I think you always try to put the offense in the best position to make good plays, which usually requires us to move multiple people around and give them an opportunity to impact a game in a lot of different ways.

We have to back each other up no matter what. Defense, you have to do your job, and offense has to do theirs.

I have three Defensive Players of the Year. Only one other player has done that. But being a defensive lineman, it's hard to control the game.

It takes a very tough man to play defensive line at any level of football, but to be able to do it on a Division 1 level, or a professional level, it takes that intensity, that aggression, and you have to be tough.

Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

Big plays are such a huge factor in the outcome of games. It is so difficult to go the distance on a defense.

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

I feel like with me being a big part of any offense, then the numbers are going to come.
