[And the pregame assessments of Karney and tight end Ernie Conwell rang true.] I know everybody was pouring their hearts into everything they did today, ... That's what has been missing from the Saints; playing with emotion, playing with heart, not getting down when something bad happens. |
[The Saints are thankful San Antonio stepped in. For at least the rest of the season, this is their home. The team is housed in the downtown Marriott Rivercenter Hotel.] Commerce and Bowie Street, ... They have a good sandwich in there. The Texas Stacker. It comes with fries. But yeah, I'm a little tired of it. |

Emotion will carry you for one game. |
Good or bad, this team is going to fight until the end. If anything has come out of this mayhem, it's what this team seems to be. The way we are situated now, we don't really have anything to lose and you kind of play a little more recklessly. Even in the losses, you saw guys still playing hard. . . . We have a good, talented team. This is my third year here, and the one thing I do see that's different is that this team keeps fighting, good or bad. |
He has a power-runner's mentality. You still have to catch him, but he doesn't run for the sideline, his first thought isn't to make a move on you, and he has a strong stiff arm. |
I think it's going to vary from player to player. You'll get a quiet guy who speaks low, and then another guy who, depending on how the meeting goes, might get outrageous. It should be a fun meeting. |
I think we were moving it pretty well. We killed ourselves with turnovers and false starts. |
I was a little disgusted about people making at least six-figure incomes worrying about anything. Sometimes you forget to think of the lesser man. Sometimes you forget to put things in perspective. |
I'm from Haines City, Fla.. So I guess I was liable to shoot a squirrel with my BB gun every now and again, and maybe throw it in a little bit of hot grease. |
I'm just trying to keep the guys as upbeat as possible. It's a challenge. This is unprecedented, and maybe that will give us the focus we need. ? At some point, especially when you're losing, that traveling will come into play. There's just so many Marriotts you can check into. |
In a nutshell, it feels like training camp hasn't stopped, |
It felt 100 times better than what we've been doing. It's just one game, so that home atmosphere hasn't gotten around completely. But not getting on an airplane and going somewhere -- it's not like those were one-hour flights. [Last week's trip to] Minnesota was the shortest, and it was three hours. It's been a haul. You keep doing that week in and week out, it's hard. As a team, we've got to do the best we can with these games that are in San Antonio. |
It seemed like we were playing uphill all season. |
It should be a fun meeting. |
