(New Orleans) isn't a big city, but they love the Saints. It's the only place I've been to where they know the players, the scouts, the general manager, the (team) personnel. |
[Come kick-off time, though, it will - and must - be business as usual.] Everybody on our team is heartbroken, ... They feel for the people. I think the one thing about our football team is that we're resilient. When we step on the field, we're focused. When we get off the field, our minds go somewhere else. |
[The loss against Green Bay] was enough for a lifetime. Anytime you lose a player like Deuce you have to have him surrounded by people who can pick up their game. Everybody has to play better. |
[The plight of New Orleans] has nothing to do with what we did on the field today. We [--] on the field. It has nothing to do with where we live, what we do, what the situation is. |
Aaron probably should have gone outside, not in the middle of the field. |
Aaron's got to take a little more control of this team, ... I don't think he should do any more than he's doing. I don't think he should force anything else upon himself. But I think everybody needs to pick up their game, including him. |
As a football coach that is not the best thing for this team. |
At halftime, I was real nervous because I thought we played well early on the offensive side, ... Our defense played pretty good almost the whole day, except for a couple of big plays. But, we couldn't put anything away. Then, we had the blocked field goal again; it was a poor snap and a low kick. We are not making plays when we have to. And that is basically what the whole game boils down to. We had the opportunity to make plays and nobody stepped up and made them. |
Bah humbug! I've been visited by the ghosts of Saints past, present, and future, and they don't wear white sheets like most ghosts. Instead, they wear brown paper bags over their heads. Anyway, they all said it was time for a change. |
because we're working here, but still having our ties to Louisiana, you'd like to probably go to Baton Rouge and play a game or two. |
Besides Jamal (Lewis), they've got really good running backs. They've got good fullbacks. Their line is huge, ... I think if we can contain this team, it will give us a better indication of where we are at. |
Besides the penalty, he did some good things. |
Besides the penalty, he did some good things. I have to look at the film, but I think he did a pretty good job. |
But if I was Dallas, Philadelphia or Washington, ... I'd be even more upset, because they've given the Giants nine home games now. |
But it's a shame, because I thought we played well enough to win. |
