Jim Haslett Quotations

I think this football team needs to play here. This is where we're practicing, we need to be here.

It isn't a big city. But the one thing you know is that the people love their Saints. So, yeah, I think our guys feel a little bit of that, like they are carrying a standard for the city and our fans.

I think that's the last thing on anybody's mind right now. That's something that would have to be determined when the season is over. Right now, we've got four months of football, and hopefully we can get through those and get in the playoffs and then figure out where we're going to live. Hopefully, it's back where we came from.

I think that's the last thing on anybody's mind right now. If somebody would say that, obviously they don't have a good handle on what they're talking about. I don't think that's true by any means whatsoever. . . . I think that's something that would have to be determined when the season is over. Right now, we've got four months of football and, hopefully, we can get through those and get in the playoffs and then figure out where we're going to live. Hopefully, it's back where we came from.

It is hard to defend the quarterback. He does a great job. He made a nice play. I guess his hand touched the pylon. I thought the ball was outside the pylon, but if any part of your body touches the pylon it is a touchdown.

I think it's a good rivalry. Any time we play them, we rise to the challenge. I think all our football games are close. Even the game we had in Baton Rouge (in November) in front of about 10,000 people, it was one of those battles. It helps when both teams know each other well.

I think it is a great testament to the guys that they fought this hard.

I think it is a great opportunity for Todd. I think the team will rally around him and give him the support. He's excited about the opportunity.

It came down to this - we had (11) penalties, five turnovers, two missed field goals, dropped balls, missed tackles, bad coverage, ... So it doesn't get any worse than that. We just self-destructed. We were awful.

We had opportunities and we didn't make them. The defense played well enough to win all day except at the end.
