I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
Gerald R. Ford
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
You`ve got to be tough to play center because every play you have to come up and be able to identify the defense and get your other linemen set up and make sure they know who they have to block, ... At the same time it`s the hardest position to block beca...
City High
We should be ahead of the game with our quarterback back and all of our linemen back. We have to continue to get better. We want to build confidence and grow. And then we have to find receivers who will make plays. I think we have great candidates in that...
Audley Harrison
This is the biggest win I`ve ever been a part of. Louisville came out with a swagger in the second half. But I knew we could win if we just made some plays. About the end of their third quarter, their offensive linemen just started laying down.
Anthony Fauci
Things have changed; we have a different group there. We have to put them (offensive linemen) in better positions, and we`re going to do that as a team.
Kevin Wilson
The temperatures will affect how quickly our linemen are able to work. The wind itself is going to be blowing those tree branches around, that are already in a very precarious position.
David Lewis
That`s the most yards I`ve ever had on any level of football, ... It`s like everything came together. My linemen were great, and each time I saw a hole, I hit it hard as I could. We played a lot more I-formation, and I like that. I can see my holes a lot ...
Barry Cinnamon
Our defensive linemen really looked good and I have to give a lot of credit to our linebackers and our defensive backs, ... Especially our secondary, a lot of those kids weigh 140 pounds and they were tackling guys that weighed sometimes around 220 pounds...
Jim Ryan
It`s no fun watching your friend and teammate get hit back there, and drop back and get hit every other play. I was ticked off more than anything. I was telling some of the offensive linemen that we`ve got to stop this thing before it starts, unlike last ...
Jeremy Shockey
It`s definitely scary. Every now and then it kind of brings you to reality. I mean, obviously offensive linemen are a lot bigger than they were required to be back in the day.
Arthur Miyazaki
I told the linemen, `I need one little crease. Just give me a crease and I`ll score. They`re not going to deny us of those touchdowns,` ... We thrive off of that.
Steven Anderson
I thought something like this wouldn`t happen until maybe next season, ... I know how hard it is for offensive linemen to break in on this level. Getting back to my natural position has really been a blessing for me. I`m much more comfortable now.
Marcus Johnson
I thought my ability to gain yards both rushing and passing was important tonight. Green Bay was ... double-covering some of the receivers and only rushing four linemen, so it`s important for a quarterback to use his speed against that kind of defense.
J.P. Losman
I think it`s going to be a testament how we`re going to communicate with each other and understand how the offensive protection will go. They (Oakland) do a little 3-4 (defensive formation - three down linemen, four linebackers) and a little 4-3, so it`ll...
Axel Wadman
I see it all. I see your uniform number. I see the details in your hairstyle. That`s when I really feel I`m in tune with what my offensive linemen are doing and I can just see holes opening.
Priest Holmes
I challenged him personally all week to be the leader on defense, set the tone, be the player you want to be. He wants to go to Hawaii, he wants to be a Pro Bowler, he wants to be looked at in the same light as some of the best D-linemen in the league and...
Keith Bulluck
Before that drive, I told the offensive linemen that this was their drive, ... When you can run the ball consistently, that gives you a chance to run the clock and wear down the opponents.
