I'm just trying to take what the defense gives me. — © Eli Manning
I'm just trying to take what the defense gives me.
I'm just trying to take advantage of whatever the defense is giving me.
Sometimes, you just have to take what the defense gives you.
I take what the defense gives me, and I roll with it.
It's a conscious effort for me to be aggressive and take what the defense gives you.
I guess you kind of take what the defense gives you. You don't always want to just force it.
I'll continue to take what the defense gives me. That's the way that I've always played.
I need to be more of a take-what-the-defense-gives-me player and not force the issue.
What postmodernism gives us instead is a multicultural defense for male violence - a defense for it wherever it is, which in effect is a pretty universal defense.
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.
I try to take whatever the defense gives me, have a sense of urgency, know who's guarding me and pick my spots, get my teammates involved and also attack the rim.
Well, my dad (Ken Griffey) taught me that there's three parts. There's hitting, there's defense, and there's baserunning. And as long as you keep those three separated, you're going to be a good player. I mean, you can't take your defense on the bases, you can't take your hitting to the field, and you can't take your baserunning at the plate. But defense, is number one.
Whatever the defense gives us, we're going to take it.
I feel like I've matured in that area too, taking what the defense gives you, not trying to make too much. If it's two, just stick your head in there, and drive to get the two.
I really wanted to step up my defense night in, night out. So that's my mindset, just playing defense and trying to be consistent with that.
Christianity has a built-in defense system: anything that questions a belief, no matter how logical the argument is, is the work of Satan by the very fact that it makes you question a belief. It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it -- and believe me, I was raised Southern Baptist -- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, "Show me.".
Knowing that guys are out there improving and trying to take it to that next level, that gives me fire to improve my play and work on these little things that can keep me from dominating a game.
