-- Chad Ochocinco and Shannon Sharpe discuss the Saints W
"We need a regional nickname for the offense like the "Greatest Show on Turf" but Beignets... The Bayou Boys? We'll workshop it"

discusses the vibes of the Saints locker room

@Realrclark25
: They say get you a girl that can do both. They show a woman in a business suit then in a jersey watching the game with you eating nachos. That's the Saints offense. The run game is the nacho eater... The pass game is exquisite, the pass game is upper echelon"
"Taysom Hill can do everything... He is more than just a "wildcat QB"... I'd play him at Sam linebacker and I'd rush him about 50% of the time"

-- Derek Carr on why he chose the Saints while sitting down with Charissa Thompson
"There is some Klint Kubiak as the new hot OC buzz... I'm not gonna trust it... I need a little more evidence.. I find it hard to believe in his early 30s Carr became this gun-slinging leader of a team who is gonna score 500 points in the season"
-- Bill Simmons on the Saints

-- Dennis Allen on Irish Kicker Charlie Smyth hitting the game winning FG
Colin Cowherd: Yesterday was Reclamation Day in the NFL for QBs. Derek Carr crushed it... It proves how important the fit is. That's the best I've ever seen Derek Carr play... Now it was Carolina, but that's as loose and as much as he has ever thrown the ball downfield
