Yards don't matter. The score is all that matters.
Getting in field-goal range isn't that tough.
On one-on-one, I'm either trying to get the first down or trying to score.
If I scramble, I might get 5, 10, 15, 20 yards, but I'm not that fast. I always want to get it to the guys that can make plays.
Statistically, the teams are getting the chunk plays - the explosives - are the teams that are going produce more yards and more points.
I've always coached energy, hustling, rushing to the pile, and if it is wiggling, you do hit it because guys are fighting for yardage, and sometimes, you've got to give up the ball because of one inch.
My first years on tour, I tried to be super professional by considering the yardages to every feature and hazard. Over time my caddie and I noticed I play better when we keep it simple. Think about the distance you want the ball to fly, and only that number.
Inches matter. That's why they measure first downs. That's why they have a crew down there with those chains.
I had 1,000 yards when I played on plantar fasciitis before.
I guess it's a good thing to do, but people go for 1,000 yards every year, so it's not really a big thing.
At USC, if you're running back there, and you do gain you over 1,500 yards, people see you as a candidate, but not one of the top ones.
In life or in football, touchdowns rarely take place in seventy yard increments. Usually it's three yards and a cloud of dust.
Ultimately, a running back has to get rid of tacklers without his blockers being a part of it.
Our impatience of miles, when we are in a hurry; but it is still best that a mile should have seventeen hundred and sixty yards.
Anytime that anyone can create some explosive plays, get first downs, we're going to have more plays on offense.
There will be plays where you've got to just lower your shoulder and get 1 yard.
We all want to thank Emmitt for allowing us to enjoy every yard.
As long as I can stay north or south, I'm gaining yards.
I think time of possession is overrated, unless you are scoring.
The whole key about the no-huddle is getting first downs because if you're getting three-and-out, it kind of defeats the purpose.
I don't think the philosophy really changes between men and women. I think golf courses need to become more distance-friendly overall. I think golf courses almost need to develop a more generic set of tees instead of calling them black, blue, red or whatever.
Many shots are spoiled at the last instant by efforts to add a few more yards.
Touchdowns to me means that you're scoring points and helping your team win games. You can have a lot of yards and not have points and not win games. So, this only means something because it has helped our teams win games and we won the division today in a competitive AFC West, that's a good thing.
Defenses usually are trying to take away the guys who are getting a lot of catches earlier in the season.
