That wasn't the Saints of old out there, |
The game was definitely for them. |
The guys just feel like he let us down. Today is the last day of practice and that's almost four months since we've been here. And at no point in those four months did he find the time to stop by. It almost feels like it's just a PR move at this point. |
This team is totally different than other Saints teams. There's a resolve to this team. |
We all feel if we can just cut that out . . .. We've proven that, the two games when we had zero to few penalties and zero to few turnovers, we've won. |
We had no routine. I take my hat off to coach (Jim) Haslett for what he did. |

We just cannot seem to get that one little play here and there that gives you a better chance of winning at the end. You'd hope you could take that ball with four minutes to go and get a field goal. We created that third-and-one. It wasn't successful. |
We wanted to give those people in the shelters something to cheer about. |
We were 3-13, so you expect changes in coaching and in personnel. I'm proud that the team did fight. It wasn't like we had a bunch of Green Bay games (a 523 loss on Oct. 9). We lost three or four games as the clock ran out, and even today was a good game. |
We were playing to show people how New Orleans feels -- the resolve to push on and come back. And, at least for today, this team exemplified that. |
We've been emotionally wiped out. We're not in the same situation as the people that are in those shelters. But as far as trying to win a football game ... |
We've got a journey ahead of us, |
You can't just be thinking about yourself now. Watching what's going on back in New Orleans just makes you thankful you're not in that situation. |
You can't live in an 8-by-10 room. |
