Carl Peterson Quotations

I like to think, if you look at our roster, there are some good, young, talented players at every position. You try to look ahead there, but sometimes you just have to make decisions.

At this time, we do not consider this a career-threatening injury. The doctors have told us that with rest he will get better and he will be able to play again.

At this time, we consider this not to be a career-ending injury.

Everyone's concern is the safety of the players and the coaches and the fans. And that's what most paramount. Obviously, I've never watched the Weather Channel as I have in the last 24, 48 hours.

It's a long season. You could see in training camp that there were spurts of this possibility happening. I think that anyone that watches us can see that we've gotten faster on defense, which is always key.

It's a lot to ask a defensive coordinator to come in and turn everything around in one year. It's maybe a one- or two-year transition period. You can't expect a miracle overnight.

But it always the same, though. The proof is how it turns out. It's all exciting. It's great now. But if they come in and play and they help us win, then I always say whether it's a draft choice or a trade, that was a good move. We'll see. We've got a lot to do.

I don't want to get into that because it's a pretty sensitive issue. I've done it before.

It was a gutsy decision and a huge win.
