Defense Quotes
-
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.

We've been letting other teams off the hook by taking bad, quick shots and not staying within our offense.

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.

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.

But now for Christianity. Yes, the person who defends that has never believed in it.
Soren Kierkegaard
