Jim Haslett Time Quotations

He's been a starter for a long time and he's a guy who's been very productive with 1,000-yard rushing seasons,

We just have to fight through it, ... It's going to be a tough year. We don't know where we're going to play. We don't know where we're going to live. We don't know if we're going to play all road games. Any time we step on the field, it's therapeutic.

Part of me says maybe it's time for a change.

I think the team will rally around Todd. This was the time to see if Todd could handle the situation.

I think the time frame gives our fans time to get tickets or do whatever they have to do to get to the stadium.

I think being on the field and in the meetings is a time that's away from all that. It's good for your mind to get on the field and practice and be where you're with your peers.

I think it's a good rivalry. Any time we play them, we rise to the challenge. I think all our football games are close. Even the game we had in Baton Rouge (in November) in front of about 10,000 people, it was one of those battles. It helps when both teams know each other well.

We really never gave Jake an opportunity like this. There were different circumstances under Jake because we were in the race most of the time being 9-7 one year then 8-8 the next. The only time Jake got the opportunity was when Aaron got hurt.

Those people are going through the roughest time in their lives, ... They have nowhere to live. . . . . Everybody on our team is heartbroken. They feel for the people who are going through tough times.

Bah humbug! I've been visited by the ghosts of Saints past, present, and future, and they don't wear white sheets like most ghosts. Instead, they wear brown paper bags over their heads. Anyway, they all said it was time for a change.

If you draft someone in the second round, you should feel comfortable with them. Hopefully, he can get playing time with the first team.

For all of us, it was a time to follow a new direction, to bring closure to what was a disappointing year record-wise and move forward.

I do think that us playing here for the first time will be the first normal week where we've had a routine, unlike last week and the week before. Finally we can settle in.
