Football Quote by Brian Flores
“Well, I think anytime you can sack the quarterback, that's great. With that, when you're sacking him, you're pressuring him, and I think no quarterback likes having pressure on the edge or up the middle. So, yeah, I value pressures a lot, and I think that goes a long way toward marrying a rush and the coverage and playing really good defense.”
