We were playing to show people how New Orleans feels -- the resolve to push on and come back. And, at least for today, this team exemplified that.

Our situation is uncomfortable. But for the people in New Orleans it's catastrophic.

People don't really understand that a lot of those people are not going back to New Orleans. You don't rebuild ghettos.

This team is totally different than other Saints teams. There's a resolve to this team.

In a nutshell, it feels like training camp hasn't stopped,

It's been emotional for us, but we're not in the same situation as the people in those shelters. It was a good break for us to just be able to go out and play football, but it's not all about us anymore.
