Bobby Carpenter Guys Quotations

My hat's off. Ashton was hurting. When he came in he had tears in his eyes in the training room. That's the type of guys we have. You are willing to give it up for the team.

It definitely helps a lot. When we see each other in the halls, we're always talking. A.J. and Anthony are in my group. That makes it nice when you have guys in your group you can talk to.

Seeing a lot of teams go to the 3-4, I think helps me. Looking around, it's tough to find a whole lot of guys who have the size and weight to play outside linebacker in the 3-4. You have to be a bigger, physical guy with good speed. That's something that's kind of a (rare) commodity in today's game. I think that's something I can bring to the table.

A lot of guys were on the sidelines apologizing. Usually when we give up big yards on a play, it's one guy's fault. But we were all to blame. We kept playing hard and if we do that and execute, I think we can stop anybody.

Everyone always wants the most tackles, the most sacks, the most interceptions. When you compete with those guys, it makes you better. But it's all in good fun. Everyone's friends. I'm just as happy for those guys when they do well as they are for me when I succeed.

The guys were so inspired. I knew there was only a small chance I'd play, but we had a great scheme on defense and our offense executed well. It was an amazing feat.
