alive citizens city committed excited great lift opportunity orleans people rebuilding saints spirits whatever
You still see the city is very alive and you've got a lot of great citizens of New Orleans committed to rebuilding this city that are just so excited about Saints football. In times of tragedy, in times like this, people look to whatever they can to try to lift their spirits and I think for a lot of people that is Saints football. ... What a great opportunity it was for me to be here as quarterback, but not only that, but as a person in this community.
fans forced gives help homes lost opportunity people
This is great. This gives the fans the opportunity to see the makings of this team. And I feel we have an opportunity to help people who lost their homes or were forced from their homes because of Katrina. They need to be uplifted, and we have the opportunity to do that.
craving feeling felt guys opportunity town tremendous win winner
I felt like we had the opportunity to do something special. I got the feeling that these guys really wanted me here. I think we've got a tremendous opportunity to win, and win very quickly. I know this town is craving a winner and we're going to get one.
football inspiration opportunity
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.
adversity opportunity difficult-situations
Anyone can see the adversity in a difficult situation, but it takes a stronger person to see the opportunity.
bit call earlier expected opportunity sure
In my mind, I feel like I'm going to come back better than ever. I wouldn't even call it a setback. I think it's an opportunity for me to just get going a little bit earlier than expected and rehabbing and working out and making sure that when I come back I'm better than I was when I went in.
beyond everybody gave job maybe move obvious offer opportunity people reluctance since stands stay win
I think it's pretty obvious by the one offer they gave me and their reluctance to move beyond that point. Maybe I'd have the opportunity to stay there and win my job back once again. But since I kind of know where everybody stands in the organization and the people who are making the decisions, I don't think so.
almost defense offense opportunity played team winning
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.
again football heck hopefully proud relief sigh sooner sure team
I'm sure there's a sigh of relief from the Dolphins, because if there was a team that could (go unbeaten), I'm sure it was these Colts. They're a heck of a football team, and they have a lot to be proud of. Hopefully we'll see them again down the road, sooner than later.
against bring compete draft free gonna guy knew mind next pick somebody whether
I knew they were gonna bring somebody in, whether it be a draft pick or a free agent. But in my mind I was the only guy here, ... Every day I competed against myself. I didn't compete against the guy next to me.
ahead both guess improvement relieved work
I'm relieved that it's over. But I guess it's a bittersweet kind of deal. Doug and I both wanted it. ... I'm excited, but I know how much work we have ahead of us. I know how much improvement I have to make for us to be where we want to be.
both cuts guys nobody run runs tackled touches walks
That first touchdown run he had, where he runs outside, there's two guys there, and he just stops, and both those guys just keep going and he cuts it right up in there untouched in the end zone. For any other player, they're getting tackled by two guys at the 2-yard line, and nobody touches him and he walks into the end zone. He's a spectacular player.
best good guys miss seat
Not only is he good on grass, but you put him on turf, and he's even better, because he was making guys miss out there and it wasn't even funny. I got to see it firsthand, best seat in the house.
good missed perfect
Nothing was perfect obviously. We missed a lot of opportunities offensively. But when you can play like that and still get a win, that's a good sign.
