The success I had as a player, or the career I had as a player, is often based on the guys you play beside, the guys you play with. Playing on the offensive line, you're only as good as your weakest guy up front. I was blessed to play with a lot of guys for a long time.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000686913

Linemen Quotes : pic 000672066
Micheal Barrow and Darrin Smith, those guys were really intelligent. They're smart football players. They'd always be a step ahead of the offense and could predict what was coming. Dan Morgan has that. Jonathan Vilma has that. Ray Lewis has that.

The wide receiver position is such a complex position.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000867982
I always say we got 700 pounds of pork up front. They're going to hold guys down and allow us linebackers to make a lot of plays. Even in practice. I'm loving it, man.

Linemen Quotes : pic 001386922
You take all the offensive linemen and put them in a burlap bag, and then you take a baseball bat and beat on the bag. You're sacking them. You're bagging them. And that's what you're doing with a quarterback.

Four times out of five the linesman gets a better view of the ball near him than the player himself.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000103343
I think that it definitely makes the transition easier being able to know linebacker and having also played on the defensive line. You can kind of know what they're expecting on the back end and what you are kind of expecting from them.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000277422
I don't think there's a position I couldn't play on this field.

Linemen Quotes : pic 000134013
I see young quarterbacks just coming into the league, and they're throwing screens and layoffs right away. As funny as this might sound, I really learned a lot by going downfield, even in tight coverage.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000481808
I want to be one of the guys, but I also want to be 'the' guy, the guy that can go out there and they can rely on in crunch time. I'm going to be the guy that they know will show up every day, every game, every play and show up on a consistently great level.

You got to sue the offensive line for non-support
Linemen Quotes : pic 000087719
I learned from Chuck Noll in Pittsburgh that speed and explosiveness on defense is the way to build a team. Both are difficult for your opponent to assimilate in practice and then in games it is even harder to match.

The NFL offensive blocking is played differently; they use their hands instead of their head and shoulders.
Linemen Quotes : pic 001498436

Linemen Quotes : pic 000285479
I didn't play in the NFL, and I didn't play defensive line. But football, at the fundamental level, is football. It's about motivating people and getting the best out of them.

Linemen Quotes : pic 000868183
We felt responsible for each other. The D-line's got to take care of that line of scrimmage, (the linebackers) have got to clean up, and the safeties and DBs take care of that back end. We felt we're a brotherhood and we just had to get it done.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000932941
Little known fact: offensive tackles score higher on the Wonderlic than any other position.

Linemen Quotes : pic 001075059
We might have the worst bunch of guys together we've ever seen as a football team. I don't know what anybody else has, but I'd trade mine with anybody, sight unseen.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000510911
I'm not playing for anybody but the guys in this locker room.
Linemen Quotes : pic 001191238
I told our guys they must not have cable because Antoine Walker knows how to play, Derek Anderson can play, Shandon Anderson knows how to play, and Gary Payton knows how play.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000728613
We need the quarterbacks. It's a passing league and a quarterback-driven league. We need the Peyton Mannings in football uniforms out there playing - the Tom Bradys, the Drew Breeses, the Philip Riverses - we need those guys instead of them standing on the sideline.

Linemen Quotes : pic 000686933
The positions I played in football, being a quarterback and a defensive back, you had to kind of have a little independent thinking.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000481815

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

Linemen Quotes : pic 000728607
Tight end is one of the hardest positions to play in football. It's right up there with quarterback and cornerback. You have to have the skills of a wide receiver and the strength of an offensive lineman, and it's not easy to balance those two.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000766178

Linemen Quotes : pic 000206931
I've tried to bring the mentality of the outside linebacker to the inside and the rough, tough style of an inside linebacker to the outside. The middle linebacker always has been known as kind of a big plugger. Outside guys are known to be able to run. I just try to make big plays wherever I am.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000075290
I tell you one you straight off in Scotland - Nick de Luca. I don't see his name quoted, but I've played against Nick quite a lot and he is a good player - one of the trickiest centres I've played against.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000041054

Linemen Quotes : pic 000150605
Most people would say safety was my best position. To me, the biggest challenge and most gratifying thing I got out of playing football was playing corner, because it was a bigger challenge than playing safety. Playing corner provided me my biggest thrills and my biggest headaches.
Linemen Quotes : pic 000985726
There are only so many times I can say, 'I owe it to my offensive linemen,' or, 'The credit should go to my teammates,' before it becomes run down.
