23 Quotes by Samuel Dalembert

That's the last time I'm going to avoid somebody. From now on I'm just going to throw myself on everybody. There was no room for me to land.

We're up now. I think we just realize what needs to be done. Not having Chris out there is a deficit for us, but we just have to make up for his offense. Steven brought that tonight with his effort and I just tried to do my thing. With two athletic guys, we're going to make the game difficult.

We're trying hard, we're just making mistakes. Defensive-wise, we pretty much know what we should do.

This year, it's the same thing. It's always a step back.

After Michael Bradley got hurt and had his surgery, I was like, ?Man, I wish I could be there,? ... But we still have guys that are gonna step up and do what they?re capable of doing and helping us out winning. The coaches and everybody said, ?Take your time. We need you by Nov. 1.? So I?m trying to get in a week before November, kind of get a little shape back and get myself into it.

Coach's system last year, it worked well for some people. But I'm a shot-blocker and I don't think the way we played defense was best for me.

You can't imagine. The way things went down for me, just coming back from injury, the last thing you expected is just not playing. It's one thing if you're not starting. But the last thing you expect is not being able to play, and that's a surprise.

There was no warning, nothing. Not starting is one thing but not playing is like them telling me what you were doing wasn't good enough.

I'm trying to get myself on the floor for a long time. I'm ready. I'm ready. My main thing is I want to establish my presence defensively. That's my bread and butter.
