I don't think [we] will tell you that being on the road and having to travel to a practice field and being in San Antonio and all the distractions are why we made mistakes. It had nothing to do with Hurricane Katrina. |
I don't think defensive coordinators will game plan differently because of our style of play or because Deuce is down, ... We're a downhill football team. |

I felt it was necessary, and Aaron also felt it was necessary, to let him know that we care about him and we're very concerned about his injury. And when he's rehabbing, we'll be there for him. |
I heard the stories from the people that came crying on my shoulder saying, 'Joe, I lost everything. I don't know where my son is. I don't know where my daughter is,' ... Right now they're in disarray. They're still trying to find their families. So I can't speak enough about how much my heart goes out to them. This game was for the fans. |
I hope they keep the games as close as possible. For us to play, having to play, if someone could come and support us near where we were, it would be good. |
I keep saying this, but before the hurricane got here, we were focused. The New Orleans Saints football team was focused to try and win a Super Bowl. By the hurricane coming and the homeless people that are here now watching us play, it gives us a little more initiative to play harder and play smarter and go out and win a Super Bowl. |
I keep saying this: Before the hurricane got here, we were focused. The New Orleans Saints were focused to try and win a Super Bowl. So I don't want you guys to get this feeling that just because Hurricane Katrina came, now all of a sudden the Saints football team wants to start winning football games. |
I knew it was pretty sore (last week) and I could've played on it, but I probably would have hurt it more. I knew I had to get it rested, get it well so I didn't wind up being out for four or five weeks. |
I meant what I said at the time, and in a sense I still do. I still don't think we'll see them in the playoffs. When they play the Saints, it's like their Super Bowl. But I don't feel like they're a playoff-caliber team. |
I said thank you. I didn't say we beat you. I said thank you. |
I saw people on the streets, on the bridges, and I didn't want to leave that way. I didn't want to come to a new city and know we left New Orleans like that. To go back, to have us back there again, is phenomenal. |
I think that lingered. I think every week, different guys had different excuses why we were losing. And it happened over and over again. |
I told him we'd do our best to give him some kind of hope. That's what they're looking for. |
I want $30,000. I'm not trying to player-hate Coach Mora, but it shouldn't be a double-standard league. A player gets fined, then a coach should get fined under any circumstances. |
