It was a good game I think, on both sides. They had an untimely turnover, we had one. I think it was a very even-flow game, |
It was just very chaotic. I was proud that even though we were 3-13, we were still very competitive. That was good to see. |
It was the first three hours your mind wasn't on your situation, whether it's finding your car or finding housing or checking on your family, |
It was the normalcy we've been looking for. |
It was worse than what you actually think. If you go and talk to these people personally, they'll tell you something that sounds like Steven Spielberg made a movie about. That's what touched me. I think about the two or three stories I sat there and heard. It'll change your whole view of how people actually can be. ... It makes you feel like what we're going through as a team is very, very minimal. |
It's a home game only in the sense that we don't have to bus or fly anywhere. However this season turns out, I'm quite sure that if somebody writes a book about Katrina, they would have to devote a chapter to the New Orleans Saints who had an entire season in disarray. |
It's a relief that it's over. But you're never really glad to have to go home and not be playing football in January. |
It's been emotional for us, but we're not in the same situation as the people in those shelters. It was a good break for us to just be able to go out and play football, but it's not all about us anymore. |
Like I tell everybody, ... if you have to get on a plane and fly anywhere, you're not at home. |
Our situation is uncomfortable. But for the people in New Orleans it's catastrophic. |
People don't really understand that a lot of those people are not going back to New Orleans. You don't rebuild ghettos. |
People want to categorize you, and I think people saw him as a scat-back his first few years in the league, |
some teams, they rise above it. |
Thank God we had a home game. |
That makes them away games. Anytime you get on a plane and pack a bag, it must be an away trip. |
