When we had gone 0-2 and a lot of people doubted our confidence, and to come out and have win like this where everybody performed so well is just what we needed.
When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.
Usually before practice, it's Doug and I going, 'Who gets the first-team reps today?'
with the mentality of going out and scoring 40 points.

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.
Never let anyone in life tell you that you can't have something that you are willing to work for.
Each day, you get an ounce more confidence. When we're playing like we are, there's no reason not to.
I can change a diaper in 30 seconds flat. I set the new one beneath the old one. That way, it's just wipe and pull the flap over
We've already got things lined up, and we'll be rocking and rolling the minute the clock strikes midnight.
