Quotes about ricky (16 Quotes)




    Honestly, I don't pay attention to all of that stuff. Ricky and I talk about it all the time - we're complements. I don't feel under-appreciated by my team, and that's my family, they appreciate the job I do. They believe in me and I believe in them.

    James was back there on a vacation, ... He was one of my favorite guitar players. I had written this song ('I'll Make Believe') that everyone said sounded like a good song for Ricky Nelson. I gave it to James. He took it back to Los Angeles and then called me and said, 'Hey, that song you gave me, I played it for Ricky and he likes it. He's gonna record it.' I went, 'Wow.' That was a big deal at the time because Elvis was in the Army and Ricky was the top guy.








    I'll take the pressure off Ricky, ... I'll take the bullets for Ricky right now. When we made the trade, one of the first things I told him was, 'We've got Pro Bowlers on defense. You don't have to be the center of attention here. The media and the fans are going to try and make you that. But understand that's not how we're looking at it. We're not bringing you in here because we haven't been able to win any games here.'

    I call him 'Pretty Ricky,' ... I like him because he's one of those guys, he plays hard. If you pull him aside and try to help him, he's willing to learn. He's very attentive and he asks questions. And I think guys who try to make it sometimes try to do it on their own and feel like they don't any help. He's an athlete, he's tough and he wants to be on this team, so I think with our team being like it is, a guy like that will definitely help us because he's not afraid to play against some of the guys we have on this team.


    Yeah, we'd like to pursue it, to see if there is real interest on Williams' part, but right now we're just kind of kicking the tires. We'd like to see what's going on with Ricky, where his interests are right now, and determine if there's something mutual there. Right now, it's still early in the process, and we don't have any answers yet. But we're going to try to get some.


    I think we've seen a few glimpses of that with Ricky and myself both being in the backfield at the same time, ... Ricky's had success on this level. For myself, it's good being in a game with somebody that can draw attention and take a little bit of attention away from me.
