Enemy Lines

an opposing coach's view

'The first thing I think about is how hard I they play defensively. It sometimes hides the fact that they are very inexperienced up front....

A lot of people don't know about DWAYNE JONES, but he's a really good shot blocker and very mobile. I look for him to come into his own this year....

Pat Carroll is the perfect complement to JAMEER NELSON and DELONTE WEST because when they break down defenses, he's often left wide open, and he's such a terrific shooter. You want to make him put the ball on the floor....

Nelson is a warrior. The bigger the stakes, the better he is. He's the only guy in our league who can put his team on his back and carry it to victory.'
