Brentson Buckner Defensive Quotations

He's better than Warren Sapp and he's the most integral part of our defensive line. Usually you have guys who are categorized as run stoppers or pass rushers. He's big enough to be one of the most dominant run stoppers, but he's also athletic enough to rush the passer. So that makes him very unique.

Names are irrelevant. All we want to be is the Carolina defensive line.

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're going against arguably the best defensive lineman in the game, you're going to lose some sleep at night, especially when you're feeling that he's in a zone. It's human nature. If you see me ball up my fist to hit you, you're going to move out the way, right? Just imagine that. When you start taking those punches, sooner or later you're going to jerk back.

Being a defensive lineman, Reggie is one of the guys I always watched. And he was an inspiration off the field, too. We lost a great football player today, and we lost a great citizen.
