The losses aren't acceptable. I'm glad it stays tough because if it wasn't hard for me to swallow, I wouldn't have to push myself.

People like to focus on a narrow stereotype, like if we didn't have football then we wouldn't have made it, ... The reality is, there are a lot of football players like me who came out of the middle class.

Coming from the University of Miami, I developed really good study habits.

I don't want to be standing here next year talking about the character of the team. I want to be talking about winning and the playoffs.

I don't think there is any chance they will make it. No reason to doubt history.

I couldn't do much talking there, ... Missed tackles is what it was. It's not the play calling, it's not the game plan. We'd get to the ball and we just didn't finish.

I can apply a lot of things, ... Lining up, technique and things like that, and doing it consistently, play after play. He doesn't make bad reads. He gets after it. He's always around the ball. Things like that you can always pick up from him.

In this business, nobody is going to feel sorry for you. You have to create your own luck.

I'm a Saints guy, and I'm on the defensive side and I'm hearing the hell that the Saints fans are giving the opposing offenses and it's pretty tough. It's a huge challenge to manage the defense with that noise, but I'd rather them be loud and pumped up and going than quiet, because if they're quiet it means we're getting beat.

I never set out to intentionally hurt any player and never enticed any teammate to intentionally hurt another player. I also never put any money into a bounty pool or helped to create a bounty pool intended to pay out money for injuring other players.
