We got back on defense and actually ran set plays correctly, ran our motion offense better and shot better.

When you go back to last year and look at both teams, their defense presented the biggest problem for us. They’re so solid that you have to do things right against them, and when the...

This game will be a lot tougher. If we just play the defense like we played the last time, maybe a little harder, we should be OK.

As of right now, I’m more worried about the defensive end. Offense comes when you play good defense, so my main goal is just not let her score as much as she usually does, not...

Boll is playing hurt right now, but I need her on defense.

The best thing about the weekend was how we played in our defense zone. Our coverage was great. That was the thing I was most worried about go in, and we tightened it up tremendously.

They were playing really well. They were hustling more than we were. We weren’t playing as well on defense as we normally do. That was bothering us. That’s usually our backbone.

The defense was the key tonight and our offense was our offense of old. Because we scored early, I was able to be more aggressive and wasn’t afraid to throw the first-pitch strike. I was...

We have been focusing on defense. To come out and not make some plays there was not what we wanted certainly, but our kids responded back with the bats.

We just weren’t as assertive as we were against the man defense. We really didn’t get that swagger back until about halfway through the third quarter when Grogan hit an open jumper, and we were...

I like using my defense, you know. I’m not going to get mad about giving up a hit because you make one good pitch, the next pitch you get a double play.

Ignorance is one of the best defense available. Distraction is a remedy.

We were much more aggressive on defense tonight. And that’s something we wanted to see. The kids were flying around and making plays.

We were hustling on offense as well as on defense. Everybody did their part.

What we were hoping for was that the extra $2 billion in the defense (bill) would allow us to adjust grants so that people wouldn’t get into a serious problem next month.

Our run defense played very well tonight. I’ve been waiting for it all year and tonight they put it together.

We came on strong after halftime. We got couple of big turnovers and really cashed them in. Our defense played well and our offense started to move.

We haven’t yet in either game played the kind of defense that we’ve played the whole year to get a gauge on how we can play against (Miami).

[JERUSALEM, Sept. 22 (Xinhuanet) — Israeli defense minister Shaul Mofaz on Thursday sharply criticized former finance minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying his plan to move up the date of the Likud party leader elections could destroy...

They are a good defensive team. It was hard, but you always find cracks in the defense. But with the crowd behind you it’s a lot easier.

Our strength will be our defense. Our pitchers will learn to use the defense, knowing they don’t have to go for the strikeout and can get the ground balls.

It was clear that Slobodan Milosevic was not conducting a legal defense to the charges he was facing.

There have been indications for some months now that taxpayer interests aren’t protected. I’m glad the Defense Department is finally coming to ask some tough questions. They should have been raising these issues many months...

I feel good on defense. That’s what happens — when you’re a good hitter, you don’t think too much. Just see the ball, hit the ball. That’s what I have to do.

Our defense already was ranked highly, and I think they’re just getting better. But they still have more to go. They’re very fast. A lot of teams will have problems with them.

I can’t say enough about how well we passed and how well we served and how well we played defense.

Just a tremendous job by our defense, and goalie in the second half. Their clutch stops let us get back in the game. They were just phenomenal today.

I thought this was our best performance of the series. We talked about playing tough, hard-nosed defense tonight to try and close this series out.

You do not have to do anything to defend yourself in life; just be beautiful and life will defend you.

One thing Jimmie does do is help our defense. He usually gets a steal, here or there, and helps get our transition game going. He’s always a capable scorer. He can reel off three, five...

I think we are playing as a team. We’re playing great defense, shooting the ball well, and playing hard. We just keep winning the games.

Bryant’s catching the best defense every night, getting double-teamed and he gets no help. The only help he gets is from me when I take him out to get a drink of water.

He’s better off the bounce. He’s also getting more offense from his defense. He’s a sophomore, so he’s a year older, a year stronger.

Amanda did a great job on front for us. Brooke Place did well on defense. It was a great first game for us.

They did a really good job on defense. We missed some open shots and I made a key turnover late in the game. It’s a situation where we didn’t make key plays down the stretch.

An invisible wall of super condensed jelly would make a great shield to stop bullets and sarcasm.

I though the defense did all right, but they got fatigued pretty early, … We’ve been practicing mainly at night except for two-a-days, and the night workout in those is always more intense. It wasn’t...

The promotion of the Defense Agency to ministry status has been a issue for a long time. Following the scandal we must first make a new start at the Defense Agency and win public understanding.

Thurston has some great shooters, but our defense just got in their face and shut them down.

There was a time when he was thinking offense, offense, offense. Now he understands the value of defense and he?s one of our better defenders.

They played hard. They were real aggressive on defense and you could tell that they’re in a nice zone. They’re in a groove with that 10-game winning streak. They really moved that ball.

Their weak-side help had a lot to do with that. We’d beat the first defender, but the secondary defense was outstanding.

Deming’s a good team and we were playing in hostile territory. I thought we played good defense and our press bothered them, which becomes a mental thing for an opponent.

Those two guys were a huge part of the successful defense we had here for several years. And now they are helping out up there too, which is nice.

It’s hard to focus on three players on defense.

We’re watching it very carefully, … We have certainly seen signs that (Saddam Hussein is) attempting to reconstruct his air defense abilities north of the 32nd parallel.

travesty and a strategic blunder of epic proportions on the part of the Defense Department.

Pitching and defense is fine. That’s something we work at all year. That’s been a strong focal point of our program. [Offensively] we’re struggling. We’re not being aggressive at the dish. We’re not getting that...

Overall, defensively, we’ve been solid all year. I’ve always believed that defense wins championships.

Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion… in private self-defense.
