Sean Payton Shape Quotations

If you're talking about characteristics in a quarterback, you're looking for guys that are winners. They come in all shapes and sizes. They have to have leadership qualities, and he's gotta be tough.

Specifically, I just think we're not in real good shape right now. I think we've got a lot of work to do. There are a lot of guys struggling with reps.

A poorly conditioned football team gets penalties, a poorly conditioned football team holds, a poorly conditioned football team turns the football over. The other way to look at it is, if your not in shape, you can lose games, so I think being in shape is a must. You need to have stamina ... you need to have some staying power in the fourth quarter to win football games and if you're not I think you're going to lose.

We're not in real good shape right now. ... There are a lot of guys struggling with the reps and we've got to get some of these heavy guys up to speed, quick. We're going to press them hard.
