ball fourth fresh hand ideal negative nice quarter
In an ideal world, yes. I don't know how it's always going to unfold. It was nice to be able to have a fresh Jerome Bettis in the fourth quarter (Monday) night. That was a luxury. That's what you'd like to have in an ideal world. When we hand the ball to him, you know there was not going to be a negative play.

I'm just glad we're getting closer to playing. It feels like I've had four or five press conferences a day answering the same questions.
biggest bring existing fan four hours orleans people period pride pulling reality saints short three
I'm their biggest fan every Sunday; they go out there and play. I'm pulling for them, for the people in New Orleans and everything they're going through. If there are three or four hours that people can get away from the reality that is existing for them right now, the uncertainty, the unknown, the Saints can bring a sense of pride to them for that short period of time.

We mixed it up and did a good job of dropping eight and bringing pressure and trying to disrupt them and get them out of their rhythm. They hit some big plays there in the fourth quarter, and we were fortunate to get out of there with the win.

It's been a good system for us. We've been able to build some depth. It's nice to have a third or fourth guy who can go through a year, watch and then be able to step in when a guy goes down or leaves.
football four turn walking win
It was a very frustrating loss. When you turn the football over four times and are minus-3 in the giveaway/takeaway ratio, you aren't going to win many football games. We had the opportunity, even in overtime. It's very frustrating at this point, walking away with a defeat.

fourth game last playing three weeks
We've been playing well the last three weeks on the road, and we've got another fourth game on the road. I don't know if that's superstitious, but that's the way I'm thinking.
drafted fourth grab guys higher looking round teams third
We used to get them in the third and fourth round because no one else was looking for that guy. We didn't have to take them that high. Now those guys are getting drafted higher because a lot more teams are looking for them. If you wait, someone else is going to grab him before you do.
best couple effect execute football four game good point teams three together
When you get to this point in the season, there are not a lot of surprises. You have a couple of very good football teams that want to put together their best game plan, and then execute it in detail. There are usually three or four opportunities in any game to make the right play, and have an effect on the outcome. This game probably won't be any different.

He will miss approximately five weeks, four games. That is the early diagnosis. Certainly that can be give and take, a week here and there. Really, what we thought initially, that is probably good news based on what we were concerned about the last couple of days.

We settled for three field goals in the four times down there. It's something we can improve on and something we need to improve on.
