I think we were more determined today, and we just fed off the momentum. I'm just happy we got this win before we go to Dallas. Now, everyone's equal again. This gets a huge monkey off our back.

The thing to understand is the demand today has increased substantially ... 15,000 people are being evacuated from the Superdome itself. I mean, that's Natchitoches; that's a ton of people.

I'm glad we got the win before we go into Dallas. Now everybody's equal again. We've got a chance to just play and we've got a chance to get some more W's. We need to capitalize on the opportunity to play again.

I don't think that's the problem. I'm in the best shape ever in my life. We had four guys run a five-minute mile. But we have to get used to the energy and the emotion that you have to have to do that.

I know coach Q. I know him personally as a man and as a coach, and he's just not that type of person to give up on us. ... I know he didn't quit on us. I know he's not that type of person. He doesn't have that type of character.

I'm going to play hard for coach Melvin like it's coach Q. But it's tough. It's definitely an adjustment we've got to make.
