Kevin Carter Quotations

Obviously we wanted him as part of our team, but I think the person that feels the most let down is him and he feels like he let himself down. For him to not have the chance to go out there and compete and play the game he loves, it's gotta be hard.

When you combine experienced guys who have gotten a lot of sacks in their career together, it just means more sacks for everybody. As a defensive front, we have the experience so we have to be the anchor of this team.

I don't think he was really able to get his timing down and get in sync with his receivers. We were changing things up and giving him a lot of different looks. It can be confusing. Obviously, it was confusing enough to make a difference today.

Just because things aren't working on a given day doesn't mean you can chalk it up to they're not a very good team. It doesn't work that way.

I think people look up to you, especially kids coming out of high school, to see how you live your life, ... A lot of times, those kids are going to pattern themselves after what you do.

It felt really good being the first receiver to put points on the board, ... I know this week receivers put pressure on themselves to make big plays.

Those kind of things really hurt, but they really remind you of why you're here and what kind of blessed position you're in as a football player. You live a comfortable life and make a lot of money. You should take what's given to you and make the most of it in your private life, but more than anything, your public life. You have a platform to do a lot of good. People will get behind you if your heart is in the right place.

We're a bunch of old guys, so for us to come together in a short time from a chemistry standpoint and get that sack record is a huge deal.

When I was with Tennessee, I think I redid my deal every March pretty much just to help them out. It's not a bad thing.

We're going to find out who really wants to play and who really loves football.

It would take us backward from all the things we've worked for from an NFLPA standpoint. It's never been better to be a player in the NFL than right now. It would be a shame if all that ended.

You gave us the mandate to break the mold of a government agency and instead act as a business. Additional controls are probably advisable, and we intended on looking into that.

We're supportive and we're hopeful for him. Obviously, who wouldn't want Ricky Williams back on their team? We're in full support of him.

With the CBA right now, we've got a good thing going. The owners, the players and fans are the ones reaping the rewards because there hasn't been a strike in 20 years in the NFL. It's been great. We're the No. 1 spectator sport in America and why is that? It's largely because of the CBA and the parity that exists because of it.

Right now we're not playing with poise and confidence in what we're doing,

I know she's proud of me because I can feel her love even though she's in a better place right now, ... My mom was always behind me, pushing me forward. She would say not to be afraid. If you want to do something, go ahead and do it.

I've heard guys go to Vegas and lose 50, 100 grand. I've also heard of guys winning that much.

This is it, I can't live, I can't do it anymore.

About 3040% of our demand is for turnkey lines, where a customer goes to one company for everything.

The versatility he brings to this defense is what stands out. I don't think I've played with a better overall athlete. He can do it all, and this defense allows him to use his talents. He rushes, plays the run and covers. You saw that all tonight.

The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist.

It's the duality, the secret identity, the parts about truth, justice and the American way. My personality is Type-A-on-steroids. I want to be good. I want people to like me. I like doing the right thing.

It's always about money. The pie's getting ready to be bigger and the owners, I don't think they feel they have to share the same percentage of that pie because what we've been getting should be good enough. Therein lies the biggest friction.

It's a tall order to get everyone on the same page. We have to get that back.

It seems like it doesn't matter who's back there, they can get the job done.

This team is really beginning to develop a toughness about itself. Like I said, we go out there and we play no matter what happens, good things or bad things. We don't look at the scoreboard, we just play.

It makes us feel like we're actually working towards what we wanted to do, what we've been trying to do and becoming the sort of team, playing the sort of football that we've been trying to play. That's an identity we've been trying to work on.

This may be one of those groundbreaking deals that blurs the line between satellite and terrestrial radio. It's a smart deal if it helps CBS attract new listeners. But I'm sure people are wondering if they are chasing a short-term gain at the expense of giving free advertising to satellite competitors.

I feel horrible for him and his family. He worked his butt off to be an instrumental part of our team and would've been an instrumental part of our playoff run this year. We had lofty aspirations and still do.

I do know guys, have played with guys, that hit the casino hard.

He really is all about precision, about getting things done the right way.
