Barry Sims Quotes

That would be great to run the ball the way we want to. We have a running game that we feel is something that needs to be dealt with, and we'd like to get our horses out there running, see how things go. - Barry Sims

That pretty much summarizes the way our whole season went. We need to make plays when they need to be made in all three phases of the game. We need to come back with this feeling we have from this season to drive us. - Barry Sims

Looking at everyone in the huddle, I had no doubt that we were going to go down and score a touchdown. It seemed like an eternity when the ball was in the air. - Barry Sims

It's real important to be able to do that. That was definitely a way to do it. If you look at Atlanta, they were able to run the ball and were able to come out with a victory (14-10 in the opener). So it definitely is a key to it. You can't step back and throw the ball 40 times and expect to come out of there with a win. We're going to have to be able to run the ball, mix it up. - Barry Sims

It's a lot different, because everybody stayed together and fought together. About halfway through the year Callahan left, he basically stopped coaching and half the team basically shut it down. That wasn't the case with this team. The coaches fought right up to the end, and the players did the same. - Barry Sims

I think we have the same potential to run the ball as well as that team. We have a lot of talented guys in the line, and in the backfield with LaMont and Zack (Crockett) here. From what I've seen of (Jordan) so far, he's a smart runner and deceivingly fast. He ran away from the whole Kansas City defense two weeks ago. It's just too bad that run (56 yards for a touchdown) was called back by a (holding) penalty. But we have faith in his ability. Everybody has to take the blame. We have to block better, do a lot of things better. - Barry Sims

I remember I didn't play very well, made a lot of mental mistakes. I heard about it from the coaches. But it was exciting. - Barry Sims

I like watching Zack run. As long as you stay out of his way, you're good. - Barry Sims

He looks like he's more patient in there now. He's making good decisions and not forcing the ball as much. We'll take it. - Barry Sims

Adam is a really good center, so we didn't feel like we missed a beat when Jake went down. He came in, knew all the calls to make and did a good job. - Barry Sims
