We felt our defense had done its part, and it was time for us to do ours and put the game away.
You enter the game and see what kind of game plan they have for you defensively. If they bring a bunch of guys down in the box that you figure are going to pressure a lot, there are big holes in the defense to take advantage. I felt like we were able to do that today.
He was a big part of that defense that year. I think he led the team in tackles. And for just a freshman playing free safety, that's pretty impressive. He came up with some big plays.
We were tying to go down and get points and pad that lead, but they did a good job getting back into the game. But our defense did a heck of a job holding them.
They were a really young defense last year. They're still young but very talented, and (they) just continue to get more and more experience every time they're (on the field) together.
They had a lot of guys sitting on the goal line who thought I was going to run. Keenan slipped behind the defense and I was able to drop it off over the top to him.
You can't give the other team an opportunity when we have them 21-3 to come back and make it almost a 21-17 game, ... Our defense played championship football. Our offense played winning football. We didn't play championship football.
This whole thing with San Diego, when I went into the off-season, I thought for sure I'd still end up with the Chargers. I think that was a shocker for everybody, including myself. Even up to recently, I thought something was going to happen.
We thought about taking a ride in his car,
The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.
We've got something special going here. We want to keep it going. You don't have many opportunities like this, and the window of opportunity for us is now.
Camping in the backyard last night for Father's Day! Wrestling, stories, s'mores...it was awesome!
I expect to win out there.
I hope our hopes and aspirations are bigger than setting records.
