A Quote by Ben Domenech

Sometimes, quarterbacks just get hurt. So do running backs, so do linemen, so do wide receivers. Blaming innovative schemes for these injuries is shortsighted.

As a running back, it takes five offensive linemen, a tight end, a fullback and possibly two wide receivers, in order to make my job successful.

Marshawn Lynch

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 hate running. Only if I have to, but my job is to get the ball to the receivers, the tight ends, running backs.

Lamar Jackson

The history says quarterbacks get paid more than running backs, but I think it depends on the caliber of the player - what you're getting, not just what the position is.

Reggie Bush

Football linemen are motivated by a more complicated, self-determining series of factors than the simple fear of humiliation in the public gaze, which is the emotion that galvanizes the backs and receivers.

Merlin Olsen

Look at baseball, with its defensive shifts - outfielders looking at cards on the field much like a quarterback would. It's possible that someday defensive backs will be playing with similar cards based on where receivers are lined up and what those receivers' route-running strengths are. The possibilities are endless.

Tony Khan

In Detroit, the quarterbacks lift with all the linebackers and running backs and everybody else, so I'm doing that whole thing.

Matthew Stafford

Me, personally, I'm going to be out there running full speed and chasing down running backs and chasing down quarterbacks. That's what I do best.

Jason Pierre-Paul

You've got to be careful of guys trying to chop-block you. You know, running backs, the receivers. You've got to just hope that your knees are fine and you can avoid those chop blocks.

Mario Williams

You can't just run in there and expect to get to the quarterback. There's good backs, good linemen, good protection that's designed so it's not easy to get there. A lot of it's technique.

Luke Kuechly

There are a lot of running backs who see the first level, the D-linemen, and they can't really see the second level.

Le'Veon Bell

I think it's relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that's not what we're talking about here with Seattle. They have a great running back - they have a great group of running backs - but Lynch obviously is really kind of in a class by himself. The quarterback's a problem, the receivers are a problem, they have a good offensive line.

Bill Belichick

Guys get injuries and there's a reason why these injuries happen. A lot of time you're going to get your knee injuries and your ankle injuries, but sometimes if a guy's back is hurting it might be because his core isn't balanced with his back.

Andre Reed

Without linemen like Orlando Pace, quarterbacks wouldn't be anything.

Matt Leinart

I had two ACL injuries in my life, and both of them happened when I was training with bigger guys; a heavyweight and a light heavyweight. Sometimes it's not even because the guy is good, you just get hurt.
