Sheldon has a reputation for being such a tough guy on the ice because he is a great defender who protects his teammates, ... But he is a loving and affectionate man to me, which I find irresistible.
- Angelica BridgesCoach did put a challenge out there for me to be more active on defense, to be more aware. I know I`m a good defender. At times, I just take a rest. So he put a challenge on me not to take a rest.
- Dwyane WadeThe defender was actually blocking my view. So I didn`t see it until the very end, when it was actually in the net. I was kind of surprised. I thought I`d give it a try. I went far post (to score).
- Michael CardI checked off on my defender and got open,
- Michael CardI checked off of my defender and got open, and Eric was able to get me the ball across midfield, ... I was breaking down the defense, so I thought I'd take my chance.
- Michael CardWhen you go into a game on offense, you make a couple moves and see what the defender is going to do. Then you pretty much can figure out what he is going to do against you - whether he carries his hands low or high, whether he is bumping or pushing, those type of things.
- Oscar RobertsonWe`ve got people leading the team like defender Shawn Anderson, Van Harper at midfield and at forward Hector Adrian.
- Bill MoseleyI think it hurts because Brent is our best defender.
- Matt DohertyAt first I didn`t have anyone to block, then Skyler came my way and I tried to give the defender a good hit, and wound up giving myself one, ... I`m cool though; all of us will be back for Tennessee.
- Craig DavisHe gives us a pass defender (at linebacker). He`s made for that position.
- Clay JordanThe defender cleared it out and my eyes just lit up when I saw it falling down (at my feet).
- Clint DempseyCuttino is a great addition to our club. We were looking for a player that would add some key dimensions to our team that we were lacking. His 3-point shooting ability was third best in the league last season. He is a solid defender and excellent all-around player.
- Mike DunleavyI got hit on my left leg, and my hips got opened up a little bit, so the ball sailed. I was aiming to throw outside to Mike because the defender was inside. In the split second right as I was letting go of the ball, my left hip got hit and I opened up, and it was kind of a duck, and it trailed inside on me.
- Matt BakerI`ve had pretty good success against J. The times that I have been able to get him off-balance, I`ve been able to get by him. J is still a great defender. But if my number is called, I have no trouble stepping up to the challenge.
- Anthony JohnsonHe was strong enough to hold off the defender and get the ball off to Chris and Chris finds an opening and he just makes something happen,
- Jim BoydWe discussed buying a defender. The view was the priority at that time given the way we were playing was that we needed support up front and that is why we bought Louis Saha.
- Alan RussellI pretty much knew I had (the defender) beat when he was up on the line. I just turned it up and ran right by him. Then I did what I had to do to catch the ball.
- Ann RiceWhen they leave that guy open out there, that`s in our play to throw it to him. It just so happened to be the first punt of the year. I was lucky that I saw it, and Ronnie Prude knew it was coming too. I saw (the defender) creep in, and I was thinking about it, `If he rushes, then I`m going to throw it to him.` As soon as the ball was snapped, he was rushing and I threw it to (Prude). I just saw the opportunity and took it.
- Anthony BiondoWe did a have a play set up to get him open, but the problem was we didn`t execute the play properly. But sometimes that`s the way things work. ... Jake Black is a great defender, and he was right there. Caleb just hit the shot.
- Armin Zoeggelerthat while he could be a very good defender, he was out of this world with the ball in his hands.
- Aya TraoreO worship the King, all glorious above! / O gratefully sing his power and his love! / Our Shield and Defender - the Ancient of Days, / Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise.
- B.D. EvansCarly is a natural defender who has the potential to advance to the midfield. Her tackling and distribution skills out of the back field are her primary threats to our opponents and we are excited to have her on our squad.
- Barbara HughesHe was the type of player that loved to take on a defense by himself. He had that next-level ability to always break down the first defender and that creates a lot of problems for a defense. And he could do that from his sophomore year in high school.
