Postgame Quotes

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS COACH SEAN PAYTON

“It’s good to win, even though it’s the preseason. I thought we played with good energy and effort. There are still a lot of little things we’ve got to work on, and fortunately we are going to have that time and we’ll take a peek at this tape. I think this tape is going to be essential because we spent a lot of time with our starters. I thought our coverage units did better and played with good energy to the ball. We had 11 penalties. A couple of those we certainly can clean up, but there’s some hidden yardage lost in the return game because of two big penalties. Overall, there will be a lot of good things when we see the tape and then enough that we can get cleaned up. Nothing on the injuries right now; we’ll know more as these guys come in tomorrow.”


(on tonight answering more roster questions) “We got a lot of snaps; we got a chance to see a lot of different people. The kicking game is going to be important in that evaluation with these battles we are talking about; how they performed and the coverage units and the return units are going to be critical. I think they understand that. We’ve got a lot of film to cover as coaches and review and grade and they are going to be important. This is certainly an important tape to study, as will next week. It will be a little shorter week as we go to Nashville on Wednesday, but we’ll see as we continue to watch and look at these guys.”


(on Chris Ivory) “In each game, there are some things he needs to work on and clean up with his landmarks. He has a lot of potential. He’s a work in progress. He made a heck of a play on the catch for the touchdown. In each game there are some things we’ve seen that we really feel positive about, and yet in each game there are some things you see that you recognize that he is young and there are some basic mistakes that we have to get cleaned up. Overall, he ran with energy and protected the football so that was a positive.”

Saints-Chargers Postgame Quotes

Come on Payton..give Ivory his due brah...kinda lame

I think thats kinda paytons way of keeping the playmakers humble, he acknowledges the big plays they make, but then points right to where they need to improve.
He knows they played well but they can't get cocky, i would have still given him more compliments though

is it his blocking ability maybe. it takes one play to get our qb on the disabled list.
