Drew Brees Good Quotations

I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.

We can kick ourselves all we want, but it's not going to do us any good except probably make us mad.

We were tying to go down and get points and pad that lead, but they did a good job getting back into the game. But our defense did a heck of a job holding them.

And then obviously our team, we had better people, high-character guys, good leadership. It's just one of those things. In '03, everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. And then last year, everything that could have gone right went right. We were not a 4-12 team in '03, even though our record showed that. We were better than that. Just due to circumstances, that's the way we finished. We all got stronger through that experience. I don't think we could have accomplished what we did last year if we hadn't gone through that in '03.

This is a big statement, but we could be as good as any offense ever,

The whole team has tried to do too much. That's what happens sometimes when you have success. You feel like you just need to do better than better. At times, better is good enough to win. I think you can try too hard.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays. That's what I did.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays, ... That's what I did.

A good friend of mine once told me that each morning when you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week from now or a month from now - just think about one day at a time. If you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you. Win the day!

I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.

The guy is super athletic. Handing the ball off to him in nine- and 10-man fronts, when you bottle him up like that, that's hard for anybody. But you get him out in space, good luck tackling him, and especially on turf.

It doesn't matter who is coming in. We just need a win. He's a good player and he's having a good year. They're a tough team. We have our work cut out for us.

Not only is he good on grass, but you put him on turf, and he's even better, because he was making guys miss out there and it wasn't even funny. I got to see it firsthand, best seat in the house.

Nothing was perfect obviously. We missed a lot of opportunities offensively. But when you can play like that and still get a win, that's a good sign.

Mini-camp would be five months, so by that point I should be full speed. I'm going to do everything that I can to get back as soon as possible. The real date that is most important is early September. I need to make sure I'm good to go by then.

It's about time something good like this happened,
