That was basically the end of that theory, but I did have my laptop with me. I also wanted to get away from the cleanup. There was a method to that madness.
John St. Clair will probably get an opportunity to play someplace else. We certainly wish him the best and in a lot of ways we would like to have him on our team again, but that may not happen.
Junior is a little bit up in the air right now. We don't know exactly, the extent, so I would be guessing if I made any kind of prediction on what his status would be, relative to the next week or so.
Managing the game is the most important thing. Gus has done a pretty good job of that. Turnovers are not killing us. We won the turnover battle in the games that we won and we didn't in the one that we lost.
I'm here to say that we're here to help both guys get better and improve, and we'll make the decisions based on what's best for our offensive team to get better.
We need a little time to figure that out. We're going to take it from where it is and build for 12 games.
I think we're interested in anybody who would make our team better. Guys who have been proven playmakers in this league are all people we would be interested in.

I think there's a pretty good formula for guys who at some point in time were college coaches and then they go to the NFL and, in whatever capacity they serve, they develop even further. When they go back to college, they're even more prepared, and they succeed there.
Jason's thing to me is the speed that he can create very quickly. We've moved him around a little so that maybe we can create other problems, and that's been effective for us.

Jason has had a great camp and has done a great job in every regard. He's probably one of the guys who has had a lot more to learn because he's never really played that position as a professional player. He's playing a combination of two positions right now, but he's done a tremendous job of adapting and making plays.
(That) can only be brought about by a lot of conversation and getting to know someone. I don't know this particular player well enough to make that determination right now, but it's something we might be interested in in the future.
My only feeling is that the situation and the circumstance that created this whole thing is unfortunate for a lot of people. I think that it is unfortunate for the Saints that they have to go through a lot of changes to do what they have to do, but probably, more importantly, the fans and all of the people affected by this tragedy.
