It happened. They did a great job that game. Certainly, we spotted them 10 points early on largely in part to a couple of important decisions by me. Certainly, we had to play catch-up from then on. And when you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it's not a fun day sometimes.
I've been following him since he was at Southern Miss,
I asked him if it was his college number and he said that was No. 17. I told him he should have asked me. I would have given it to him,
The coaches saw something before the game and alerted me we were going to go the other way with it.
This division is going to go down right down to the wire because (a lot of teams) still have to play each other. We just need to worry about ourselves right now, not anybody else. That's kind of nice.
That's a place that I do hold close to my heart because when you grow up in Louisiana, your dream is to play in the Superdome, to play in the high school state championships, ... And if even if you don't play in it or make it, a lot of people go to those games. (But) for me, that's just part of it.
I've been a supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs for years and it's a cause near and dear to my heart.
That's part of being the local guy, ... If you are the local guy in Louisiana, I know those fans, they love their local guy.
Football can bring you the highest highs and the lower lows, and it doesn't get any lower than this. We had a good drive going, there was no doubt that we were going to kick the field goal and win the game. I made a bad throw, and the guy picked it off.
Rod is starting to play a little bit more; it's nice to get anyone involved.
It wasn't a revenge game or a get-back game, because that was a long time ago, ... This was just a big win for us.
I don't think anyone was as down and disappointed as I was,
Amazing, isn't it? We're 10-5 and nothing's really happened yet.
He's a special player. We say that every week.
