Defensive guys don't really understand. It's totally different for offense. Defensive guys are convinced they know us but they just don't understand. Quarterbacks have so much that they have to read and adjust to. They have to look at everybody on the defense. It's totally different for the offense.
I find the game mentally challenging and really enjoy the chess match that occurs every week between the offense and the opposing defense.
In high school, you don't play much defense. It's mostly offense. In college, it's vice versa, and that's what I tried to do.
It's one of those things: we've got guys that are very offensive and can take down anyone, and we've got guys that don't shoot at all but are very hard to take down. It's one of those things. You've got to decide what you're good at.
Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.
You can't play to not lose.
A lot of the better offenses sacrifice defense to be a good offense and I'm not interested in doing that.
When have you ever seen a one on one match up on this platform? Andrew Luck on offense…going against J.J. Watt
I don’t use a ring of any kind on my phone. This is so that I am always on offense and never defense.
If seven or eight players play offensively, then it's clear that the offensive force is greater than the defensive stability. That's what I often say internally.
I don't like the designated hitter. A guy who plays should be able to catch and hit.
When the lights go out at a power plant sometime in the future, we're going to know that that's a consequence of deprioritizing defense for the sake of an advantage in terms of offense.
A lot of guys are offensive minded, which is good at some points and times but bad at others - at lots of others. I wish I could say I want everybody to play defense as hard as I do. It's not a reality.
Obviously, people say offense wins games, defenses win championships. But I think, at the end of the day, if you score more points than the other team, you're going to win.
