It took us 3 1/2 hours by boat to get to some of those places, with no place to stay, no roads to get there. It's been like that since Day 1, and it hasn't improved much.

They're special. We're blessed to have them. They help us in so many different ways. They help us with our young offensive linemen, they give us a chance to move the ball. I think they'll really impact our team next year.

Now I never dream of leaving here. Hurricane Katrina wasn't a good thing, but maybe it was God's way of putting us in a better place.

Here it's so beautiful, and I'm here with my baby sister and once again we're a family.

Everyday we were standing in line to get ice and water and there was no gas. You could see fights breaking out over ice -- and one guy shot and killed his sister over ice.

From what we came from to what we've seen here ... it's like we left a war zone and came to a place that's safe and secure.
