Junior Galette on the roster, but he will likely be a pass-rush specialist in 2012. The Saints also have Greg Romeus, but he has not played a down in the NFL yet and we don't know much about him at all. With that being said, the Saints could use the...
The Panthers will get middle linebacker Jon Beason back from injury, but they might be wise to add a speedy outside linebacker. For the Saints, the big area of need is the front four of the defense. Steve Spagnuolo has replaced Gregg Williams as...

The general feeling in Atlanta, reaching as high as Falcons owner Arthur Blank, is that having winning seasons isn’t enough. The expectation is that Ryan and the Falcons will start winning playoff games and perhaps challenge for a Super Bowl. Saints...
But the defense wasn’t nearly as productive the last two seasons and Williams is gone now. The Saints have replaced him with Steve Spagnuolo and he has an entirely different philosophy than Williams. Spagnuolo’s defense doesn’t use a lot of blitzing...

The will, the fight and the character of our football team came out today ... I believe that. I am very, very proud of our team in that regard. I always will be.
There is something to winning the last game in my opinion
Absolutely not ... They’re playing for a bye week. And I think two teams are going to be going at it with full bore trying to win a football game. I don’t see that changing at all. I really don’t.
I thought we defended most of the runs pretty well
I know this, they play great defense
It went backwards a little bit, so in an effort to get it forward, we just kind of shut him down
His ankle, I told you, it was aggravated in the game
They've got a good defense that rips the ball out, and they've secured the football, too ... I think they've had nine games where they've won the turnover ratio. They're 8-1 (in those games). They've lost the turnover ratio twice and they're 1-1. We always talk about turnovers. Every coach in the league...
And they have worked at it. Josh (McDaniels) has done drills on it. ... Hopefully, we'll clean it up. But I'm with you on that; it makes it hard.
Trust me, nobody feels as bad about it as Sam does
So you grind through practice, you take the runs you're going to see this week and make sure they're not issues, and hopefully you get a better result ... We tighten up in the red zone, but field position is lost. So, we've got to get it corrected.
He’s going to get a little extra conditioning ... We’ve got to get him back up to speed here but I thought he looked all right.
The ankle is still kind of bothering him a little bit
It’ll be tough because it’s all new to him right now, but he’s a guy I’ve known just a little bit from his dad ... You listen to conversations and I’ve heard a lot of good things said about him. He appeared on the waiver wire, we thought it was a good move right now.
He's been terrific ... I love the kid as a person - tremendous character. He was a shot in the arm for us, energy-wise, just stretching the field and some plays that he can make. He's been in the league a long time. He's experienced.
That was all wiped clean ... The Brandon Lloyd I’ve had the privilege working here has been terrific.
He’s been terrific ... I love the kid as a person, tremendous character. Brandon is stepping in there and filling that void (left by injuries to Danny Amendola, Mark Clayton).
A lot of the personnel is the same ... I think they’ve been very productive. They find ways to control the football, very good on play action. We’ve got a lot respect for them.
You saw there that Quintin Mikell made a tremendous effort to get him on the ground ... He was back side, he was a ways away from the play. But the never-say-never, the never-die, the always-fight — I thought Quintin did that. I think our football team does that.
I’d rather have that than people not caring ... I want to thank the fans for their passion, and I mean that sincerely. I know with that it goes both ways. Frustration and disappointment, and their reactions to that. I understand it. I get it.
I do want to point out, I think that’s very reflective of the guys in that locker room
But once we had the false start, the sack, at that point I said in my mind, 'I want to get us settled down. I want to make sure we come away with points here.'
Do we want to get a touchdown? Yeah
Three timeouts, it's a field goal difference in the game ... If we stop them on third down, it was third-and-5, I believe ... (we) turn it over to our offense with no timeouts, maybe with one. I don't think I would change on that one either.
