Blitz Quotations
Blitz Quotes from:
-
Artist Quotes
My room is dominated by the huge painting, which is a copy of 'The Violation' by the Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. The original was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and I commissioned an artist I know, Brigid Marlin, to make a copy from a photograph. I never stop looking at this painting and its mysterious and beautiful women.
-
Checks Quotes
Peyton comes to the line, and he checks to a pass or a run, and I come to the line, and I check from a blitz to a zone, ... I think it's great for the fans to see, but it's actually more stressful when you're on the field, because you're actually trying to figure out truly their next move. He's good at it.
-
Calling Quotes
No. 1, it's not always a Cover 2 defense. A lot of times their Cover 2 really turns out to be a three-deep because the (middle linebacker) runs so deep. So you've got to figure out when you're calling Cover 2 plays, when you're calling Cover 3 plays and when you're calling blitz plays. It's confusing, and they do a great job of disguising.
-
Ability Quotes
I didn't get a lot of opportunity to do that in college. We're not a real blitz team. I think I have that ability and when I did get that opportunity in college I was pretty successful. I think I'd be a great fit, especially as an outside rusher but I also have the physical ability of being an inside rusher too. I definitely could help a team strengthen their blitz package.
-
Apart Quotes
I feel that if defenses now sit back on me I'm prepared enough to pick them apart or if they want to blitz I'm smart enough to get it to who needs it or make a play on my own. I feel like I'm always ready to make a play or help someone else make a play. Whatever the defense gives me, that's what I'm going to take.
-
Beyond Quotes
I thought we were getting beyond stereotypes, especially considering the success of minority coaches in our league. But that didn't carry out in the hiring process this time. It didn't and we have to double our efforts. We need to blitz this issue and not go into a prevent defense because we are going to be judged by what we do and not by what we say.
-
Anyone Quotes
I'm still working on my pass routes, ... I never had to do it to this extent. In college it was a dump-off here or there. It's more intriguing here. I'm more comfortable in my blitz pickup. I feel I can block just about anyone and I'm not intimidated by any defender. I just look at it as a challenge, one on one.
-
Against Quotes
You always have to be prepared because they bring pressure from anywhere. But the key is if you can make yards against them on first down, and then it's second-and-4, second-and-5. Then you got a chance to, at the worst, get it to third-and-2 or third-and-3 and a chance to get the ball out and beat the blitz with the ball.
-
Advantage Quotes
We had a lot of opportunities last year on offense that we didn't take advantage of. We had a fumble or two, one that I know of on a pretty good drive and a lot of penalties. We have to keep our penalties at a minimum, they're a very aggressive defense. They're going to blitz some people and come at you. We have to control that and make them pay when they're gambling on the edges.
-
Aggressive Quotes
We are playing aggressive defense. We are playing smart. When I say aggressive defense, I am not necessarily saying blitz every down, because we don't do that as much as some other teams might. We are making plays at the ball. We are returning them like we practiced. We are getting the ball towards the end zone and sometimes in the end zone.
-
Character Quotes
To blitz like Jacksonville did, you have to play man coverage, which would be completey out of character for Coach Rush. He doesn't like to do that. They'll blitz within their front five and they'll do some in-line stunts, but it won't be anything like we saw last week, because speed-wise they don't compare to Jacksonville.
-
Cover Quotes
We were working on a field zone blitz and one of the people didn't cover their responsibilities and ultimately we paid for it. It was played extremely well except for that one thing. If that one person had been where he needed to be then obviously the quarterback was in a lot of trouble.
-
Coming Quotes
We'll work on our zone blitz package, and fundamentals, tackling. We're off to a good start, but that's all that is, is a start. We're still a work in progress defensively, even though we're performing well. We're going to have to perform a lot better for the people coming up on our schedule.
-
Defense Quotes
We try to start fast because we feel that if we get up on somebody we're in good shape, and then we go after them on defense. We try to smother them on defense and stay up on them. A lot of times when you blitz like we do and the team is down, they get to panicking and it's tough for them to come back.
-
Aggressive Quotes
Every defensive coordinator says we're going to be an aggressive defense, and we will, too. Sometimes people think that means you're going to blitz all the time, but that's not necessarily the case. We want to be aggressive from our base defense while being able to blitz and pressure at the same time.
-
Coach Quotes
There's nothing particular - not one player or one protection, and they had the right blitz on - that's going to happen at times. But the quarterback not getting it out, the coach saying, 'Hey, I should have called this protection in that situation' - that all has an effect, and as soon as we minimize those, we'll be better off.
-
Almost Quotes
Sometimes the idea of a blitz can be almost as good as the blitz itself. We pressured Bledsoe on seven of the first 10 snaps. I knew Bill Parcells was going to over-commit to protecting his quarterback, and leave more people in to block. So we started showing pressure and not bringing it, making the quarterback feel by the way we lined up, 'Here they come.' And then we'd drop back, and he'd wind up getting upset and throwing the ball away.
-
Edge Quotes
The big thing is just how they never get beat. In pass rushing, they're always on. You never see them on the edge of somebody. You never see them missing a blitz pickup or something like that. I also try to pick up little technique things that maybe we won't have time to go over in practice.
-
Ball Quotes
They threw the ball every single down I think. I thought we had a great rush. I thought our defensive line did an excellent job rushing. Our defensive line did a lot of that without us bringing linebackers and blitzing. We did bring the blitz little, but those guys did a lot of that our their own. I'm proud of what they did tonight.
-
Capable Quotes
They have 17 (officially 16) sacks in two games, but if we execute our job, we don't have to worry about that. We have to worry about ourselves and not worry about what they do. They blitz a lot. We know what they're capable of doing and we've got to execute our jobs and be prepared for that.
-
Almost Quotes
They don't show a whole lot on defense. They blitz a little bit. They line up in the same spot almost every time. When you face a football team that doesn't change a whole lot, who just comes at you with what they have, those are the teams that are usually the strongest. They do what they do well.
-
Almost Quotes
They do a lot of misdirection and fake the ball real well. It's almost impossible to blitz or pick up on any particular keys. It's a very potent offense. They're probably averaging in the low 40s (scoring). They're solid on the line, got great skill position players and got a lot of people involved in their offense.
-
Company Quotes
This is undoubtedly a public relations blitz by Wal-Mart. They're trying to fend off state legislation, so this sounds like rather empty rhetoric. For a company that's virtually larger than any company in the world to be crying that they don't have the resources, I don't think too many people are going to give much credence to that.
-
Brings Quotes
That kid is remarkable. He's going to give people fits. I really think he is a dynamic quarterback. He can throw really well on the run, and that's their game. They move him around to where he can run or throw. He brings a lot of problems to the table. If you blitz him and you don't get there, he's going to take off and he's going to hurt you. It's hard to play man-coverage on him because there's no one to contain him.
-
Blocked Quotes
They blocked us, there's no mystery in that. I didn't do a good enough job of getting these guys ready ? they must have been reading the newspapers too much and that's my fault. We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.

We've got to get better ? if you can't stop the run, you've got no chance to win no matter the level and we've got to get that done. We wanted to blitz them, but we could never get them to third down.
-
Catching Quotes
I like his size and the way he runs the football. I thought he did a nice job of catching the football and I thought he was good in blitz pickup, recognizing people coming. Before he went to Miami, I thought he was a heck of a running back and he was in a numbers situation down there and his number was out. He is a good football player.
-
Allowed Quotes
I guess we had them covered in the back end, because he was running around with the ball, holding it a lot, and it allowed our guys more time to get him. We did a good job in the back end covering. ... We mixed it up a lot. We didn't want to just stay doing one thing. We wanted to try to blitz a little bit, cover a little bit and just keep them off their pace.
