Carlos Emmons Quotations

We felt like if they went down and scored on our defense, we lost the game. I don't care what else happened.

This will only make him more popular. It's all about marketing.

Last year we would look at film and see linebackers not getting touched and making plays. I was like, 'If we don't get touched I'll make every play.' So finally we get to run around and make plays.

What do you think? Man, I could have played next week.

The Rams have a great offense. It's going to be a great test for us. We definitely need this win, especially after a week like last week, to get this thing rolling in the right direction.

I risked it once already. The risk was there the first time, but I came back because the team needed me. The medical people advised me not to play the first time. But I don't care about being hurt. The guys need me, I'm out there.

That was the first I'd heard of it. I voiced my opinion and told him how I felt about it. But my opinion doesn't mean much.

We have our D-line back, injury-free, and those guys are keeping the linemen off us at linebacker and allowing us to make plays. We weren't able to do that last year.

We've got our defensive line back injury-free, and those guys are really helping us out,

We need to turn the corner and start playing more consistently each week. I think we're in a better position to do that this season.

We'd look at film and see linebackers not get touched and they would get praised, ... And I was like 'Hey, we don't get touched, I'll make every play.'

We have to depend on ourselves to stay in our gaps. That will be a point of emphasis. We want to make sure everyone sticks to their responsibilities. We've been up and down as a team in that sense. And good teams will find the holes if you give them to them.

You get used to wearing a certain number. It's something you are known by. You don't want to change it because it seems you don't even look right in another number. Your number is always worth something.

No way I'm giving anyone $40,000 for a number. You can burn the number up for all I care. There's definitely a limit.

That's what we're anticipating. In the offense they're running I know he's going to be getting the ball out a lot quicker, so it's going to be a lot different than our offense was.

You take a loss like that out on the field with you, ... and you're going to lose again.

I'll see how it feels when I get up on Sunday, ... If it feels good, I'll go. Otherwise, I won't.
