Carter has become a weapon for us with his kicks.

From what we were told from up top, Kirk's knee had hit the ground before the fumble. But we had so many breakdowns, that we're going to have to go back and watch it on tape.

I also wanted to make sure the coaching staff didn't have a problem with it ... and that it was Greg and I coaching together. Once we knew the staff would be intact, it was like 'Why not?

Both of Michael's long passes to Sullivan were nice throws. And Sullivan made the catches.
