Ken Lucas Quotations

We've got to protect our young men and women and we've got to win that, whatever the cost.

I thought that the administration needed bipartisan support, and I was for our commander-in-chief. Because I felt at that time it was the right thing do. If I knew then what I know now, I would have never voted for the war.

The Bush administration also was not straightforward about the intelligence it had, releasing tenuous information that fit its goal of attacking Iraq. I feel deceived.

He truly is one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now.

He would ask me how these guys would play and I would do the same thing.

He hasn't thrown me a pick yet but I'm hoping I can get one, ... I know he loves to give them out, so, ...

He hasn't thrown me a pick yet, but hopefully I can get one because I know he loves to give them out. When you watch any other game they play it seems like he's just throwing them up there for grabs. Hopefully, he'll do that this week.

He had a great game plan for the Giants and he's one of the great coaches in the league. I'm just so happy to be here playing for him. It's one of the reasons I wanted to come to Carolina.

We've got to try to have another game like (this year's first meeting). This team is very capable of doing that again.

He's a great competitor. He's one of the best wide receivers in the game. He's a game-breaker. When you get the ball in his hands, he can take it to the house on any given play. He's a very exciting player to watch.

I think in the long run it will prove to be a good thing for the team and myself that we gave it a week off and let it heal. I hate to miss any game, but I think it was the right thing to do.

It also motivates us to go out there and earn that respect. No one's going to give it. You have to go out on Sunday and earn it.

It hurts to see my old teammates over there cheering. I would rather be the guy cheering and celebrating. But we both knew coming into the game that somebody had to lose, and unfortunately it was us. We take our hats off to them, and I wish them the best of luck in the Super Bowl.

I think it's the loudest stadium in the NFL. They truly have a 12th man.

Overall, as a team, we didn't play very well. This game right here really hurts. But we have a very good team here and we'll be back.

We celebrated a little bit, but it's not like we won the division.

We're kind of low-key. We don't like a lot of attention. Keep talking about the other teams, and we'll just come out and do our job.

We weren't expecting a shutout, with them playing at home, and them having the No. 4 offense in the league. But once we saw we had the opportunity to get the shutout, that's what we were pushing for.

We got talking about that today and we don't have an interception yet in the secondary, so we need to get one this week,

We got ourselves in a bind and we've got to get ourselves out of it. We've got to just go and play Carolina Panthers football.

We help each other out. When we've played a common opponent, he'll call me and ask me how these guys play. And I do the same thing. He really didn't have too much to tell me besides what we both knew already.

They played the perfect game. We got embarrassed tonight.

It wasn't too much, besides what we both knew already.

I told my teammates that I think I was a disadvantage to them today, because they changed a lot of things today just for me. What we have been watching on film, they didn't do a lot of in the game today because they were afraid of my knowledge of their offense.

It really hurts for me because I gave it all I had. It feels like a funeral to me because this might be the last time playing with a lot of these guys.

It's not Ken Lucas vs. the Seattle Seahawks, it's the Panthers vs. the Seahawks. I don't want the emphasis to be placed on me. It's about this team, because I can't go out there and win this game by myself.

It's reciprocal. He cares about you and you care about him. It matters if a coach gets along with his players.

The investigation aims to find out everything about him, his motives and thought process.

I know he wants the ball every play. That's any great competitor. You want to make the plays, you want to be the guy to help the team win. He has that attitude. He has like an energy attitude where he wants the ball in his hands with the game on the line.

I know for me sometimes I may get a hand on him, but by him being shorter I may lose him because I've got to bend down. Plus, he's so explosive in and out of his breaks - he gets on top of you so fast, he gets that step on you. Then he has great jumping ability, and he's fearless.

I just had to laugh. It was hilarious.

I don't think we have a good plan for an exit strategy. I think it was handled poorly as far as not bringing in other countries.
