“Defensively, it's just going to come down to tackling. When it is all said and done, that's the basis of defensive football. If we do a good job of tackling, then we'll do well.”
Shane Patrick
“That's the key for most defenses. Your job as a defensive tackle is to make sure those guys are untouched. Dan Morgan is like my quarterback. If he's untouched and making plays, then I'm doing a great job. If you're disruptive inside, you can let a guy like Dan Morgan fly to the ball, you're going to have some success.”
Brentson Buckner
“[Defensively, the Wasps played shorthanded, missing both starting defensive tackles and playing several first-year players in the secondary, a fact that didn’t bode well against W&J’s shotgun formation and spread offense.] We played extremely tough at first, before they figured out what we were doing, ... We had to play a totally different style of defense with only three tackles.”
Don Montgomery
“Your good defenses are the ones that tackle well. Baltimore, New England ... you don't see them missing too many tackles. Tampa Bay used to be that way but no more.”
Carl Banks
“We adjusted defensively, but it comes down to blocking and tackling, and when he got a full head of steam going, that's a load.”
Rief Gilg
“When a management team with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.”
