Grobe, Jim Filmography

Famous quotes by Jim Grobe:

"(Randolph) has made our quarterback position a horse race, and he didn't have to do that. He could have sulked about it and he has made it a great competition. If we had either quarterback out there for us, I wouldn't worry about it one bit."

"I thought a win last week was pretty important and we didn't get it. Any win for us right now is important. Every team we play here down the stretch, if we're going to have any kind of season at all, is important. Our players understand that."

"At that point I thought that if we got off the field and give it back to the offense, it was going to get real interesting."

"We dialed up the exact call we needed. We hit him right as he threw."

"What an impressive football player. I don't think there's going to be any problem getting him on the field from now on."

"We've got two good running backs. We need to use both of them. We'll probably go game to game and make that decision."

"You don't have to be the guy who makes us win. (But) you cannot be the guy who gets us beat. Young guys always have trouble learning that fine line between being an aggressive player and being a smart enough player that you don't put us in a bind."

"He wants every play to be a home run. There's a sense where, as a coach, you want a quarterback who feels that way ... but at the same time you want a guy who makes sure that his No. 1 priority is to take care of the football."

"Any time you're not successful there's added pressure. But that's not bad. That's the way it should be. If there's not a lot of pressure on our guys to win right now, I'd be disappointed."

"We're evolving right now. I wish I could tell you what [kind of offense] we are, but I'm not sure even we have that nailed down."
