be the best group of receivers we've ever had.

Ted Jackson

With so many teams going to taller receivers, Ashton physically has a chance to compete with those guys because of his size and athletic ability. He has the hips, the footwork and the flexibility that you look for in smaller corners, but he's big and physical.

Kyle Rice

[The quarterbacks and receivers are so complimentary of each other nowadays, it's pretty scary.] If I get open, he'll make the right read and if he throws it to another guy, then he's open, ... He goes through his progressions nicely. He's definitely a different guy.

Anthony Russo

Of course, I'm going to try to put on some more weight. But I can handle the physical aspect of it. I'm fast enough to cover receivers, and I'm strong enough to blitz.

Tommie Campbell

[Receivers coach] Billy Gonzales is the toughest grader on the staff and he didn't feel Chad blocked very well. There is more to it than just catching the ball.

Urban Meyer

They are going to have a pretty good football team by the time the season is over. I was really impressed with their quarterback and their receivers. They threw and caught the ball extremely well. They are going to get better every week, too.

Don Shows

With that spread offense, we know we are going to have to play a lot of nickel and dime defense and we are going to have to be ready to have our linebackers running all over the field chasing all those receivers.

Chris Harrell

There's a lot of exciting stuff in there for the receivers. We've got a chance to make some big plays.

Travis Brown

(Jacobs) has two receivers that are going to get a shot at pro ball and have the ability to play. They're averaging over 100 yards a game in receptions. They have a combination of things that makes it very hard to stop.

Frank Solich

I liked (Ole Miss') coaches. They were great and they just got the offensive coordinator from Miami (Dan Werner). That's a big plus because Miami had a pretty good team. And none of the receivers that caught balls last year are coming back.

Duke Calhoun

(Their passing game) did surprise me just a little bit, ... I thought their quarterback had an excellent game. He executed their game plan well. He hit the key receivers at the time that they needed it.

David Thompson

It will be a big matchup. I'm sure Rocky believes they've got a great matchup there. They've got talented receivers and that's got to be a big part of their game plan.

Bob Green

Chicks dig the long ball. The wide receivers have always been prima donnas and pretty boys. They are big-time players. The thing with Owens is he makes so much noise, it's like an empty wagon going down the road. Just go play.

Warren Sapp

We play with so much energy and speed. When the ball is thrown, we're like piranhas. We're attacking the ball carrier, attacking the receivers, trying to inflict as much pain and play with as much energy as we can. A lot of it is an attitude.

Ron Meeks

Theroretically, I think W&J is better than it was last year. I know all about their receivers and other skill players. It's a great challenge for us.

Don Montgomery

We found that the risk posed by these portable devices is higher than previously believed. These devices can disrupt normal operation of key cockpit instruments, especially Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, which are increasingly vital for safe landings.

Bill Strauss

The quarterbacks and the coaches feel comfortable that all of our receivers, probably even six to seven deep, can get the job done. Everyone's looking good in camp and the more the merrier. I think it's going to work really well.

Eric Kettenhofen

The key to offense is [receivers] quickly coming out of breaks, and he can stay with them where a lesser athlete might be off a few steps. He has that burst in transition and then he can make it up.
