41 Quotes by Carl Peterson

After Priest sustained a hip injury in 2002 and a knee injury last season, there were numerous individuals who speculated that those injuries were career threatening,

A lot of people put a lot of time into identifying players that we think we can get and like to get and see where they fit,

There was one guy out there with a football after a Saturday walk-through and it was Priest, ... He's practicing scoring a touchdown, catching the football, turning and running to the pylon in slow motion. The next game he catches a pass, runs to the pylon and I say to myself, 'I've seen this play before.'

There were other times when people tried to count him out and then he shocked and surprised everybody, so it's too early to say. I would just say right now, if he had to start the football season, he couldn't because the doctors have not cleared him for contact. But we don't have to start right now. We'll see where we are in June or July.

It's just a situation where he's run out of time on PUP active status. He had some more surgery done on that knee. They took out a plate and screws. Both (head coach Dick Vermeil) and I saw it and it was pretty substantial. I don't know how he moved around with that.

It's a head trauma and a neck trauma that has affected the cervical area of his spine. But he's not incapacitated. There's no reason for surgery.

It's not Priest's decision to make. Our player needs to prepare for the game, and you can't be in there with him.

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.
