We understand the serious nature of the charges and certainly don't condone in any way the type of conduct which has been alleged. However, we will not make a comment about this specific matter until we collect more information.
We are going to try to get him to be able to come back in the best possible condition and the best game readiness he can be in.
You'd like to put yourself in a position, if you have a flexibility to do it, to take a particular player that you'd like to get. Obviously if you have multiple draft picks, that gives you a little bit more flexibility. That's not a luxury that we have right now.
We don't have to have a reason to bring anybody in. Sometimes, you have to gather information (in case) we need to.
We'd like for everybody on the team that dresses to have some kind of role in the game,
We are not in the playoffs, but it was not all in vain. This group was a team for the last six weeks of the season, for sure.
We are not disappointed in Ronnie Brown. As I said before, expectations always create frustration and a lot of anxiety, which doesn't necessarily help a guy's performance.
Where do we go from here? I think it's important that everybody's responsible for what they can do to make this better. I certainly will be, in terms of my part of it. What we're focused on is how we improve as a team, how we learn from the experience that we had here to day, and how we stay together as a team.

Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people.
What makes Freddy Krueger such a horrible character? What makes him scare you to death? You can't get rid of the guy. He never goes away.
We worked hard for four years to get here and I really enjoy it, quite frankly, and wasn't really anxious just to walk away from it,
We didn't have, maybe, the precision that we needed at times to get things executed, in terms of the protection, route-running and the decision-making at the quarterback position, so it is not really any one area.
A lot of people wearing Saints shirts were very nice to me.
