Saints vs Panthers Postgame Quotes

WWL.com Reporting
“Just from an injury standpoint, Jabari (Greer) came out for a few plays; he tweaked his groin.
“One of the things we talked about was trying to get our legs back. We played a good team.
“I thought we hung in there in the second half. The kicking game, we won that battle, and that was significant for us. We hung around offensively and got some things going. It’s good to get the win. There’s a lot of things we can improve on. I think it’s a very well coached team we played.
“I thought there was a point in the fourth quarter where the momentum kind of shifted.
(on 8-0 start) “It doesn’t really promise you anything. I’m encouraged with how we’ve been playing. I’m encouraged we’ve been able to win some of these games without playing our best football. I don’t think we’re paying a lot of attention to where this compares to past teams. I think we’re just focused on the job at hand and next week. I’m excited for our players. Early on, it would have been real easy to get discouraged. We battled back and I think all three phases in the second half played well.
“We were getting a lot of coverage. We’re not going to force throws. Carolina did a good job in coverage. Historically, they’ve been a real patient defense. We made a few plays later in the game. I thought the offensive line played well, particularly in the second half.
“I think it’s important to get these guys away for a couple of days and get them rested.
(on resiliency) “That’s been the encouraging thing. The body language is important. We had made a few mistakes. We had the turnover in the red zone just after we had gotten the turnover. Those are all things that can potentially hurt you in a game. You never lose sight of your ability to come back. That was encouraging.
(on Anthony Hargrove) “To his credit, he’s been able to take it one day at a time and work hard. I think the support cast and his decision to seize that opportunity, obviously we’re real proud of him.
(on fourth quarter success this season) “We made a point of emphasis in the offseason of trying to finish. I think we’re playing better defense. I think we’re running the ball better. I think we’re getting turnovers. Those things lend themselves to playing better at the end of the game.
(on Carolina RBs) “Those are two good running backs. Once we got a handle of what they were doing, we were able to hold up. I thought our players, especially as the game went on, did a good job on their run-pass keys.
(on Robert Meachem) “It was big. He made a few big plays in the seams. At different times, you don’t know where the ball’s going to go based on the coverage. Robert took advantage; that was significant.”
