His experience and work ethic is a wonderful example for the rest of this squad. This is a very professional bunch of players and I am confident in our team spirit - we will be well prepared for the task at hand.

He?s a good kid, works hard and has a good work ethic. You look in our clubhouse and he fits in very well.

We have many tools at our disposal, not the least of which is the creativity and work ethic of the people of Maine, ... We have time to prepare for the base closing, but we must move ahead quickly.

We're a team that our work ethic has to be 100 percent, our concentration has to be 100 percent and our desperation has to be 100 percent.

My biggest question wasn't about the organization, the work ethic, none of the things that have been part of Joe's life. My biggest question had to do with how he would adapt and adjust to calling plays in a different time in football.

Danny deserves what he gets because he works at it, he practices, he's got the work ethic. He's at another level.
