A Quote by Matthew Dowd

To me, polls are like approval ratings for presidents are like an offensive line, right. And if an offensive line is weak, that means the defense is empowered and emboldened.

The Big Ten has great offensive lines and great offensive-line coaching. It prepared me pretty well for the NFL.

Mike Daniels

I have confidence in my players around me - my offensive line, my running backs, my wide receivers, and the defense and special teams.

Chad Kelly

I think you look at a lot of sports, it starts with the guys up front. Your defensive line and offensive line in football and your big man in basketball, different stuff like that.

Luke Kuechly

Offensive linemen don't get looked at. Nobody is paying attention to the offensive line. But me? I'm getting watched for everything. I know what type of player I am. Everybody else that I know knows what type of player I am.

Michael Oher

I can't get upset about 'offensive to women' or 'offensive to blacks' or 'offensive to Native Americans' or 'offensive to Jews' ... Offend! I can't get worked up about it. Offend!

Jamaica Kincaid

The reality is that it's just the nature of the game. It's the nature of playing offensive line, defensive line, and linebackers, where your responsibilities as a player involve those little hits that are going to accumulate. You can't take that out of the game.

Chris Borland

My mother was my first and strongest offensive line.

Le'Veon Bell

You got to sue the offensive line for non-support

Mike Ditka

We like to be punks. We like to still be kind of edgy and if being edgy means you might teeter on that line of being inappropriate, I'm still willing to teeter on that line, even at my age. But some of them go over that line and you've gotta draw that line somewhere.

Milo Aukerman

Football is about having the best offensive play possible. I always like to play offensive football, and nobody will convince me otherwise.

Johan Cruyff

You can't play like that in any conference, where bigs just continually get offensive rebounds and get fouled and get to the free throw line.

Monty Williams

I am very annoyed about this issue. Why can’t it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems we’re just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I don’t think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didn’t realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men I’ve been out with.

Cynthia Nixon

There's no more skilled position in football than the offensive line.

Mark Schlereth

My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.
