Sean Payton Players Quotations

I worked with Joe at the Eagles and the one thing you can say is that his players always excel.

We haven't told him anything. We're in the process of staying in touch with his agent and it's a process that's probably not unlike maybe a lot of teams at this time with a handful of players that just haven't been signed yet, so there's really nothing there.

We are putting together a staff of dedicated coaches who know how to relate to players and are teachers.

We've worked hard to fill our coaching staff with assistants who know the game and have excelled at educating players on doing the little things that make a difference.

We've acquired some players because it was an area we felt like we needed to improve and whether or not it's finished there, it's probably too early to say. Some of these guys we've been able to sign we're getting a good look at now and some have more experience than others.

That's how you've got to practice. The message I had for them last night was be prepared for our tempo. They'll get used to that and I think players want that by and large and I think it'll pay off in the long run. But we've got a lot of work to do and a lot of guys sucking some air right now.
