NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (1-1) TO HOST HOUSTON

TEXANS (2-0) IN SUPERDOME SHOWDOWN

THE COACHES

Sean Payton has posted a 50-32 regular season

record and a 4-2 postseason mark, guiding the team to

the Super Bowl XLIV championship. He’s the club’s

lone head coach to open a season with 13 straight wins

and post a 13-game win streak, and has the franchise’s

top all-time winning percentage (.610). Since 2006, the

Saints are tied for the best winning percentage in the

NFC, fourth in the NFL. Payton’s 25-16 (.610) home

record and 25-16 (.610) road mark are the club’s top

winning percentages. He’s recorded a 39-23 (.629)

mark vs. NFC opponents. Since taking over, the Saints

have the best record among NFC South teams. In

2006, he took the Saints to the NFC Championship and

was named NFL Coach of the Year by most major out-

lets. Calling offensive plays, the Saints are one of only

two teams to finish in the top 10 in net yards per game

each season since 2006.

Payton was hired as New Orleans’ 14th head coach

on Jan. 18, 2006, after serving on the Dallas Cowboys

staff from 2003-2005. Prior to joining the Cowboys,

Payton served on the New York Giants staff from 1999-

2002, including the final three seasons as offensive co-

ordinator. His tenure was highlighted by a Super Bowl

berth in his first full season as coordinator. Payton’s

prior NFL coaching experience came as quarterbacks

coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1997-98.

Houston head coach Gary Kubiak took the Hous-

ton Texans coaching reins in 2006. Kubiak is in his 18th

season as an NFL coach and sixth leading the Texans

franchise. Kubiak played for the Denver Broncos from

1983-91 as the backup for Hall of Fame quarterback

John Elway. Kubiak started his coaching career at his

alma mater Texas A&M from 1992-93. After one sea-

son tutoring 49ers QB Steve Young for the Super Bowl

Champion San Francisco 49ers in 1994, he returned to

Denver, where he served as offensive coordinator from

1995-2005. Kubiak also coached quarterbacks from

1995-2002. Kubiak has a 39-43 record and is the fran-

chise’s winningest head coach all-time.

SERIES HISTORY

The regular season series between Houston and New

Orleans is currently knotted at 1-1, with each club win-

ning the respective contest at their home stadium. Even

though they’ve met only twice in the regular season, the

Saints and the Texans have great familiarity, as they’ve

met five times in the preseason, including each season

since 2008, with the Texans having defeated the Saints

20-13 most recently on August 20 at Houston’s Reliant

NEW ORLEANS-HOUSTON PREVIEW

SAINTS-TEXANS SPECIFICS

WEEK 1: Green Bay Packers 42, Saints 34; Sep-

tember 8, 2011 @ Lambeau Field – New Orleans fell

to the Packers in the NFL’s kickoff contest, despite re-

bounding from a third quarter 15-point deficit to be with-

ing a touchdown and two-point conversion at the Green

Bay one-yard line for an untimed play following a pass

interference penalty. New Orleans was also aided by a

second quarter dramatic 72-yard punt return for a

touchdown by RB Darren Sproles, but the Saints

would be victimized by losing the turnover battle, some

struggles on short yardage and an explosive Packers

offense.

New Orleans QB Drew Brees completed 32 of 49

passes for 419 yards with three touchdown passes.

Sproles led the Saints with 250 all-purpose yards, which

would be the most by a Saint since 2008 and the sec-

ond-highest week one NFL total.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of 35

passes for 312 yards with three touchdown passes.

Green Bay WR Greg Jennings recorded seven

catches for 89 yards with one touchdown. Packers RB

James Starks rushed 12 times for 57 yards, including

a second quarter 17-yard touchdown burst.

• New Orleans outgained Green Bay in total net

yardage 477-399, but the Packers held the ball for

32:54 of the contest in winning the time of possession

battle.

• In his Saints debut, Sproles led the Saints in receiving

(7 catches for 75 yards), while his 72-yard punt return

for a score was the third of his career, also running back

a kickoff 57 yards.

• WR Devery Henderson added six receptions for 100

yards and a 100-yard TD, the first time he reached the

century mark since 2009.

• S Roman Harper led the Saints with ten tackles

(seven solo) and also split a sack of Rodgers with DE

Junior Galette

• The Saints fell to 7-15 against the Packers in the all-

time series, losing to Green Bay for the first time to

them since 2005.

• The Saints had two rookies in the starting lineup on

opening day (Ingram and DE Cameron Jordan) for the

first time since the 2008 season (DE Sedrick Ellis and

CB Tracy Porter).

WEEK 2: Saints 30, Chicago Bears 13; Sept. 18,

2011 @ Louisiana Superdome – The Saints got in the

win column for the 2011 season with an impressive ef-

fort on offense, defense and special teams.

The Saints defense surrendered only 246 yards of

total offense, sacked Bears QB Jay Cutler six times

and stopped the Bears on all but two of their third down

attempts (2-12).

After trailing 7-0 in the first quarter, the Saints

scored 16 unanswered points in the second half and

widened what was a six-point halftime lead (16-10) to a

17-point lead as they surrendered only three points in

the second half. QB Drew Brees threw three scores

and scored on an eight yard TD run to stake the Saints

to a commanding lead.

• Brees would complete 26-of-37 passes on the day for

270 yards with three touchdown passes and a passer

rating of 118.1.

• DE Junior Galette and S Roman Harper had two

sacks apiece in an effort that saw six takedowns. DE

Turk McBride had his first sack as a Saint in the third

quarter and forced Cutler to fumble, as LB Jonathan

Vilma recovered for the Saints. Five plays later, New

Orleans would score a touchdown off the third quarter

turnover.

• WR Devery Henderson had three receptions for a

team-leading 103 yards (34.3 avg.), including a 79-yard

touchdown reception. It was the second straight game

that Henderson reached the century mark in yardage,

the second time in his career he has done so and first

since 2006

• The Saints defense surrendered a only 246 total net

yards. They held Chicao to only 60 yards on the

ground, as starting RB Matt Forte rushed for only 49

yards on ten carries. S Roman Harper led the team

with six tackles (five solo).

• Brees’ 79-yard scoring throw to Henderson opened up

a 13-point second quarter that extended New Orleans’

lead to 16-7.

• K John Kasay kicked three field goals, giving him 438

for his career and moving him past Jason Elam for

sixth place in NFL history. Kasay’s 53-yard field goal in

the second quarter was the 41st field goal of 50 or more

yards in his career, breaking a tie with former Saint

Morten Andersen for second place all-time in NFL his-

tory. Jason Hanson (45 entering today) holds the NFL

record for most field goals of 50 or more yards.

2011 GAME SUPERLATIVES REVIEW

Since he was named head coach in 2006, the Saints

have enjoyed a significant turnaround under Payton,

leading them to three postseason appearances and the

Super Bowl XLIV title, posting a 50-32 (.610) regular

season record and 4-2 postseason mark. He holds the

top winning percentage for a Saints coach all-time. No

NFC team has won more games during this period and

only four AFC clubs have more victories.

Payton’s home and road (25-16, .610) winning per-

centages are tops in club history. He’s recorded a 39-23

(.629) mark vs. NFC opponents. New Orleans’ 17-13

division record is best in the NFC South. Under his su-

pervision, the offense has been ranked first in yards per

game three of the last five seasons.

New Orleans has excelled in the biggest spotlight under

Payton. 8 of the club’s 13 victories on Monday Night

Football have occurred since 2006. New Orleans has

posted an 11-6 record in primetime since 2006. The

Saints are the only NFC South club to capture two divi-

sion titles since 2006.

makers with 22 career TD receptions to rank eighth in

club history. In 2010, he made 66 catches for 763 yards

(11.6 avg.) with a team-best eight TD grabs.

SEAN PAYTON NOTES TEAM NOTES

BUCKING THE ODDS

Players whose names are not called in the NFL draft

often face challenging odds in sticking on a team. Yet,

the Saints roster features 17 who have bucked con-

vention. Among of the most notable undrafted players

on the club are Moore, Dunbar, S Isa Abdul-Quddus,

LB Jonathan Casillas, DE Jeff Charleston, DE Jun-

ior Galette, CB Jabari Greer, K Garrett Hartley and

RB Pierre Thomas.

After making the club’s 53-man roster as an undrafted

free agent out of Fordham, Abdul-Quddus has played a

key role in the club’s special teams units with one tackle

and one forced fumble.

Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2009 out

of Wisconsin, Casillas started two games as a rookie

and also played a key role on special teams on the

Super Bowl championship squad. Fully recovered from

a 2010 foot injury that cost him the season after push-

ing for a starting role in training camp, Casillas is ranked

third on the club with two sacks in 2011.

Originally signed by Houston as an undrafted free agent

in 2006, Charleston spent 2007 with Indianapolis.

Picked up by the Saints at midseason in 2008,

Charleston’s appeared in 43 games for New Orleans

and recorded six sacks, two forced fumbles, one re-

covery and 31 special teams tackles.

Signed as undrafted free agent in 2010 out of Stillman

College after starting his undergraduate career at Tem-

ple, Galette has evolved into one of the club’s most

feared pass rushers, tying for the team lead with 2.5

quarterback takedowns in 2011.

A 2004 undrafted signing by Buffalo out of Tennessee,

Greer’s become one of the NFL’s elite defenders. Join-

ing New Orleans in 2009, He often covers the opposi-

tion’s top wideouts. Greer’s returned two interceptions

for touchdowns as a Saint and has recorded 25 pass

defenses.

Signed by New Orleans at midseason in 2008, Hartley

has made 42-of-49 field goal attempts, as well as nail-

ing the game-winning kick in the NFC Championship

and being the only kicker in Super Bowl history to make

three attempts of 40 yards or more.

Signed after the 2007 draft, Thomas led the club in

rushing in 2008 and 2009, scoring 23 touchdowns as a

Saint.

SCORING EXPLOSION

Since 2006, the Saints have scored an average of 27.0

points per game (2,183 points) in 82 regular season

games, ranking third in the NFL. During this period

since Payton became head coach, New Orleans has

scored 20 or more points in 64 games (78.1%) and 30

or more points in 37 contests (45.1%).

Ahead is a synopsis of the Saints offensive line:

LT Jermon Bushrod - A 2007 fourth round draft pick,

this promising young lineman has helped the Saints

continue to run as one of the NFL’s highest-ranked of-

fenses. The Towson product has continued adding

strength and working on his technique as he continues

to line up against many of the NFL’s elite pass rushers

entering his third season as a starter on one of the of-

fensive line’s most challenging positions.

LG Carl Nicks - This 6-5, 343 pound mauler who was

a 2008 fifth-round draft choice, has needed very little

time to make a smooth transition to life in the NFL

trenches. Selected for All-Rookie honors by several

publications, Nicks has opened every contest since the

fourth of his first year and combines with Jahri Evans

for one of the NFL’s top young interior offensive line

combinations, as the two were both selected to the Pro

Bowl in 2010.

C Olin Kreutz - This six-time Pro Bowl selection was

lured to New Orleans to anchor the middle of the offen-

sive line. A third round draft pick of the Chicago Bears

in 1998, the former University of Washington standout

has appeared in 193 career NFL games with 185 starts,

appearing in every game with the exception of one

RG Jahri Evans - The 2006 fourth round draft choice

has made a rapid ascent from his small school roots at

Bloomsburg into one of the NFL’s top guards. Evans

was has been named to two consecutive Pro Bowls,

elected as a starter. His 82 straight starts with the Saints

is the longest streak in team history among offensive

linemen to begin a career, second overall among

Saints, the most by a current Saint and also tied for the

fourth-longest current streak by an active NFL guard.

Re-signed to a seven-year contract in 2010, Evans is a

cornerstone of the line for years to come.

T Zach Strief - This 2006 seventh round pick out of

Northwestern has appeared in 73 regular season

games, most recently becoming the club’s starting

tackle on the right side in 2011. The versatile Strief has

also served as an extra blocking tight end in short

yardage situations.

T Charles Brown - Considered one of the top blockers

in the 2010 NFL draft, as a rookie, the club’s second-

round pick provided depth at both tackle spots, ap-

pearing in three games, contributing primarily on

special teams as a rookie. A first-team All-Pac-10 se-

lection as a senior and two-year starter at left tackle at

Southern Califonria, Brown will serve as the club’s pri-

mary backup at both tackle positions, also serving as a

blocking tight end.

Shrewd roster moves in free agency and the draft and

the tutelage of coordinator Gregg Williams and his de-

fensive coaching staff have produced an opportunistic,

resurgent unit, resulting in a improvement to a defense

that has moved up significantly in the league rankings

in several categories since 2008. The improvement

continued into 2010 as they finished ranked fourth in

the NFL in opponent yards per game, fourth against the

pass and seventh in opponent points per game.

YARDAGE IMPROVEMENT

After finishing ranked ranked 25th in the NFL in total net

yardage surrendered (357.8 yards per game) in 2010,

the Saints improved their ranking to fourth (306.3 ypg.)

in 2010.

DREW BREES

• Since arriving in New Orleans in 2006, Brees has

ranked among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, throwing

for 4,000 or more yards each season and ranking at

the top or among leaders in nearly every passing cate-

gory, breaking nearly every club record. His list of

achievements culminated with leading his club to the

Super Bowl XLIV Championship.

• The five-time Pro Bowl selection has gotten off to a

sterling start in 2011, completing 58-of-86 throws

(67.4%) for 689 yards with six touchdown passes, zero

interceptions and a 114.9 passer rating. Brees is cur-

rently ranked first in the NFL in third down passer rating

(157.7), third in overall passer rating and fourth in

yardage and touchdown passes.

• Few players in the free agency era have made the im-

pact both on and off the field that Brees has had on the

Saints. Since arriving in 2006 after spending the first

five years of his career with the San Diego Chargers, he

leads the league with 23,607 yards, 161 touchdown

passes, 3,099 attempts, 2,078 completions, a 67.1

completion percentage, 38 games with at least 300

yards, six with at least 400 yards and 177 completions

of 25 yards or more.

• Brees’ passing yardage total from 2007-10 was the

most in a four-year period in NFL history and his total

from 2006-10 is the most in a five-year period. Brees is

the first quarterback in league record books to pass for

at least 20,000 yards and 150 touchdowns in the first

five seasons with a new team.

• Brees has been selected to play in four Pro Bowls as

a Saint, five overall including once with San Diego in

2004. He’s been selected twice as the NFC’s starting

signal caller. Brees is the only Saints quarterback to be

selected to the All-Star game more than twice. His four

selections as a Saint are tied for fourth all-time in club

record books.

• With a 50-31 regular season record in contests he’s

started since signing with the Saints, Brees has the

fourth-most victories by NFL quarterbacks since 2006,

the most by a Saints signal caller all-time. Including four

postseason victories, he has 53 total wins as a Saint.

His 13-game winning streak in 2009 is the longest by a

New Orleans signal-caller in team record books.

• Brees has helped lead the Saints to numerous dra-

matic comebacks since in 2006. He’s engineered 15

regular season game-winning drives in the fourth quar-

ter and overtime, including five in 2010. Brees also en-

gineered a pair of comebacks in the club’s 2009

postseason, including in overtime of the NFC Champi-

onship game and a fourth quarter scoring drive in Super

Bowl XLIV.

• In his ten-year NFL career, Brees has completed

3,203-of-4,908 passes (65.3%) for 35,955 yards, 241

touchdown throws and a 92.1 passer rating. He’s the

league’s third-most accurate passer all-time, owns the

NFL’s ninth-best passer rating ever, is ranked 16th in

passing yardage and 17th in touchdown passes.

• Overall in seven postseason games, Brees has com-

pleted 189-of-285 passes (66.3%) for 2,052 yards with

15 touchdown passes, two interceptions and a 102.0

passer rating.

• Brees was named the 2010 Sports Illustrated Sports-

man of the Year, the 57th honoree of the award since

the magazine’s founding in 1954, which is based on

both his on the field and off the field accomplishments.

He also was only the fourth quarterback to be honored

as the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year.

sons. Brees is the first player in league annals to be

named Offensive Player of the Week three times in

back-to-back years.

2 – NFC Offensive Player of the Month awards won by

Brees in his career, capturing the honor in September

of 2008 and 2009.

419 yards, tied for the sixth-highest total in franchise

history, three TDs and a 112.5 passer rating. Brees had

a perfect 158.3 passer rating on third down, complet-

ing eight-of-nine throws for 129 yards with two TDs.

Trailing 42-34 with only 1:08 remaining and starting at

their 20, Brees led the Saints to the Packers one-yard

line for a final play that could have tied the game, com-

pleting five-of-six throws for 71 yards.

Sept. 18, vs. Chicago: Brees led the Saints to their first

victory of the season in their home opener when he

completed 26-of-37 passes for 270 yards with touch-

down passes to WR Devery Henderson, WR Robert

Meachem and RB Darren Sproles, zero interceptions

and a 118.1 passer rating. Brees’ 79-yard touchdown

throw to Henderson gave New Orleans a 10-7 second

quarter lead they would not relinquish. It was the

longest play from scrimmage by the Saints in nearly a

year. He also tossed a touchdown for the 29th straight

game, putting him at fourth on the NFL’s all-time list.

Brees’ three touchdown passes increased his career

total to 241, passing fellow Purdue Alumnu Len Daw-

in 2010 with one start and recorded 35 tackles (21

solo), three sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble re-

covery and two pass defenses, while adding seven spe-

cial teams stops.

DE JUNIOR GALETTE

• Galette is a speed-rushing defensive end who also

has excelled on the club’s special teams coverage

units. One of two undrafted free agents to make the

Saints opening day roster in 2010, Galette saw limited

action on defense and contributed to special teams as

a rookie.

DEFENSIVE ENDS

By The Numbers

• In 2011, Galette has seen extensive action in the

club’s defensive line rotation and is tied for the team

lead and tied for fourth in the NFC and fifth in the NFL

with 2.5 sacks.

• In his most extensive action to date, Galette had three

tackles (one solo) and split a sack of QB Aaron

Rodgers with S Roman Harper to record his first ca-

reer takedown in the season opener at Green Bay,

Sept. 8.

• Galette tied for the team lead with Harper in record-

ing two quarterback takedowns of Cutler vs. Chicago,

Sept. 18.

DE CAMERON JORDAN

• New Orleans’ first pick in the 2011 draft (24th overall)

out of the University of California was a four-year let-

terman, who played both left and right defensive end in

a 3-4 alignment and appeared in 50 games with 33

starts. He ended his college career with 175 tackles (88

solo), 16.5 sacks for minus-89 yards, 34 tackles for a

loss of 122 yards, four forced fumbles, four fumble re-

coveries, one interception and five pass defenses. Pos-

sessing a non-stop motor, he was stout against the run

and emerged as one of the elite pass rushers in the col-

legiate ranks for the Golden Bears. As a senior in 2010,

the defensive team captain started all 12 games at left

defensive end in 3-4 and recorded 62 tackles (33 solo),

5.5 sacks for minus-32 yards, 12.5 stops behind the line

of scrimmage, three forced fumbles, one recovered for

a touchdown and four pass defenses. Jordan is ex-

pected to contribute in the club’s defensive line rotation

in 2011.

SEDRICK ELLIS

• The seventh choice in the 2008 NFL draft out of the

University of Southern California, Ellis led the Saints in

2010 with a career-high six sacks, tied for fourth in the

league among defensive tackles, and also recorded a

career-best 78 tackles (30 solo), to rank first on the line,

one forced fumble and three pass defenses.

3. Tommy Kelly, Oak. 7

4t. Sedrick Ellis, NO 6

4t. Fred Robbins, StL 6

4t. Antonio Garay, SD 6

• Ellis has opened all 41 games he’s played in his NFL

career. His combination of skills to both defend against

the run and ability to rush the passer effectively have

been an asset to the New Orleans defensive line rota-

tion. He’s posted 171 tackles (74 solo), 12 sacks, 12

passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble

recovery.

SHAUN ROGERS

• In 11 NFL seasons, Rogers has started 124 of 142

games, recording 575 tackles, 38 sacks, one intercep-

tion, 24 pass defenses, four forced fumbles and eight

fumble recoveries. The three-time Pro Bowl selection,

who spent the last three seasons with the Cleveland

Browns, is expected to help the interior of the line in

both stopping the run and rushing the passer. The for-

mer University of Texas standout has also taken ad-

vantage of his powerful build to block 14 field goal

attempts in his career.

AUBRAYO FRANKLIN

• Franklin comes to New Orleans after playing an in-

strumental role as a starter on the San Francisco 49ers

defensive line from 2007-10. A stalwart against the run,

Franklin played a big role in the 49ers holding oppo-

nents to 3.7 yards per carry from 2007-10, ranked

fourth in the NFL in this period. Originally a fifth round

draft choice of the Baltimore Ravens in 2003, Franklin’s

appeared in 100 games with 63 starts and has recorded

380 tackles (199 solo), four sacks, one interception,

eight pass defenses, three forced fumbles and one fum-

ble recovery.

SCOTT SHANLE

• Shanle’s been a vastly underrated and vital part of the

defense since arriving in 2006. He’s a three-down line-

backer who can blitz, cover running backs and tight

ends and fill holes in the running attack. Making 572

tackles since 2006, Shanle has more stops than any

other Saints defender during this period.

• In 2010, Shanle finished the regular season ranked

third on the club with 98 tackles (46 solo) with three

passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble

recovery. Again in 2011, he’s among team leaders with

ten tackles (four solo) with a special teams stop.

JONATHAN VILMA

• Vilma’s brought a blend of youth and experience to

the middle of the defense. The University of Miami

(Fla.) product is one of the top middle linebackers in the

NFL and has earned three Pro Bowl selections in his

career, two coming as a Saint the last two seasons.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES

LINEBACKERS

• Through eight NFL seasons, the last four in New Or-

leans, he’s recorded 886 tackles (592 solo), 11 inter-

ceptions, 9.5 sacks, ten forced fumbles, eight fumble

recoveries and 34 pass defenses, starting 102 of the

104 regular season games he’s played in. Vilma has

recorded at 100 tackles in six of his first seven cam-

paigns, only missing out in 2007 due to a season-end-

ing knee injury.

• Vilma’s 11 picks since 2004 are tied for fourth among

NFL linebackers. His five since 2008 when he joined

the Saints are tied for fifth.

tains in 2010, Vilma made a significant impact on and

off the field and throughout the categories of the defen-

sive stat sheet, leading New Orleans with 131 tackles

(69 solo), two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery one

interception, four passes defensed and a career-high

four sacks, which ranked third on the club. In 2011, he’s

ranked second on the club with 14 stops (nine solo) and

one fumble recovery.

WILL HERRING

• Competing for a starting position on the outside with

the Saints, Herring has recorded 78 tackles (61 solo),

one sack, one interception, three passes defended, and

2 forced fumbles in his five-year NFL career with 34

special teams tackles. He spent his first four seasons in

Seattle before joining the Saints as an unrestricted free

agent. Herring has started 9 games and appeared in 55

contests since being drafted by Seattle in the fifth round

of the 2007 draft. In 2010, he played in 15 games and

finished with 26 tackles (22 solo), one sack, one inter-

ception, two pass defenses and one forced fumble. A

standout on coverage units, Herring also finished with

ten special teams tackles.

JO-LONN DUNBAR

• Since joining the club as an undrafted free agent in

2008, Dunbar’s been an asset on defense and special

teams, possessing the ability to play all three positions.

Appearing in 39 career games with 14 starts, he’s made

79 tackles (42 solo), one sack, five pass defenses, a

forced fumble, a fumble recovery and 32 special teams

stops. Dunbar has appeared in both games, with one

start at strongside in 2011 and has six tackles (four

solo).

JONATHAN CASILLAS

• After starting two games in place of an injured Shanle

as an undrafted rookie in 2009, collecting 20 defensive

tackles and five special teams stops, Casillas was

primed for a starting role in 2010 before he suffered a

season-ending foot injury in the preseason finale. Fully

recovered following surgery, Casillas has seen exten-

sive action on the outside in 2011 and has recorded five

tackles and two sacks to rank third on the Saints.

TRACY PORTER

• The fleet-footed Porter, the club’s 2008 second-round

draft choice out of Indiana University has been a starter

since day one in the New Orleans secondary. In 2010,

the Port Allen native finished among leaders in the

Saints defensive backfield with 63 tackles (48 solo) to

go with one interception, one fumble recovery and eight

pass defenses despite undergoing knee surgery that

caused him to miss four games before returning in

week nine.

JABARI GREER

• Greer was a significant offseason addition in 2009 as

an free agent signing from Buffalo that has bolstered

the Saints secondary. Greer has evolved from the role

of undrafted special teams demon to covering the NFL’s

top wideouts. One of the NFL’s fastest players, Greer

has returned two interceptions for touchdown as a

Saint, four overall in his eight-year NFL career which

began as an undrafted free agent.

• In 2011, Greer leads Saints cornerbacks in stops and

pass breakups with ten tackles (six solo) and three pass

defenses and is tied for the team lead with one forced

fumble.

PATRICK ROBINSON

• The 2010 first round draft pick possesses the speed

needed to keep up with the NFL’s fastest wideouts and

outstanding ball skills. Over his four-year college career

at Florida State, he played 45 games with 25 starts and

posted 117 tackles, seven interceptions, 21 pass de-

fenses, a blocked punt and four forced fumbles, earn-

ing second-team All-ACC, recording 52 tackles, 11 pass

defenses and two forced fumbles as a senior.

CORNERBACKS

• Robinson appeared in 11 games and made four starts

in his 2010 rookie campaign, recording 25 tackles (20

solo), three pass defenses and four special teams

stops.

LEIGH TORRENCE

• Acquired by the Saints off the waiver wire in 2008, Tor-

rence has been an integral part of the club’s special

teams units. In his five-year NFL career, He’s recorded

77 tackles (56 solo), 2.5 sacks, one interception, seven

pass defenses and 56 special teams stops.

• In 2011, Torrence has seen extensive action in nickel

and dime packages and has contributed three tackles,

while ranking first on the Saints with three special teams

stops.

ROMAN HARPER

• For the past five seasons, this hard hitter has been

one of the Saints’ most consistent and dependable per-

formers in the defensive backfield. The team’s second

round draft choice in 2006 and the longest-tenured

member of the secondary, has started all 69 games he’s

been active for at strong safety and has recorded 477

stops (340 solo), 12 sacks, four interceptions, 35 pass

defenses and 11 forced fumbles and one fumble re-

covery. He’s the only Saints safety to have been se-

lected to two Pro Bowls.

• In 2011, Harper has filled up the defensive stat sheet

for the Saints as the hard-hitter leads the team with 16

tackles (12 solo) and has tied for the lead with 2.5

sacks, which is tied for fourth in the NFC and fifth in the

NFL, while adding one pass defense.

• This sure tackler and fierce blitzer has recorded 12

sacks since his NFL debut in 2006, ranked first in the

league at his position during this period and first among

Saints safeties all-time. His 11 forced fumbles since

2006 ranks first on the club over the period, fourth

among NFL safeties and first among Saints safeties.

MALCOLM JENKINS

• A consensus All-American at Ohio State and the top-

rated defensive back in the 2009 NFL Draft, where he

was picked 14th overall, Jenkins converted to free

safety in 2010, ranking second in the secondary with

82 tackles (56 solo), two interceptions, one returned for

a TD, one sack, a team-leading 11 pass defenses, one

forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Jenkins was

named NFC Defensive Player of the Week twice, the

most by a Saints defender since 2001 and was named

an Associated Press second-team All-Pro in his first

season at a new position. The NFL weekly honors

came twice in a three week period.

• Jenkins made one of the NFL season’s most spec-

tacular plays at Dallas, Nov. 25, when he stripped Cow-

boys WR Roy Williams of the ball at the New Orleans

11 yard line with just over three minutes remaining, to

give New Orleans the ball back for their game-winning

drive. His play in the contest earned him NFC Defen-

sive Player of the Week honors.

• Jenkins’ second quarter 96-yard interception return for

a touchdown vs. St. Louis, Dec. 12, gave New Orleans

a 21-6 lead. It was the fourth-longest return in Saints

history. He added another pick in the red zone in the

second half for five yards, making his 105 return yards,

the second-best figure in club history. He was named

NFC Defensive Player of the Week for the second time

in three weeks.

JONATHON AMAYA

• Amaya joined the Saints entering his second NFL sea-

son after the former Dolphin was acquired via a trade at

the start of training camp. The former University of Ne-

vada standout spent time on the Dolphins practice

squad in 2010 after being signed as a rookie free agent

following the NFL draft. Amaya was added to the team’s

active roster at midseason and the safety made his

most significant contributions on special teams, leading

the Dolphins with 15 tackles and one fumble recovery

while appearing in 10 games. Amaya, who recorded

one interception in the preseason, is expected to con-

tribute both in the club’s nickel and dime packages as

well as on special teams.

SAFETIES

SPECIALISTS

• K Garrett Hartley has made 42-of-49 (85.7%) field

goal attempts in 27 games over three seasons. In his

first full NFL season in 2010, Hartley drilled 20-of-25

(80%) attempts, as he had 100 total points and four

touchbacks on kickoffs.

• Hartley’s 13 consecutive successful field goals in

2008, is tied for the third longest streak by an NFL

rookie. His first field goal at Washington, Dec. 6, 2009

and 14th straight overall, broke a ten-year-old league

record for consecutive field goals to start a career. With

his first two subsequent successful attempts carrying

over into the 2009 season, he had booted 16 straight

field goals, before the first miss of his career. Most re-

cently, Hartley has drilled 14-of-15 field goal attempts.

• K John Kasay aquired in training camp, is one the of

best kickers in NFL history and the NFL’s longest

tenured player entering his 21st season. He comes to

New Orleans after spending the last 16 seasons with

the Carolina Panthers, where he ranks as the club’s all-

time leader in most scoring categories and games plays

(221). Originally breaking into the professional ranks a

fourth-round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 1991,

Kasay ranks eighth in NFL history for points scored with

1,845, while his 438 field goals rank sixth in league his-

tory. He ranks second in points and field goals made

among active kickers behind Jason Hanson. Kasay has

made at least one field goal of at least 50 yards in 18 of

his 20 NFL seasons.

• In substitute for an injured Hartley, Kasay leads the

NFL in scoring among kickers with 22 points, as he is a

perfect five-for-five on field goal attempts, tying for the

league lead in field goal conversions.

• Kasay enjoyed a perfect start to his Saints career in

the season opener at Green Bay, Sept. 8, when he

drilled both field goal attempts and four extra points.

• John Kasay kicked three field goals on three attempts

vs. Chicago, Sept. 18, giving him 438 for his career and

moving him past Jason Elam for sixth place in NFL his-

tory. His 53-yard field goal in the second quarter was

the 41st field goal of 50 or more yards in his career,

breaking a tie with former Saints K Morten Andersen

for second place all-time in NFL history. Hanson (46)

holds the NFL record for most field goals of 50 or more

yards.

• P Thomas Morstead, the club’s fifth round draft pick

in 2009, was among the nation’s top punters at South-

ern Methodist University. In 2011, he’s ranked fourth in

the NFC and fifth in the NFL with a 43.7 net average on

seven punts, including one pinned inside the 20-yard

line. Also handling kickoffs, eight of his kicks have

sailed into the end zone to rank second in the confer-

ence and tie for second in the league.

age units in 2011 include Abdul-Quddus, Amaya,

Charleston, Dunbar, DE Junior Galette, FB Korey

Hall, Herring, Harper, Jenkins, Robinson, WR Court-

ney Roby, Shanle and Torrence.

• The only undrafted rookie to make the 53-man open-

ing day roster, Quddus has beaten the odds coming out

of Fordham and has one special teams stop and a

• Dunbar has started 14 games since coming to the club

as an undrafted free agent in 2008 and has also been

among their leaders with 32 special teams stops. He

has the ability to play all three linebacker positions.

• Galette is one of two undrafted rookies who made the

2010 opening day 53-man roster. He had a career-high

three special teams stops of his career at Baltimore,

Dec. 19, 2010.

• Hall, is a five-year NFL veteran who joined the Saints

as an unrestricted free agent from Green Bay in train-

ing camp, where he recorded 52 special teams tackles,

including leading the Super Bowl XLV champions with

15 stops in 2010.

• In addition to serving as the club’s starting strong

safety since being drafted in 2006, Harper has also ex-

celled in spot duty on special teams with 36 career

stops during his career, including nine in 2010.

• The size and speed that aids Herring at outside line-

backer also assists him on special teams, where he’s

recorded 34 stops.

SPECIAL TEAMS

• In addition to possessing the ability to play either

safety or cornerback, Jenkins’ combination of instincts

and intelligence make him one of the club’s most tal-

ented special teams players. In two seasons he’s

recorded 12 tackles, two forced fumbles and a recovery.

• In addition to starting four games as a rookie in 2010,

Robinson, the club’s first round pick has contributed

season opener at Green Bay, Sept. 8, Roby sprung a

key block for his cousin Sproles on a 72-yard punt re-

turn for a touchdown.

• Shanle has recorded 33 career special teams tackles,

including one in the season opener at Green Bay, Sept.

8, and is an eager participant down the sidelines when

called into coverage duty.

• Torrence is a five-year NFL veteran who enters his

fourth season in New Orleans. He’s been a contributor

both in multiple DB packages, making 80 tackles

(59solo), 2.5 sacks, one interception and seven pass

defenses to go with 56 special teams stops in his NFL

career, including a team-leading three in 2011.

RETURN UNITS

• Sproles is expected to be the club’s primary kickoff

and punt returner. He displayed his burst in the season

opener at Green Bay, Sept. 8, when he had a 72-yard

punt return for a touchdown and also had a 57-yard run-

back on a kickoff. For his career, Sproles has recorded

three punt returns for touchdowns and has also brought

two kickoffs into the end zone.

• Moore has extensive experience in the punt return

game, with the burst necessary for the position, aver-

aging a club best 10.2 yards per return in 2010.

• Roby reprised his role returning kickoffs in 2010, prior

to suffering a season-ending concussion in December.

He ranks fourth all-time in club record books with a 25.6

kickoff return average.

• Henderson and Meachem also have the ability and

speed to handle kickoff returns. Henderson handled

kickoff returns in the 2010 regular season finale and the

playoff contest. Meachem also has experience on the

return unit.

In just five seasons as Head

Coach of the New Orleans

Saints, Sean Payton’s estab-

lished himself as one of the most

successful coaches in the NFL.

Since coming to New Orleans,

Payton has led the Saints to

their first Super Bowl title and

two division titles. During his

tenure, he has compiled a 53-33

record and his teams have

reached the postseason three

times. Payton was hired as the

14th head coach in Saints his-

tory on Jan. 18, 2006 after being

a member of the Dallas Cow-

boys staff since 2003. In 2011 he

enters his 15th season in the

NFL and 23rd in coaching.

In this five-year span, he holds

the top winning percentage

(.616) for a Saints coach all-time. No NFC team has

won more than the 53 contests Payton has won during

this period and only four AFC clubs have more. His 53

wins are the most during any five-year span in Saints

history and tied for the second-most by an NFL coach

during this period. He’s posted a 4-2 (.667) mark in the

postseason after the team had won only one playoff

game prior to his arrival.

Serving as the club’s play-caller, Payton’s presided

over the most prolific offense in the NFL, leading the

league in yards per game three times and finishing first

in scoring in 2008 and 2009. These are the only three

times the Saints have led the NFL in total offense. In

franchise history, the Saints have scored at least 45

points 10 times. Six of these outputs have occurred

under Payton’s watch.

In 2010 Payton led the Saints to their second straight

postseason appearance and third in five seasons with

an 11-5 record, becoming only the second Saints

coach to post three double-digit win seasons. It was

only the second time that the Saints had back-to-back

seasons of at least 11 wins. The club had six road wins

in 2010 as they had back-to-back winning records at

visiting stadiums for the first time since 1991 and 1992.

In fact, three of the top six road campaigns in team his-

tory (7-1 in 2009, 6-2 in both 2006 and 2010) have

come under Payton. His regular season road winning

percentage (25-15, .625) is tops in club history and the

NFL’s fourth-best over that period.

In 2009, en route to the Super Bowl XLIV title, Payton

guided the Saints to the team’s second NFC South title

with a 13-3 record. Along the way the Saints set a fran-

chise-record for most regular season wins (13). Their

16 overall victories were the

most in franchise history. The

Saints also posted the longest

winning streak in team history

when they won their first 13

contests. Payton was named

as the top head coach in the

NFL by numerous media out-

lets and recognized football

chapters.

Payton scrapped the traditional

timetable for rebuilding an NFL

club in 2006. In his opening

season, the Saints jumped out

to a 3-0 record, equaling the

team's win total from the previ-

ous year, and captured the

NFC South title. New Orleans

led the NFL in total offense,

went to the postseason for the

first time since 2000 and ad-

vanced to the NFC Championship for the first time.

When 2006 came to a close, Payton was voted the

Coach of the Year by the Associated Press and several

other media outlets.

Prior to his final season with the Cowboys, Payton was

promoted to assistant head coach/passing game co-

ordinator and was responsible for the team's play-call-

ing. For the previous two years, he had been assistant

head coach/quarterbacks coach.

Payton came to Dallas after four years with the New

York Giants (1999-2002), the last three as offensive

coordinator after spending his first season as quarter-

backs coach. Payton solidified his reputation as one of

the game's brightest offensive minds in 2000. In his

first season as coordinator, the Giants captured the

NFC title and went to Super Bowl XXXV.

Payton has had particular success tutoring quarter-

backs. Drew Brees has thrived since arriving in New

Orleans, as he holds or has tied a total of 19 club

records. Since 2000, every passer under Payton's

guidance has thrown for over 3,000 yards.

Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in communications

at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had

10,665 passing yards, then the third-highest total in

NCAA Division I-AA history. The three-time AP All-

American selection had professional stints with

Chicago of the AFL, Ottawa of the CFL and the

Chicago Bears in 1987. Payton was inducted into the

Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in September of 2000 and

had his jersey retired in a 2010 ceremony.

Born Dec. 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in

Naperville, Ill., Payton and his wife, Beth, have a

daughter, Meghan and a son, Connor.

Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints ● Sunday, September 18, 2011 Saints Postgame Notes • Sunday’s win was the 50th regular season victory for Saints coach Sean Payton. He joins Jim Mora

as the only coaches in franchise history to reach the 50-win mark. • QB Drew Brees won his 50th regular season game as well in a Saints uniform, which makes him the

winningest starting quarterback in team history. Brees was tied with Bobby Hebert at 49 wins. • Sunday’s crowd of 73,019 is the largest ever to see a Saints regular season game in the Superdome.

The Dome’s capacity was increased by approximately 3,000 this offseason with the re-configuring of the Plaza level. The last home crowd this large was in the Saints’ final season in old Tulane Stadium, when 74,289 watched the Saints play Miami on Nov. 10, 1974.

• The Saints set a franchise record by winning their fourth consecutive home opener (2008 vs. Tampa Bay, 2009 vs. Detroit, 2010 vs. Minnesota). The Saints won three consecutive home openers from 2001-03 and 1991-93. The Saints improved to 5-1 in home openers under Payton.

• This marked the third consecutive season the Saints played its home opener against an opponent from the NFC North.

• The Saints have scored 30 or more points in each of their first two games this season. It’s the third time in franchise history New Orleans has opened with back-to-back games of 30 or more, joining the 1993 and 2009 teams.

• Brees, who was 26 of 37 for 270 yards and three touchdowns, finished with a passer rating was 118.1 – the 37th time in his six seasons as a Saint he has had a passer rating of 100 or more. The Saints are 30-7 in those games.

• Brees’ three touchdown passes increased his career total to 241, passing fellow Purdue alumnus Len Dawson for 17th place all-time on the NFL list.

• Brees has thrown a touchdown pass in 29 consecutive games, the fourth-longest streak in NFL history. He broke a tie with Dave Krieg for fourth.

• WR Devery Henderson has started 2011 with back-to-back 100-yard games, his first such back-to-back performances since 2006. Henderson finished with three receptions for 103 yards and a TD. It was his ninth career 100-yard game, tied for fifth-most in Saints history with Wes Chandler and Donte’ Stallworth.

• The last Saint to have consecutive 100-yard receiving games was Marques Colston, who achieved the feat last season against Seattle and Dallas.

• Henderson’s performance moved him into sixth place on the club’s all-time list with 3,761 receiving yards, passing Quinn Early.

• Henderson caught a 79-yard touchdown pass from Brees in the second quarter, the Saints’ longest play from scrimmage since an 80-yard pass from Brees to Lance Moore last Sept. 26 vs. Atlanta.

• Henderson now has a TD reception of 75 yards or longer in three of the last four seasons. He caught a career-long 84-yard TD pass in 2008 vs. Tampa Bay and a 75-yard TD pass in 2009 vs. New England.

• Henderson’s touchdown catch was the 19th receiving TD of his career, moving him past teammate Robert Meachem into sole possession of 10th place in franchise history – temporarily. Meachem caught a third-quarter TD from Brees for his 19th career TD reception.

• K John Kasay kicked three field goals, giving him 438 for his career and moving him past Jason Elam for sixth place in NFL history.

• Kasay’s 53-yard field goal in the second quarter was the 41st field goal of 50 or more yards in his career, breaking a tie with former Saint Morten Andersen for second place all-time in NFL history. Jason Hanson (45 entering today) holds the NFL record for most field goals of 50 or more yards.

• Kasay has made at least one 50-yard field goal in 18 of his 20 NFL seasons. • The Saints defense had six sacks against the Bears, their most in a game since 2008. S Roman

Harper and DE Junior Galette led the way with 2.0 sacks apiece. • Harper’s sacks came on consecutive plays in the fourth quarter. Harper has 12.0 sacks since 2006,

passing Arizona’s Adrian Wilson for most among safeties in the NFL. • Galette, who did not have a sack in his rookie season in 2010, has 2.5 sacks in the first two games,

tied with Harper for the team lead. • LB Jonathan Casillas had a sack for the second consecutive week. • DT Aubrayo Franklin played in his 100th career game – 36 with Baltimore, 62 with San Francisco

and two with the Saints.

Chicago Bears vs. New Orleans Saints ● Sunday, September 18, 2011 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS COACH SEAN PAYTON “Obviously, it was an important win for us. I thought our energy and our effort overcame some of the early mistakes we made and I thought as that game wore on we started really gaining the momentum and getting the pressure defensively and converting the third downs we needed to offensively. I thought we had good balance and made the big plays when we needed to. It was an important win. There’s a lot we have to clean up and improve on, and we’ll look to do that heading into this week vs. Houston. I was proud of the way they played and encouraged with the end result. (on running the ball a lot) “The one free safety was in and out of the game, (Brandon) Meriweather. We saw probably more cover two early in that game. We tried to have a little bit of balance. Our feelings probably early on were maybe to throw it a little bit more and then begin to look for our opportunities to run it. I thought we converted enough third downs, I think we were right at 50 percent, to stay on the field. We had a couple of third-and-longs that were pretty important. I thought we blocked them pretty well up front. (on John Kasay) “He’s hitting the ball well, with a lot of confidence, and that’s good to see. I think the timing has gotten better with the left handed hold. That’s going to be important when we get into games that become closer than this one was. (on the three running backs) “Well, they are a little different. We try to get them involved, not just only in the nickel for Darren (Sproles), you see him come in the base some and you see those other guys in the nickel some. We have a lot of different packages. I think more than anything we just believe in that type of rotation and those roles and plays we have for them both in the run and the pass. I thought they did a good job, we had one turnover late with Mark’s (Ingram) fumble. I thought the rushing statistic, the third-down statistic, and the turnover statistic would be important, and they really proved to be in this game.” (on the long pass to Devery Henderson) “On Devery’s big play, the third-and-12, it’s a defense that almost always gets into a certain coverage look. We try to help out with protection. Drew (Brees) did a great job with the location. Devery (Henderson) got into the secondary with good release. It was against their nickel cover two. It’s one of those third and longs that kind of sits in your pocket as a call for if it comes up, and it came up early. Obviously, we prefer not to be in that situation, but one of the things we try to emphasize all week that third downs, especially third and long, that punting against this team is not a bad thing. They thrive on great field position for their offense. I thought we did a pretty good job today of making them start on their end of field and put together long drives if they were going to have any success. I thought the field position battle was important.”

CHICAGO BEARS COACH LOVIE SMITH (opening statement) “We knew coming in we were playing a good football team on the road and you know, we have a formula that we use to get a win and today we just didn’t follow through. Part of the formula is, of course, taking the ball away and we weren’t able to do that enough times and for them there were a couple of critical moments. The big third down touchdown pass that we gave them, got ourselves in a position that we want to be in, normally, third and long, where we can do what we like to do in that situation, didn’t make the play. We got ourselves back in position, 16-13 or 13-16 and that turnover really hurt us there. You can’t make those kinds of mistakes against a good football team. “Injury wise, we lost a couple guys. Losing Lance Louis last week and Gabe Carimi going down put us in the whole a little bit, but you know it gave other guys an opportunity. Major Wright went out with a head injury and Earl Bennett with a knee injury. We’re starting to get a few injuries, but we’re feeling good about the 53 man roster so other guys will get an opportunity, but today give them the credit. They played better than we did, made critical plays where we didn’t. Like last week we talked about all the things we did well. This was just a team loss. It only counts for one game. We’re one and one right now with another big one coming up this week. (on how Saints were able to get Bears out of sync offensively) “A lot of different ways. You know, they played better than we did, they got pressure on the quarterback. I mean, you can’t answer that in a couple of words. I mean they made plays in critical situations. Again, it was a 16-13 game so I can’t say that’s when it got a little out of hand for us.” (on Matt Forte and if his tremendous success is surprising) “It isn’t a surprise to me. He’s a good football player. Anything you ask a good running back to do, he can. Anything you ask a great running back to do, he can. Talk about catching the ball out of the backfield. That was a big weapon for us today. Whether it was on screen passes or check downs and running in the open field too. You can say that he did about what he needs to do for us to win a football game. (on number of sacks in the second half and their possible relation to missed assignments) “I can’t say missed assignments. Some of them were, but when you have that many sacks it’s a combination of some maybe assignments and some of them just winning. I give them a lot of the credit. Most of it was that.” (on whether Jay Cutler can sustain all of the contact/sacks throughout the season) “Well we hope he doesn’t have to throughout the season. Jay and the rest of our team didn’t play well today. There are a lot of things that happened that we can’t let continue throughout the season, but we won’t. We’ll go back to work. One and one, early in the season still. We’ll correct these things and get ready to play next week. (on Matt Forte having nine catches more than the next Bears receiver) “That tells me he played a lot better than everybody else. I’m not trying to run away from your question, but that’s pretty much what it is. Can’t give you any magical answers today. When Matt has more he played better than the rest of the guys did. We did not play well enough. That’s the simple answer to everything. I can’t tell you

why. We would have changed a lot of that out there if we had known the reason why. So we’ll go back. It’s not doomed for us right now. It’s one loss. We’ll get better. (on challenging the Darren Sproles touchdown) “We can’t challenge a scoring play. It’s all up top. They say it, they looked at it and it was good.” NEW ORLEANS SAINTS PLAYERS QB #9 DREW BREES “The crowd was crazy. It was loud. It was awesome. (on defense) “I guess it’s the 2011 model. Obviously, the defense came out and played extremely well. Obviously, the turnover in the third quarter which was a huge momentum giver. All in all today, it was one of those games where we fed off each other. (on TD pass to Henderson) “First of all, protection, because you’re holding it for a long time. You need time for Devery to gain ground and get through there. You try not to keep that ball in the air too long. There’s a lot of trust in that throw, and a lot of trust in Devery. (on Bears) “They’re a great football team. They have a formula for winning that’s worked for a long time. They thrive on getting turnovers and getting pressure on the quarterback. Today, we knew the formula for winning the game ourselves. “To get back on the winning track, you hate that feeling after the Seattle loss and last week. We know the formula to winning games, and we showed that today. (on Jimmy Graham) “Jimmy’s one of those young talented guys who’s getting better every day. He’s a big physical presence. I’m excited to watch him develop. He aims to please. He wants to be the best. When he does do it right, he’s pumped. (on Bears game plan) “Typically, when it’s two high safeties, cover two, that’s typically a more conservative approach, but our two big plays (pass to Henderson, pass to Graham) came against cover two. They had a game plan for us – they mixed some man with some zone pressure. “Both times we scored on third down plays. When the field compresses down in the red zone, it becomes harder to get yardage, and obviously tighter windows to throw into. It’s a mentality that every foot, every yard is so important because they’re harder to come by.” TE #80 JIMMY GRAHAM “Every game, Drew is getting more and more confident with me. (on passion for game) “Shockey taught me well. He played with passion, and that’s definitely how I play. He taught me well.”

“That’s just how I am – I’m a very vocal player. I kind of play with my heart on my sleeve. “We’ve been talking about it all week. To come in here and give this crowd – it was the loudest I’ve heard it since I’ve been playing – it was special. “I feel that Drew is so good at finding the open receiver. Even if you’re the fifth one (option), you still have an opportunity to get the ball. In the end, he just finds the open receiver.” WR #19 DEVERY HENDERSON (on TD reception) “The most important thing for me was making the catch. As far as yards after, you make the catch first. Sean did a good job of calling that play at the right time, with the defense, we took advantage of it. (more pressure with Colston out?) “As a whole, the wide receiver group, we take it upon ourselves to be positive and just do our thing. We don’t put any pressure on ourselves. Hopefully, Marques will get back and get right into it. “I just try to go out and get better every day, go out there and have fun. Honestly, I still have a lot to work on. I’m that type of guy. As long as I’m here, I’m just going to keep bettering myself. (on finally beating Bears) “Going up there all those years in a row and coming back with a loss, pretty much packing up the season. That’s just the NFL. There’s always games that leave a bitter taste in your mouth. This was the day to do that. (more on TD catch) “It’s just one of those plays that whoever’s in that position gets the play called. All of us can run and all of us can take advantage of it. (on Saints defense) “I made the comment on the sideline that I wouldn’t want to play against them today. They were real physical out there. I love to see that from our defense. It really energizes us.” LB #52 JONATHAN CASILLAS (on defense bouncing back this week) “We definitely did. We came out physical. We hadn’t beaten Chicago under this coaching regime and it was a good win.” (on importance of this game for the defense’s psyche) “It was very important especially after last week against Green Bay. We knew we were facing another tough NFC North opponent. It is just good to get out there and play well. This will game will give us some momentum heading into next week.” DE #93 JUNIOR GALETTE (on defensive play) “We turned the intensity up today. It was kind of disappointing last week. That wasn’t our standard of defensive play and not what Gregg (Williams) wants us to accomplish. We took that to heart this week and practiced real hard.

“I felt like we were more crisp today. We had the home field advantage. Their offense couldn’t hear anything. We had a lot of great pressure and was at the right place at the right time. We just went after it.” S #27 MALCOLM JENKINS (on today’s performance) “Our offense put up a lot of points. Today was the type of defensive effort that we like to have. We just came out and executed.” (on defensive intensity) “We are never going to stop. We keep going and going until the end of the game. That’s how we always play. They struggled with some of our blitzes, but that team is talented. They are going to be good. We just have to see how it all pans out.” DE #90 TURK McBRIDE (on getting pressure on Cutler) “Yes, to a point. He’s a veteran quarterback, so you know he can handle the situation. That’s when you just have to keep at it and wreak havoc. (on if he took last week personally) “Definitely, we know that we had to come out here today and showcase to everybody what we can do. We prepared well this week and went out and showcased it. We still have a long way to go.” CB #33 JABARI GREER (on today’s performance) “The way our safeties played and linebackers played was outstanding. It allowed us to put some pressure on them. It was one of those game where you just had pure joy and had a lot of fun. It was a physical game and we were able to get some turnovers and make some things happen.” CHICAGO BEARS PLAYERS RB #22 MATT FORTE “It was a lot of fun to return here and play again. The atmosphere out there was kind of like when we (Tulane) played against LSU. It was real loud, but the ‘Dome is always loud. But it was real fun to play in front of family and friends. “On a lot of the passes I caught, I wasn’t the primary receiver on most of them. But I did make the best of what was in front of me after catching the ball, and I was able to pick up some yards throughout the game. Most of the times when they (Saints) were blitzing, I wasn’t the primary receiver. But Jay found me a lot for dump-off passes and that resulted in a lot of opportunities for me.” QB #6 JAY CUTLER “It was a long day out there. I don’t know how many sacks I took, but I had to throw a lot of balls away before I wanted to.

“The Saints were the better team today. They rushed me hard and forced our offense to do things we didn’t want to. All we can do now is regroup and get ready for next week when we face another tough opponent in Green Bay.” DE #90 JULIUS PEPPERS “Hey, last week we won and this week we lost. Remember it’s very early in the regular season. We have to learn what went wrong today, study the film and get ready again for next week. “I’ve played in this building (Superdome) many times, and it’s always loud. But this place isn’t any different than other places on the road in the NFL. It’s always tough to play on the road. But give the Saints credit – they had a good game plan for us today and they deserved to win the game.” LB #54 BRIAN URLACHER “Don’t get me wrong, this was a real tough game to play today. But I went out there and gave it my all. “Playing against him (Brees) is always a tough thing. You have to be on your toes at all times because that’s a high powered offense we were playing against. We were on a real high last week after winning against Atlanta. We don’t have the same feeling now. We gave up a big touchdown play early and that never helps.”
