Keion Carpenter Quotations

He got the ball and came down hill. I'm 12 yards off the ball and it parted just like the Red Sea.

He was here in March, when other guys weren't,

Kevin is the glue to hold us together. His leadership man, the guy's been in the league, nine, 10 years, He's played on championship teams, played around some great players. We learn and take from him because he's been in every situation. He's in our prayers.

We knows who makes that engine go. It's No. 5. It doesn't matter who he's throwing to.

When I was first coming back, it was hard, because I wasn't in the condition that these guys were in, but Patrick would pep me up. I would look at him and see how he kept getting to the rock. Then I'd say to myself, 'If he can do it, then I can do it,' and that helped me inspire a younger guy who might be looking at me.

This is a fire that we are going to have to put out. Everybody is seeing this film.

They tried to throw it a little more once he got in there. Other than that, it was the same kind of outfit.

It's like (the late rapper) Biggie Smalls always said: 'Mo' money, mo' problems,' ... I told Mike you've got to take the good with the bad.

It's not going to be no disrespect in here, we don't care who you are or what team you are, and I hope we sent that message through the NFL, ... We have a lot of respect for these players but you're not going to come in here, dance on our field, talk trash, come our side and think it's OK.

I know with all my heart that Kevin will do everything he can to return from this and be just as good a player as he was. Kevin Mathis can still help this team on the field and in the film room. He just can't do it on the field.

He can be the best I've ever seen. He already has the athletic intangibles. If he can get the smarts of Peyton Manning, the swagger of Joe Montana, you put all that in one pot, and I'm going to put my money on my guy every time.
