As it turned out, I guess that onside kick wasn't the best thing to open the half, but I was looking for some spark to get our emotion going and allow us to compete, ...

Ryan Crawford

Our entire front row is (6-foot-2 or taller), and we put up a huge block against everybody. Most of the time when we block right, they're not going to be able to get it over with authority. It's going to be a roll shot or a tip to the corner. You've got to have guys back there who are on the same page and ready to get the ball back to the setter.

Jerome Bettis

No question, I think it's a lot easier when there's no expectations. We know what that feels like to have that pressure on you and we came out and said, 'Hey, it's us against everybody.'

Shawn Stenger

Rain isn't our deal, but we came out and it didn't bother us. We moved the ball around pretty well in the first half.

Tim Ford

Our defense played awfully well. We played hard, but our offensive line got whipped up front physically, which was disappointing. Our defense was the key. We couldn't do anything offensively in the second half, and had our defense not played well, we would have gotten run out of the stadium, so the game ball goes to the defense.

Nick Holt

Offensively, you can't give up seven sacks. You can't have nine (sic) tackles for loss. You've got to protect your quarterback better. You've got to run the ball better than minus-4 yards. You've got to be less predictable on second down. They are well-coached on defense. They got after us and they did exactly what you should do.

Any time a player goes from one system to another, one thing that could be a problem is breaking old habits. It's not that you don't understand what the new responsibilities or plays are, but just the fact that you've been doing something a long time - it's a habit - and that's not what's required in the other system. And that means kind of undoing something before you can even start to do something new.

Being a goalkeeper gives you quite a unique perspective on things. You are part of a team yet somehow separate; there are no grey areas, with success or failure being measured in real time; and you have a physical job which you can only do well by paying attention to your mental well-being. A great goalkeeper has to have the keys to a great mindset. To be able to work well in the box, I believe you have to be able to think outside the box

Vandana Shiva

If you want a cow to be not just a cow but a milk machine, you can do a very good job at that by creating new hormones like the Bovine Growth Hormone. It might make the cow very ill, it might turn it into a drug addict, and it might even create consumer scares about the health and safety aspects of the milk. But we've gotten so used to manipulating objects and organisms and ecosystems for a single objective that we ignore the costs involved. I call this the "monoculture of the mind."
