If you are going to have to play defense all the time, you cannot have the kind of ingenuity, assertiveness, independence, and intelligence which is what has made our country strong.

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

Go back through football, and you will see that the team with the best defense wins.

My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.

For me, it is very important to control a situation in defence. You can always score goals, but you have to add stability in the defence.

But as far as I'm concerned, I can still play defense.

You have to play defense, that's how you win.

I like every aspect of defense; I enjoy shutting down the offense.

To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.

I'm a running coach and I am going to continue to run, but I would hope that we are better defensively.
