Brentson Buckner Sure Quotations

He keeps his balance. I can't count how many times you think, 'He's down, they got him' and he's coming out the back end, going down the field with speed. You need 11 guys coming to the ball making sure he's down. Keep pounding and pounding him and make sure he's on the ground.

You don't ever want to limp in. You don't want to go in after you got beat your last game or you had to count on somebody, because you're not too sure of yourself. When you go in after you put up a good victory and you executed well and you played a rival away game, you go in with confidence. You go in with your head high, and you're ready to take on the world.

That's the key for most defenses. Your job as a defensive tackle is to make sure those guys are untouched. Dan Morgan is like my quarterback. If he's untouched and making plays, then I'm doing a great job. If you're disruptive inside, you can let a guy like Dan Morgan fly to the ball, you're going to have some success.

When you get a chance to play someone in your division, you want to play them, but it didn't work out that way. We've got the Giants, and we've got to handle our business. You want to get invited to the dance. You don't care who you dance with. You just want to make sure you get the invitation. We got the invitation. We've got to dance with the Giants, and that's what we're going to do.

I know how bad it hurt him not to be out there last year. Hopefully he'll handle it a little bit better this time. We're going to make sure that he knows we're here for him, and that he can still come around even though he's hurt. Don't be scared to pick up the phone and call one of us if he has a problem - because he's still part of this family. We don't want him to ever feel that just because he's not here every day, we forgot about him.

It's also good for the guys like me because now somebody has a little extra money and they can go after a veteran who might have gotten squeezed out in this. I'm sure the veteran minimum is going to go up, so guys like me can go out and get a one-year somewhere and feel good about the situation they are going into.
