We have a special team, it's that simple, but just being back for the warmup stuff, the pregame stuff, you know what I mean? There’s nothing like being part of this team. I’m just happy that I could get back.

It's great to see it coming together for him.

I think it’s big for all of us, these games build confidence and trust and that’s what it comes down to in the playoffs.

I said, ‘ I know this place. I know it.' I do, some of the best years of my life was here in New Orleans playing in front of these fans. This always will be a special place for me for the rest of my life.

Were about action, and thats what our meeting was about. Its about real action. Weve been saying this, weve been saying that, but whats the action?

We all hurt, were all tired of just seeing the same thing over and over again, and everybody just expects us to be OK just because we get paid great money. Were human. We have real feelings.

It all just came to a head and guys started really communicating and started realizing that you don't have to just shut up and dribble.
