advantage depth evaluation last players sure
We're going to try to see if the front-line players are front-line players. We also want to look at the depth of our roster to make sure that we take advantage of the last evaluation for a lot of these guys. We're going to try to do it all in this game.
behind happy hard players
It would have been hard to come in here and say we're not happy with the young players. But when you look behind you, where are the players? The young players just weren't on the roster.

We're working to try to get a couple more players through free agency. The right players. And get ready for the draft, you know.
achievement adverse came continuing credit earned football forward great greatly home hung key missing next orleans players proud season
I would just like to say it is a great feeling, a great accomplishment by our team. I am very proud of them. A credit to the New Orleans Saints, they came in here under adverse circumstances, obviously, missing some key players and they competed greatly today. We hung in there and we earned our 11th victory. We look forward to continuing the season at home next week. I am really proud of our football team.

Just because I didn't work things out with Reidel Anthony and Jacquez Green and a lot of the young players that were here,
agreement decisions difficult fans hoping obviously owners players reported similar sort sure teams terms waiting
Obviously what is being reported right now is an impasse. There are a lot of teams in similar straits that we are in, in terms of kind of waiting and hoping for the best. If no agreement is reached, I am sure there will be some very difficult decisions to be made. The players and the owners have to sort this thing out. It will take time. It is frustrating for, I think, fans and everyone.

Monte's been here and had his system in place for some time, ... It's a one-gap scheme, and they've been drafting players that fit it. We're trying to do that on offense.

It's nice to have some continuity around here and build a team from within instead of compiling a nucleus of players from outside. That's challenging. The development, the persistence and the work ethic is going to pay off.

We're going to play the regulars a little bit. They'll give way early to a lot of guys who we think are in key battles at certain positions, and guys who are young players who we think need game time.

We've added some guys who are not only good players but good leaders. They lead by example. Ike Hilliard's helped us. He's come in here and given us great leadership. Brian Griese's asserting himself with the football team. Chris Hovan's done some great things. Anthony Becht is a leader on the team.

We don't have one player or coach on our team who has ever won a Super Bowl. This is the most exciting times of our lives in football.

You've got to score points to win football games and we regret what happened here, having to send one of our key players home, but looking at it in the rearview mirror, we would do the same thing again. Hopefully Simeon comes back ready to roll and he learns from this.
