Bobby Knight told me this: 'There is nothing that a good defense cannot beat a better offense.' In other words a good offense wins.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have to back each other up no matter what. Defense, you have to do your job, and offense has to do theirs.
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.
Go back through football, and you will see that the team with the best defense wins.
Many activists and antagonists who are on the wrong side of an issue employ the tactic of, 'the best defense is a good offense.'
A good football team plays offense and defense. You have to be aggressive and disrupt.
So I'd rather have a defense that's successful where everyone's comfortable in their positions.
To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.
Installing a new offense is harder than a new defense. It just takes time.
Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.
You have to play defense, that's how you win.
