“Flat-out flatness, the hard line of the horizon. I like the little towns with their handfuls of buildings huddled close to the grain elevators, like medieval towns clustered around their cathedrals.”
Gordon Webber
“I was able to talk to him in the huddle, and he always practiced hard and he always played hard, ... So it wasn't a distraction. But he never spoke to me off the field that year. It was a little weird.”
Roger Staubach
“He's got great presence on the field, in the huddle, at the line. Even when there's pressure around him in the pocket, even with six or seven people (rushing) and he's got to get rid of it, Brandon always looks like he's in control. That's the sign of a good quarterback.”
Tommy Tuberville
“We've worked hard with our look teams about when they break the huddle, getting the ball snapped within eight to 10 seconds. These guys come up to the line of scrimmage and they're gone. It's different. We've worked on it all week. The guys are getting a sense of what the tempo is like.”
Bill Cowher
“There's a lot of pressure on our quarterback. We run a no-huddle offense, and he makes all the line calls. He decides which direction our runs go.”
Noah Fehrenbach
“The biggest thing on the no huddle is you've got to get lined up quickly and you've got to communicate, ... It's hard to simulate that during the course of practice when you're holding up cards and still showing them plays but our defense has talked about it since day one of training camp. We've worked on it hard for the last 10 days.”
Mike Shula
“I wanted to take the crowd out of the game. This was a no-huddle offense, but this was not a hurry-up offense. They're two different things. This was so that I didn't have to have guys not hear the play in the huddle. It was just so that we could take the noise out of the game.”
Charlie Weis
