good happens team tried
The whole team has tried to do too much. That's what happens sometimes when you have success. You feel like you just need to do better than better. At times, better is good enough to win. I think you can try too hard.
attitude exactly game good last obviously point since sitting situation team time win
I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.
crowd definitely focus perfect playing playoffs prepares teams types week
That's only going to make us better. Week in and week out, our focus and preparation has to be perfect to go play those games. I think we're definitely up to the challenge. A lot of those teams are teams that are perennially in the playoffs. Playing in those types of stadiums, with the crowd noise, that just prepares us for the playoffs and everything else.
came funny great kept momentum others played prepare situations teams three
It's interesting that three teams have (off weeks) to prepare for us now, but byes can be funny things. I've been in situations where we came off one and played terrible. I've also been in others where we came off one and just kept rolling. We have great momentum now. We just want to keep it going.
guys happens none team trust worried
It's just part of the process. It's not unusual; it happens all the time. Trust me, none of the guys on the team are worried about it.
football gratitude team
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.
running team long
My No. 1 priority, and it always has been this, is keeping our team together and making sure we have the right guys in the right positions to make a run at this for a long time.
football team inspiration
I was brought here [New Orleans] for a reason. I feel like I can make a tremendous impact, not only with the team but in the community.
achieve beginning believed broken game goals hopes order path playoff streak talking team win
We believed we were going to go there and win, keep our playoff hopes alive. Of course, everybody's talking about the streak being broken and everything else. But really, for us, that was just another team in our path and another game we had to win in order to go on and achieve the goals we set at the beginning of the year.
due gone good last obviously record stronger team though wrong year
And then obviously our team, we had better people, high-character guys, good leadership. It's just one of those things. In '03, everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. And then last year, everything that could have gone right went right. We were not a 4-12 team in '03, even though our record showed that. We were better than that. Just due to circumstances, that's the way we finished. We all got stronger through that experience. I don't think we could have accomplished what we did last year if we hadn't gone through that in '03.
fan field fun hopefully seems special teams
He seems to be a fan favorite, and he's fun to watch. Hopefully we'll see him scurrying down the field on special teams and when he's called on in the offense.
came defense free freshman led playing team
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.
care flying itself rate reach stuff takes taking team time
We're probably just flying under the radar, just going out and taking care of our business. And all that stuff takes care of itself when the time comes. We're a team that if we keep going at the rate we're going, yes, we'll reach that level.
creates great helps offense team
It helps a great deal. Obviously, he's a big part of our offense and our team and it's another weapon. Not only is he very productive, but he also creates for others.
