Famous quotes by Jon Brockman:
"There's always going to be people who question you. I stay away from Internet sites that talked about that."
"You've got to just push all that stuff out of your mind and focus on the game."
"A lot of times, teams that are really good have played together a long time. They know what the other player is going to do. We haven't had time to do that. So, over the next couple of months, that's going to improve."
"I have a little headache still, but I'm a little more coherent today. With a full day's rest, I'll be fine by (Saturday's game)."
"I kind of remember sitting up and walking over to the bench. I don't remember the play or anything like that."
"I don't remember much of the second half. I really don't remember the play. I don't remember who hit me, how he got the ball, if he had the ball."
"When I was younger, in middle school, Arizona was the team. It was 'Arizona, Arizona, Arizona.' Me and my buddies would be in the backyard pretending to be Arizona. It's going to be a fun game."
"I don't know what's going on. I'm just going to keep going after it. I know I'm going to get hit again. It's sure not going to be the last time. It's just how I've always played."
"I was just trying to make myself more confident and more aggressive and to get involved. Because the person passing the ball has to have confidence that you are going to do something with it. They have to believe that their pass is going to be worthwhile."
"The only problem we could run into would be ourselves. If we come out and bring it the way we know we can, I don't think we'll have a problem."
