Myles Garrett Quotes

As a cornerback, you only get probably about 5 chances to really impact the game.

It's not just about your name. It's about what you do for your team and your value on the defensive end of the court. That's all that matters.

Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.

My object is to stop the guy with the ball before he gains another inch.

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

I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football.

In football, time and space are the same thing.

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

This is football, and one cannot be distracted at any moment because the opposition can put you in difficulty and compromise a result.

First thing, and it's really one of my favorite things, is the protection part. Who everybody is blocking and where the pressure is coming from. Because if we can't get the ball off, it doesn't matter what you're doing out here.

Anytime I can get in there, playing every now and then, and contribute some way, whether it's throwing out a guy or calling a good game or getting a hit and RBI, it's big.

It's something that I have to learn to do: affect the game in a different way. If I don't get it on the offensive end, try to get it on the defensive end.

I'm always getting doubled; I just have to find ways to beat it. Can't use that as an excuse. Still got to get to the quarterback someway, somehow.

Oftentimes, the post safety will eye me up pre-snap a lot of times and know where I am.

I want to have an impact on the game. Instead of a sack, how about an interception for a touchdown? I could get 15 tackles. I'm just using those as examples, but any kind of impact would be fine, whether it's a sack or anything else.

I'm really trying to work on my defensive positioning.

I think my wingspan helps me out on defense, because I can cover a little more ground and block a few more shots.

I know if I'm playing centre-back, there are certain places where you don't give your full-back the ball - because I've been the full-back!

We're defenseless, I know we play defense, but we're defenseless when we're not looking at the guy who's blocking us or when the guy's come out and cut out our knees from underneath us.

Defense, in the game, is something that I just really enjoy. Some people enjoy assisting the ball. Some people like to score, score, score, but to me the first thing that comes up is defense.

When you haven't got the ball, while we're defending, sometimes I am not always where I need to be.

Attacking is the tough part in football; defending is relatively easy.

I don't want to be making tackles.

Until that moment comes when the ball comes to me every time, I have to find a way to be effective with offensive rebounds, play hard defense, blocking shots.

Getting to the halfbacks is a big part of any game.
