You get hit the hardest when trying to run or hide from a problem. Like the defense on a football field, putting all focus on evading only one defender is asking to be blindsided.

We said, ‘We cannot leave her open’. We went to our match up [defense], [they’re] cutting through, she’s left wide open.

Love’ is the only weapon I have, I will defend with love, I will attack with love.

My heart goes out to some of those rather hostile yet highly intelligent individuals who may see problems really because they have solutions. That hostility is learned in defense; not offense. An often stubborn and...

The proposed unilateral national missile defense would have serious implications for the NPT regime,

We just lost our intensity. The whole game, we played great defense, trying to slow them down and keep them in front of me. We just slipped up on a couple of plays at the...

I don’t see a lot of weaknesses in the Alabama defense. They run just a basic good, old-fashioned defense, which they execute it real well. I think the strength of that team is the fact...

They must have talked about playing some (defense) at halftime because second half they came out and played a whole different kind of ‘D’ than we saw in the first half. They were out in...

I was trying to find a combination of guys dedicated to hustling and playing defense. But you expend twice as much energy to catch up, then you’re exhausted. We took a couple ill-advised shots at...

When the other team only scores three goals, it’s always a positive for the defense. I thought we played a solid game defensively, played with confidence.

We really turned up the defense in the second quarter and got after them. That was the turning point.

I think we have improved ourselves in all of those areas, … We’re working on offense, defense, and special teams, like we always do.

There is no doubt about it, both teams pride themselves on defense. It’s not going to be a high-scoring game. It’s going to be that type of series.

Maybe we got through some of the nervousness. But I thought my girls played defense the way we have all year.

And let’s just be honest, there is no such place called ‘justice,’ if by that we envision a finish line, or a point at which the battle is won and the need to continue the...

We have to eliminate mental errors. We need a good defensive effort and a good strong defense.

We had some good moments of team defense, but there’s nothing really to get too excited about, … I thought the big guys really tried. They’re making a conscious effort to improve.

We’ve had to work hard for everything we’ve gotten offensively all season. Our defense has been outstanding. But we’ve had points where you can’t hold teams to zero. You need some offensive pressure of your...

They run a lot on offense so we’ve got to play hard on transition defense.

Your best defense is going to be a security freeze. A freeze prevents access to your credit report to new creditors. This closes a loophole that identity thieves have exploited, since most businesses will not...

I thought our defense was starting to figure them out. We like to play fast, but I thought we were playing slow because we were trying to figure out where the ball is.

It’s great for us. We’ve just got to keep playing defense and play even better if we want to win the whole thing. I think we can do it.
