Defense Quotes
-
Brian threw the ball real well. He was very accurate today and I thought he did his best job of reading and taking what the defense gave us because they played us a little bit different than we thought they would coverage-wise, dropped guys a little deeper, blitzed us more on first down. So they had a pretty good plan coming in and we had to adjust a little bit.
Bobby Petrino
-
He can provide offense, and yet he knows when he has to be relied on to play solid, physical defense.
Walt Kyle

I need NOW's defense like a fish needs a bicycle. I don't want them to defend me.
Sarah Palin
-
Outsiders develop humor as a defense; why do you think most comedians are gay or Jewish?
Paul Lynde
-
St. Peter, on my judgment day, will not ask me about the B-2 or my defense votes. He will ask me about my vote to protect innocent human life.
Bob Dornan
-
Defense is on the fly, it's reactive; you have to react to the offense. I have to prevent someone from doing something when they want to do it.
Charles Tillman
-
To defend something is always to discredit it. Let a man have a warehouse full of gold, let him be willing to give away a ducat to every one of the poor - but let him also be stupid enough to begin this charitable undertaking of his with a defense in which he offers three good reasons in justification; and it will almost come to the point of people finding it doubtful whether indeed he is doing something good. But now for Christianity. Yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.
Soren Kierkegaard
-
To just come down and cough it up after you've played decent defense for most of the game... it's deflating for them and what we're trying to build.
Brett Brown
-
I am very worried about Oaxaca ... we are activating the whole civil defense apparatus as always.
Ernesto Zedillo
-
In order for us to stay in the game, we had to figure out how to slow them down. The first thought was defensive transition. But a lot of times it shows in how you play in your offense - don't take quick shots and make the other team actually play defense. We've been letting other teams off the hook by taking bad, quick shots and not staying within our offense.
Edward Charles Ford
-
You know who doesn't get the death penalty? Crazy people. That's a defense in America. My client's crazy. He doesn't know what he did. Fine, then he doesn't know we're gonna kill him. If a guy's that retard, you put him the electric chair and tell him it's a ride.
Bobby Slayton
-
Nullification is not a 'defense' recognized by law, but rather a mechanism that permits a jury, as community conscience, to disregard the strict requirements of law where it finds that those requirements cannot justly be applied in a particular case.
David L. Bazelon
-
I think if they were any better, if they had held onto the ball a couple of times, we could have been in strife. Our defense was brilliant.
Anton Oliver
-
Self defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish; the immediate gift of the Creator, obliges everyone to resist the first approaches of tyranny.
Elbridge Gerry
-
I know only that in my belief in Adolf Hitler I put all my strength at the disposal of my people. As a German soldier I could only put myself at the service of the defense against those destructive forces which had once brought Germany close to the abyss, and which today, after the collapse of the Reich, are still threatening the world. If I have made mistakes in my work through a false conception of obedience, if I carried out orders, all of which, insofar as they are alleged to be cardinal orders, were issued before my time of office, then they are part of a fate which is stronger than myself and which is carrying me along with it. I am accused here because substitutes are needed for the missing Himmler and other elements which were completely contrary to me. Whether my point of view and explanation are accepted or rejected, I ask you not to connect the fate and honor of hundreds of thousands of the living and dead of the General SS, of the Waffen-SS, and of the civil servants who, believing in their ideal, bravely defended, their Reich to the last, with your just curse against Himmler. Like myself, they believed that they were acting according to law.
Ernst Kaltenbrunner
-
It matters, your game plan. But in the end, there are a lot of ways to play defense, and there are a lot of ways to run or throw the football. If you don't block anybody, I don't care what your grand scheme is, if that nose guard is in your backfield three yards, it doesn't matter.
Bob Stoops
-
You have to be out there and have a mound presence. You have to be real aggressive and be real confident. You have to put the hitters on defense.
Eric Gagne
-
For me, all I want to do is win. Whether I make a hundred tackles or one tackle, all I want to do is win and for the defense to perform well.
Rolando McClain
-
We had enough offense to win this basketball game. We just didn't have enough defense.
Dan Monson
-
We have to stop thinking we're a good defense and start stepping up and do it. Two plays killed us. No excuses.
Brian Urlacher
-
I think the more aggressive I am on defense helps me to get easier buckets and get in a good grove.
Baron Davis
-
There are lots of different ideas, lots of different opinions about the First Amendment Defense Act and what it should be. There were a lot of different forms of it while I was on the Hill. But I would say that I agree that the decision on gay marriage does mean that we need to take some steps to defend religious liberty.
Evan McMullin
-
If a war be undertaken...before the resources of peace have been tried and proved vain to secure it, that war has no defense, it is a national crime.
Charles Eliot Norton
