How did it feel when you guys came in and you saw all the fans at the airport waiting for you guys?
“That was tremendous. In my 10 years in the NFL I have never witnessed anything like that. I’ve never witnessed anything like when we lose a game there are still people out there welcoming us back. I knew coming to New Orleans being that I have my wife and family down here, this is a special place. They love their team and the team is a part of the community. You are talking about a couple thousand people out there at 4:30 in the morning welcoming a football team back. You just don’t see that at a lot of other places. It is a credit to the fans and it is a credit to our team that the guys on this team connect with the community even though most of us aren’t from here when we play here, and I have only been here for a year, you start to feel somewhat of a connection with your neighborhood and the people that come to support you every Sunday.”
