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.
I've got to be honest, ... I was kind of wondering how it was going to all play out.
I don't look at it that we're 2-2. We won two in a row. We've just got to keep that streak going,
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.
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.
It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays. That's what I did.
The last two weeks we had been getting touchdowns. It's very disappointing.
Obviously, there is stuff that can be prevented. I don't think there are many worse things that can happen than those two things in those situations.

I look at him as a wide receiver for the fact that I really haven't seen anybody cover him -- corner, safety, you name it,
I've got big plans for (today). I'm going over to the facility, talking with the coaches a little bit, talking a little football. It's just a time to get to know each other. It's wild. I'm having fun with the whole process, but it's a little stressful at the same time.
At the start of the season, our goal was to win a championship. We were expecting to be in the playoffs, so that wasn't even a goal.
Definitely a game we should have won. To have the momentum we did, to be down on the yard-and-a-half line when we were up 14-10, we felt we had a great chance to put them away.
As a team, ... we've got to kick it up a notch.
