I've been on some really good teams, but we weren't able to get over the hump. It's offense, defense and special teams, and then the ball has to go your way.

Tony Gonzalez

All the projects that coaches go through in the offseason are based on the success other teams had in every area whether it's offense, defense or special teams. What they do is see if they can incorporate anything they see with the people they have.

Bill Cowher

As coaches we talk about two things: offense and defense. There is a third phase we neglect, which is more important. It's conversion from offense to defense and defense to offense.

Bobby Knight

Football is one-third offense, one-third defense, and one-third special teams.

George Allen

I think teams win. I don't think offense wins. I don't think defense wins. I don't think special teams - teams win.

Dabo Swinney

I think there's a lot of different ways to score points and win football games and be efficient offensively, just like there is on defense and special teams. That's what makes this great game so special.

Tom Herman

I think the NFL season starts with the first three or four games and all the predictions come out. You're either great on offense, bad on defense, great on defense, bad on offense. You're either going to have a Super Bowl chance or you won't. And I think after that, people kind of think everything's set in stone.

Devin McCourty

It's football. The game hasn't changed. There's not tons of new concepts every year that go in. Offense is offense; it's our job to move the ball, to score points, and keep our defense off the field.

Josh Allen

Against our zone, even really good offensive teams take longer than usual to get into their patterns, maybe 30 seconds. So we're locked into playing defense for that long... it's hard to run on offense after you've been hunkering down on D for that long.

Jim Boeheim

In war the only sure defense is offense, and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.

George S. Patton

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

If we play defense the way we're supposed to and we play defense the way we do here in practice, we should have no problems against most of the teams in the league, and other teams, it'll be a great fight.

Karl-Anthony Towns

I've been able to speak with most of the special teams coaches and special teams scouts.

Kyle Brindza

The longer the life the more the offense, the more the offense the more the pain, the more the pain the less the defense and the less the defense the less the gain.
