DETROIT LIONS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS FORD FIELD Sunday, October 4, 2020; 1:00 PM ET

POST-GAME QUOTES (VIA ZOOM)

LIONS HEAD COACH MATT PATRICIA POST-GAME QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM) Opening Statement: “It was obviously not the outcome we wanted. [We] obviously didn’t play well enough all the way across the board. [We] started fast, didn’t really do much there in the middle, and then tried to come back at the end, which was too late at that point. So, [we’ve] got a lot of work to do in front of us. I don’t think our fundamentals were very good today. That needs to improve. We’ve got to coach better and make sure that we are doing things to help our team win, both playing and coaching. Execution wasn’t good enough. Just give the Saints credit, they came out ready to go, stayed consistent, they didn’t panic when they got down early, and just were able to operate efficiently all the way across the board. So we’ve got a lot of work to do in front of us.”

On inability to stop the Saints offense on five consecutive long drives: “I mean I think they did a great job on those drives. It’s things certainly, exactly what we talk about all the time. Just the game was up and down, I didn’t really feel like there was control in the game at all from that standpoint. And those long drives, we may have gotten them off track and then they would get a play to get back on track, and a little bit of back and forth there. It’s never a surprise when you play Sean Payton and Drew Brees from that standpoint. I think Drew Brees does an unbelievable job of, you know he’s so efficient with the ball and he’s obviously very accurate. And very calm and poised, so it doesn’t surprise me at all. I mean I think [it was] different than maybe one of the games we had earlier in the year. I thought that the guys fought all the way through the game, and tried to settle down at the end, which I think they did. But it was just too late at that point. It was too many drives in between.”

On why people should believe in him as a coach despite losing the last 14 of 16 games: “I mean that’s a hard question. Obviously, we just lost to the Saints. Let’s just give them credit for this game. They played extremely well and I know we’ve got a lot of work to do. Certainly I think when I came to Detroit there was a lot of work to do, and that’s what we’re trying to do. But talking about this year right now, we’re talking about right now in these first four games and obviously today wasn’t good enough. I think after four games our team can really take a lot at itself and say ‘OK, hey how do we need to play the games? What have we got to do?’ We’ve got some work to do during the Bye week here, I think which will be good for us to really take a look at how we need to play going forward. And I think that’s probably the most important thing from that standpoint is what do we do going forward and how do we win?” On changing the pattern of the Lions losing double digit leads: “Yeah, I don’t really think it’s the same thing over though. I mean, if you want to break it down, Chicago obviously was the end of the game, where we didn’t do a good enough job. I think Green Bay, obviously, was the halftime swing and we never really recovered. And this game I thought that we obviously jumped out early, but it was so early in the game in the first quarter. I think after that, we didn’t play very well in the middle of the game, and I thought that we came back at the end of the game, and battled to try to give ourselves a chance to win and obviously we didn’t come through. So, I think from that standpoint, those are different. Last week’s game is different. The biggest thing for us, really, what we’ve got to do, is obviously consistency. That’s what we’ve got to do is we’ve got to be consistent.”

On if he has concerns about his job security heading into the Bye week: “Yeah, again, let’s just talk about the Saints game. I’m trying to get us to play better than what we did today. I come to work every day trying to do the best I can to help this team win. We’ve got great guys in that locker room and we’ve got to find a way to win.”

On if there was any concern today’s game would be cancelled amidst the COVID testing conversations last night: “No, we just got up ready to go. The League obviously has policies and procedures in place to make sure everybody is safe and we just go play.”

On his coach’s challenge in the second quarter and how losing that challenge impacted his decisions later in the game: “Yeah, I mean obviously the one view we saw, which was he kind of landed on top of the defender when the ball came out. So we thought we had a good chance at it and it just took a while, and then eventually we saw the other view. We figured it was obviously a game where we were trying to get as many possessions as we could, knowing how good they are, and that one didn’t work out. Doesn’t matter really in the game no matter what when you challenge early, it definitely affects what you do later in the game when things come up that you want to try and challenge. That’s part of the challenge process.”

On if he is frustrated with the team’s performance defensively given his background as a defensive coach: “I mean I think obviously, we all think that we can play better and coach better. So I mean from that standpoint, we know that we’ve got a lot of work to do. And that’s what we’ve got to do. We’ve got to go back and we’ve got a long season in front of us, but we’ve got to get going. We’ve got to get some of this stuff fixed that looks good at some points and not good at other points. That has to be more consistent than what it is and a lot of that has to do with fundamentals. So that’s really what we’ve got right now.”

On in-game offensive adjustments not working through four weeks: “Again, I think we’ve been able to start pretty fast here which has been great. And I think we will come back (and) what we will try to do is sustain that. Certainly, in a situation where we get up large numbers here early, for us we’ve got to stay on it. We’ve got to keep our foot on the gas all the way across the board, all three phases, all three.”

On the Saints running game performance today: “Definitely, I think their run game is something that they have been doing at a high level and certainly their defense has stopped the run at a high level. So we knew that was going to be a big challenge for us. I think from our aspect of it, we’ve got to just do a better job all the way across the board, coaches and players and making sure that we get the run game stopped. There’s going to be runs in the game, they’ve got two really great backs and they’ve got an offensive line that runs the ball well. And when those things happen in the game, we’ve got to answer it.”

On the decision to go in the fourth quarter while down eight: “The situation is you look at those from if you decide you’re going to go for two, and you can do that, or decide that before the first touchdown, then you can go for it and give yourself two chances to get it in for the two-point conversion.”

On the defensive juggling of personnel: “Yeah, we definitely have some players out there that we want to get out in certain situations. We are trying to get them out there and obviously just looking for the consistency and that aspect of it and trying to get guys to settle in and play consistent So, from that aspect of it, we still have some inconsistencies.”

LIONS QB MATTHEW STAFFORD POST-GAME QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM) On his outlook of the team coming off the loss today: “1-3. Not where we want to be after four games. Started the game well again and then just didn’t play well enough throughout the entirety of the game. Have to give credit to them, did a great job of controlling the game, running the ball. They did a nice job stopping the run against us. Just one too many mistakes from us.”

On his confidence in Head Coach Matt Patricia’s ability to lead the team: “Plenty of confidence (inaudible). We have to go out there and make the plays, when we have opportunities to make them.”

On if anything was going on with him today when missing some deep passes: “Nope, just missed them. I want a couple of those back. Obviously, had some long PIs (pass interferences) that helped us out too. They were in some bad positions on defense and made some decisions to not let us catch it and get some big plays through penalties as well. Definitely a couple I want back.”

On if the offense feels pressure to score on each drive with how opposing offenses are scoring a lot: “No I don’t think it’s any different this year than any other year for us. As a mentality every time we touch it we want to go get points. Obviously didn’t do that enough today.”

On if there is a reason for the lack of big plays so far this season: “No. I think probably just going back and looking at it, I think defenses are doing a nice job of trying to play us top down, but at the same time there’s chances. I have to do a better job of getting those guys better balls and better opportunities.”

On his visible frustration on the sidelines today: “Every time we get it, I want to go score. We weren’t able to do that as many times as we needed to today. It’s an emotional game, a passionate game. I’m trying to make sure I’m out there doing my best every single time. And there’s times, probably if you see frustration, it’s probably for myself. Just wish I could’ve been better today to help us win.”

On his interception today: “Yeah, I wish I just would have thrown it a couple of yards further. TJ (Hockenson) did a nice job of scrambling and I just underthrew it.”

On looking forward to the Bye week in Week 5: “I think we just have a lot of work to do. A lot of things to look at and see how we can be better as a team. I think for me personally, it’s going to start just looking in the mirror and how can I help us be more successful, how can I help us win more. I’ll take the week obviously very seriously and try and figure out how I can help us win.”

On if he was concerned about the false positive test with the Saints this morning: “No I didn’t think so. I think we have to trust what the League is doing and they’re doing as good as a job as they possibly can. They say it’s safe to go out there any play, we’re going to go out there and do it.”

On if the Saints’ defense was throwing off his rhythm today: “No, I don’t think they were doing anything particular defensively than they normally would. Just missed some chances and wish I had them back, I guess.”

On if he feels the same level of preparedness this season compared to other seasons: “Yeah, for sure. I feel like myself. Obviously, we haven’t hit some of the bigger plays down the field that we did last year but by no means am I feeling any different than I was. I just have to go out there and hit them. We have to make them as a team and help us put points on the board.”

LIONS T TAYLOR DECKER POST-GAME QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM) On the frustration of not holding onto leads: “It’s very frustrating. We start fast, we show that we can get up on teams and score points on teams and stop teams. But at the end of the day, it’s a 60-minute game. So, I mean, yeah, it is frustrating. There’s no other way to say it.”

On his thoughts on how Head Coach Matt Patricia leads the team: “We all believe in the plan that’s put in place for us. We’re professional athletes. We’re expected to come here and perform and follow the lead of the things that the coaches have us do. So, we believe in what’s being taught here. If we didn’t, frankly, we wouldn’t be here.”

On why he has confidence in Head Coach Matt Patricia: “We’ve seen flashes of how good we can be. You see flashes of it; you see spurts here and there of what we can do when we execute. We know we have all the pieces to execute what we need in this locker room and on this team. But at the end of the day, it’s a full group effort. Everybody has to do their job. We’ve seen flashes of it. We just need to see it more consistently.”

LIONS LB REGGIE RAGLAND POST-GAME QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM) On the frustration of a lost lead reoccurring: “It’s frustrating because we have the pieces to be successful in this league, and we just have to go out there and finish. There’s no excuses. There’s nothing else to be said. We have to go out and play ball.”

On Saints RB Alvin Kamara and the difficulty of defending New Orleans’ offense: “Alvin is one of the best players in this league, and I’ve known Alvin since high school – that’s my little brother. I know he’s a problem. Then you have one of the best at throwing the ball. They’re not going to stop fighting. They have a great head coach. So, we have to get pressure. We have to get pressure on them – sometimes we had pressure on them, but he got it out on time, just like at the end. Had we had a little strength – I came free – he got it out right before I got to him. Playmakers (are) going to make plays in situations when it’s needed, and that’s what they did every time they needed a play. They gave the ball to Alvin and they put the ball in (Drew) Brees’ hands.”

On re-grouping during the Bye week: “I think it’s good because all the stuff we messed up on, we can go back, clean it up and really detail the fundamentals of the things. We can just go play ball, man. Good thing it’s still early in the season. So, I know a lot of people are doubting us – man, forget that. It’s still early in the season. We still can make a push of this thing, but we have to make up our mind and go do it because rightfully, we should be 4-0 right now. But we didn’t finish. So, all the great teams in this league finish in difficult situations. That’s what we have to do in situations. It’s the NFL, like I said, it’s a grown- man’s league. We have to finish in these tough situations. Like I said, we got the pieces, we got the coach, we just have to go play, man.”

SAINTS HEAD COACH SEAN PAYTON POST-GAME QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM) On if he was able to sleep last night due to the false positive COVID-19 test: “Yeah listen, it is what it is. I’m proud of how we got ready to play despite some of the challenges. There were seven, eight, 10 of us up past 1 a.m. in the morning and that’s just the way it is. Took them a while to get the point of care tests here.”

On when the team received the point of care test results: “3 a.m.”

On when the team knew they were playing a game today: “This testing was done by 12:55 a.m., and then we got the results back before 3 a.m. Look, we were playing a game and getting ready to play a game. That’s just part of the deal this year.”

On if the team’s schedule was changed this morning: “No. Look, it came back with a false positive. The concern that we had with the tracer system is that it only showed three [close contacts] and we knew it was way more than three, just based on where he was sitting on the airplane. So we went ahead ourselves – and point of care tested four or five more players that weren’t on the tracing system. I think the tracing system has had some inaccuracies to say the least, but I think we were smart enough to realize who else might have been exposed and went ahead and had those guys tested.”

On how the team prevented getting stuck in a hole being down 14-0 early by scoring on a long drive: “Yeah I think it did. I think we were able to regain time of possession, and I think that helped. We have to be better defensively on the first drive. It’s happened too much this year. Our red-zone defense is still something that needs work. I was proud overall of how the team played considering some of the challenges that they had with some new players in the lineup. So overall, it was a good team win.”

On WR Tre’Quan Smith being a reliable target in the absence of WR Michael Thomas: “I would agree with you. I thought he was outstanding today. He made some contested plays in real big situations. A third down that he catches in that last drive, that was significant.”

On time of possession being a main focus for the team today: “We wanted a couple things. We had to play this game a little differently relative to where we were at defensively. We were going to be aggressive on their side of the 50-(yard line), fourth down – so we were playing a four down game, if you will. We went for it once; we were going to go for it if we needed to more than just once. I thought we had a good rhythm, I thought Drew (Brees) was outstanding. Thought we had them guessing for most of the first half of the game. I thought our guys up front did a really good job at the line of scrimmage, I mean I don’t know what the rushing numbers were, but overall though we did a lot of things well that will allow you to win a game.”

On CB Patrick Robinson’s play in the end zone: “Tremendous, you know. It’s tremendous. I don’t know what happened on the series after, that but that’s a seven-point play, really. I’m proud of him, I’m proud of PJ (Williams), those guys not getting a lot of work and then all the sudden being put in the lineup. They did well.”

On cleaning up penalties: “Yeah look – we just have to keep working on it, keep battling. It is a point of emphasis, so we are really making it a vocal point, and yet sometimes you just have to battle through some calls.”

On how valuable it is for a team to experience adversity and prevail like they have recently: “Look – on the road, it’s just one of those games where you’re proud of your team. It’s this game – it’ll test you from an adversity-standpoint. I think this year is going to be that way for a lot of us. New England’s going to have to travel tomorrow to play a game tomorrow night, and quite honestly, no one really cares. I mean that in a good way. There are far more other things that are important that we’re suffering from than to hear about how we were up until 1 a.m. – that’s just the way it is this season. So we have to understand that, and then just be ready to still get ready to play our best game. I thought that was important today and our guys did that.”

On if things tightened up on offense to the point where the anticipation and that is where it’s supposed to be, and the team isn’t having those mental errors with the receivers and QB Drew Brees trying to hit them and they aren’t where they’re supposed to be: “Yeah look, I hear what you’re saying. I don’t necessarily agree with all of it. We convert third downs today. Our time of possession was better. We’ll just keep working on the execution.”

On if there was an emphasis on throwing the ball downfield: “It’s a man-to-man team by nature. So they do a real good job of playing that coverage, playing outside technique, funneling routes back in to the interior of the defense. They’ll play some Cover 2, they’ll change it up on you, and we had some big plays in the man coverage. Guys got open. Drew (Brees) made some really good throws. We knew we were going to have to to complement the run game.”

On running the ball 42 times: “I want to say this: I thought the guys up front were outstanding. We had a couple injuries. We moved (Nick) Easton over to left guard, and he played extremely well – the tape is going to show it. Cesar Ruiz got his first start. We had to make some adjustments there when we lost Ryan (Ramczyk) and the backs – we just did a lot of things well. It kind of goes hand-in-hand. I thought the third downs we didn’t convert were the longer distance or less manageable ones, but the ones we did, we put ourselves in a good position. Then the one time we went for it on fourth down and hit Alvin (Kamara), I think, on a big play.”

SAINTS QB DREW BREES POST-GAME QUOTE SHEET (VIA ZOOM) On the magnitude of this win considering injury adversity and COVID scares: “Yeah, I mean there was a lot going on. Obviously, coming off of two losses as well where we didn’t play our best football, we knew that we could play a lot better, we could execute a lot better. Coming up here, we lose some starters this week in practice, and then we had the whole COVID ordeal last night, or a false positive that unfortunately kept a lot of people up late and all of that stuff. But man, I think it just says a lot about this team, about all of the guys that stepped up and filled that voids, filled those roles. And everybody just persevered and found a way to get a big win today.”

On WR Emmanuel Sanders and WR Tre’Quan Smith filling the void of the WR Michael Thomas and TE Jared Cook injuries: “Yeah, listen, both of those guys played outstanding, and really, the entire cast. It takes everybody. I think, we knew that the last two weeks we have not had the level of execution, we haven’t had the tempo and the rhythm that we know that we can have. I felt like we had a good plan coming into this game. We got some different stuff from the Lions defense than we thought, but we were able to adjust. Guys played great. We ran the ball extremely well. The O-line did a great job. Latavius Murray ran his tail off. And I felt like we were just kind of staying with (inaudible) defense and then we came up with some big plays in the passing game when we got the right matchups. All the way around it was just great execution. I thought the guys did a great job.”

On the last third down connection to WR Tre’Quan Smith during the final drive: “I didn’t see much. I was getting hit. I was on my back, but I felt like there was a place that I could get the ball up and over the defender. They dropped a safety down to kind of rob the middle of the field, and I felt Tre’Quan (Smith) get past his guy and get over the top of that guy. And obviously that was a huge play. It sustained the drive and gave us another set of downs, and then we were able to close it out with the next first down, but that’s a huge play in the game. If you don’t make that play, then you’re punting the ball to them and they’ve got a lot of time left.”

On if this was the closest to where they want to be offensively through the first four games so far this season: “Yeah, listen. I feel like it was good tempo, I felt like it was very balanced. I felt like we ran the ball very well, threw the ball well. We were great on third downs, 10 of 14, scored touchdowns in the red zone. I hate that we had two drives in the fourth quarter that put our defense back on the field too quickly. I felt like we had an opportunity to get some points there with our drive that extended into the fourth quarter, and we ended up punting them down and pinning them down at the two-yard line. But we really should have gotten points there. And then we had I think just a 3-and-out that next drive. And then besides the tipped interception, which is just bad luck, in the first play of the game, the first drive. Other than that I felt like, listen, it’s hard to put together five consecutive scoring drives. We were able to do that today and it was great execution all the way around. You name it, we had big plays in the passing game, we ran the ball well, we had a screen or two. All in all, I think everybody just did their job, played really well.”

On getting back on track following the early interception: “I think it says a lot about our team. They go down the field, they get a touchdown on their first series. Then, unfortunately we get the tipped ball on the first play, so they get the ball right back. So we’re down 14-0 and it hadn’t even been five minutes expired on the clock. So, I think for us, to remain very calm and poised, and then again offensively put together five consecutive drives with touchdowns, 35 points and the defense to play as well as they did. Going into that fourth quarter, it’s now 35-14, and we knew we were going to have to close this team out. They’re a finish-strong type team. They’ve got a great quarterback on the other side who is used to putting together those types of drives. So we knew we had to close it out.”

On what it means to him to personally get back into his groove: “We’ve set the bar high, high expectations. There’s a reason that we have won more games over the last three years than any other team. It’s because we practice, we prepare, we have a great process in how we prepare for games and how we plan to execute and the level of expectation. And the speed at which we play, the variation with which we can win football games. So, this is obviously the closest to where I know we can be, thus far this season. We still have a lot of work to do, but I am excited to get back to work.”

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Conference Call with New Orleans Media Monday, October 5, 2020

After the first quarter of the season, what are you most pleased with and on the flip side what is something you think needs to improve? “Well, let me start with the second one. First, I think situationally, I'd like to see us both offensively and defensively playing better football relative to third down and red zone. Our numbers yesterday, on third down weren't bad, but I think situationally, we have to get better at red zone defense. That has to be fixed or (we’ll) continue to struggle. I think the consistency in our pass protection, I thought we ran the ball pretty well yesterday, but situational football (needs to improve). And then to the first part of the question, I think we've handled some of the early, early adversity pretty well. Yesterday was a good win for us. We'll leave it at that.”

When you look at the stretch yesterday of scoring touchdowns on five consecutive drives and not giving up a score in four straight drives in the same period, does it show the team’s capabilities if they are consistent? “You point to stretches of good play. And, look, here's the thing early on we got them to a third and 10. We got them to a third and nine. We got them into those favorable third down situations and for whatever reason, couldn't get off the field and then offensively, look, the first play of the game is a tip pass interception. We just didn't start as fast as we'd hoped. But, but the response was good. Definitely, we would point to a stretch like that and examine it.”

Yesterday, Tre’Quan Smith told us he was that main read on that big third down catch on your final drive. How confident are you in him right now. It looks like he’s starting to find his groove? “Yeah, one thing about Tre’Quan, he is the primary. The play was called with him on a spear. There's a secondary in that route, Emmanuel (Sanders) is coming in on a deep in and Taysom’s underneath on a shallow cross. There's a few options, Drew's (Brees) confident in the play. But I would say this guy's impressive relative to traffic and noise. He’s sturdy. He's tough. And I think that's a great asset as a receiver.”

Is that something you kind of discern from him over the past couple years? “I think you'd like to think you know, when you're drafting and selecting and signing, and yet you really never know, until they come here. But there's a there's a toughness to his play. He blocks extremely well. I think he's doing well.”

What you said to the team before the team about handling the COVID situation, injuries, is that a conscious effort on your part to not allow a team to make excuses and feel down on itself? “I think you have to, at some point, address it that way. An old coach (Bill Parcells) used to tell me and please (don’t) take this the wrong way. Or take this the right way. But they never really asked about the labor pain, they just want to see the baby. And I think we're (like that) to some degree, especially this season in the entertainment business, and I don't think there's an ear for ‘well, you had to stay up later than normal.’ That's going to be the case this season. And people aren't interested in your injury depth. They're not interested. Certainly, those play a part in games. But at the end, they want to see you play well and win and the more we can fine tune ourselves, myself included, fine tune ourselves in our in our preparation for winning that week each week, regardless of what built-in excuse you might have because human nature will allow you to build in these things. And (then it becomes for example), it's the player that's got kind of a sore hamstring that decides he's going to play in the game. Well. If he doesn't do well, that hamstring is going to be the reason and we can do that as coaches. We can do that as organizations if we're not careful. It's human nature. So trying to fight against that or address that, I think does need to be something you think about.”

Do you think some teams are build better to deal with some of these things than others are? Absolutely and experience is not necessarily a perquisite, but I would say some teams are built better for it than others The experience might be a negative one, might be a bad one, might be a team with veteran players (that might look at it negatively). It’s not discriminate on age or years in the league.”

Is it something you talk to your staff about or even the team leaders? “Absolutely. This is what we have. The players deserve a chance to win.”

Last year with the whole draft process how deep a dive did you do with Justin Herbert and what did you think of him? “I remember him very well. I remember the interview process. I remember the combine the evaluation, the tape all of it. He was an impressive prospect, extremely smart with the live arm. I know for from our standpoint, but we felt like we had a great exposure based on all the postseason opportunities we had to look at (him). So I do remember him and it's good to see that he's doing well.”

Do you like the way the schedule has been so far, not being a consistent preparation for 12 p.m. Sunday games yet until this week? Do you like it that way? “Either one, if you’re just being consistent at 12 noon, it probably means you lost a lot of games last year, so I guess I like the fact that we’re all over a place.”

Is the concern about facing a young quarterback like Justin Herbert that you don’t have a big file of film on him or can you lean a lot on what they did in college? “I think it's not the file so much as the team, the scheme and how he's fitting immediately into it. I think you have to look at what the strengths (are), what he did well in college, was he a guy that turned it over, was he a guy that protected the ball. But I think you're going to study more closely the system. Obviously, it'll be a little bit uniquely different than when Tyrod’s (Taylor) in there and you cover all those things. But you really have to defend what you're seeing on tape.”

The fourth down decision and play where you went for it and hit Alvin Kamara down the sideline? Was that a play you had ready for that specific down situation, that you guys meet about the night before a game? “Yeah, it was one of those (where) you're hoping to get man to man. And the feeling is if you can put a lot of other big people on the field, maybe a tight end, a fullback, maybe then the guy left to cover Alvin is obviously not a corner, maybe he's a bigger player that that we like to match up on. So it was a short yardage third down, fourth down call. We talked before the game about being very aggressive in this approach this week, just based on everything, based on the depth at corner, based on a lot of factors that anything that crossed the 50, fourth down, plan on us being in four down territory, just talking to the offense that this was going to be an approach that we took (that) may be very different than some weeks and so it's much different if you're calling an offense with the idea that you're going to use fourth down as a play. Now you can pretty much indiscriminately on second or third down run or pass and it just changes…Now you have to be confident that you're going to be able to convert, but it was a perfect look coverage wise Alvin did a great job with the release and obviously it was well-thrown and well-executed.”

Would you have gone for it there if it was a longer 4th down? “Yes. It would have been a cut off (decision) Jeff (Duncan), honestly. Where do the percentages drop? I mean, probably south of five, north of five, somewhere in there. And then, at that stage of the game, you've got your full litany of plays. And a lot of it depends on if you feel like you have something. But, we were going to take an approach though, very aggressively that way in those decisions.”

Have you been dialing up any more for Alvin Kamara because you see him back in the zone he's been in, or maybe even a play like that? Does that increase your confidence in a play like, or is it like you expected? “Certainly on third down, when you get into that meeting, it always starts with, who are the guys that separate and have strong hands? Emmanuel (Sanders), Tre’ (Tre’Quan Smith), whoever, the tight end, (is), you kind of discuss (how) each play has got a target primary, doesn't mean it goes to him. But yeah, Alvin’s (Kamara) one of those, one of those guys that is going to probably draw coverage from someone other than a linebacker. There's a couple teams that will play him with a linebacker, but he is probably going to draw that dime or that DB, that hybrid. So how do we take advantage of a matchup? How do we formationally, maybe? Again, back to what I was saying to Jeff earlier. If we throw a bunch of big bodies on the field and can get the defense to be in their base, now it’s hard for a hybrid to end up on him, in man. We can get the corners over to one side, with the receivers and then maybe, find a way. We are always looking for a way maybe to get him on someone they're uncomfortable with. But formationally that can be challenging sometimes.”

And then on the flip side, it does not look like his touches or snaps have really gone up, just his production this year. Are you guys really conscious about keeping him, you know, keeping that snap count where you always like it, so he doesn't wear down as the season goes on? “There’s a great medium there or a great goal, obviously there. Latavius (Murray) is playing well, he had a good game yesterday. The two of them complement each other. Here is one of the great things I can say about Alvin. He is very unselfish relative to if he scores, or if someone else scores, you are going to see that big smile. He is going to be running over there. And that is something that in today's football is refreshing. And certainly as a coach, is appreciated.”

New Orleans Saints Running Back Latavius Murray Video Call with New Orleans Media Monday, October 5, 2020

How much do you and Alvin (Kamara) sort of feed off of each other, especially when you're kind of rolling like you were yesterday? “I think a lot. I think, obviously, you know, being the two backs in the running back room, we want to, we take responsibility to allow the offense you know, possibly to, you know, jumpstart through us or to, you know, make a play to get us going. So, I think we both know how important that is. And so we definitely feed off each other’s energy, feed off each other, playmaking and constantly communicating, off the sideline and on and off the field. So it’s helped a lot definitely, us two communicating and just trying to compete. They're trying to compete, he's trying to make plays, I’m trying to make plays. I think that's what it's all about.”

When you look back on yesterday’s game today and look at the film, what do you think contributed to the success that both you and Alvin were able to have in the running game? “I really felt the vision was there and I felt we were real patient knowing how their front plays and their backers play. They’re not a real downhill, penetration defense, so we knew we just had to be a little more patient with the holes and to hit it. That helped a lot. We knew that going into it and I think we stuck with that.”

How much does it open things up when Drew Brees connects downfield like he was yesterday? How much does that open things up for you and Alvin Kamara? “It opens things up a lot. Obviously when we throw the ball down the field, we are able to keep defenses on their toes. If we run the ball efficiently, the sky’s the limit for what we can do.”

Drew said yesterday’s offensive performance was the closed to what you guys expect to do? Is that your feeling as well? “Yes, I think that was a good showing and now it’s about being consistent, putting a series of those game back to back to back. Saying we were happy with the outcome, winning first, we did some good things on both sides of the ball in all phases of the game. I think coming off the field we knew we could be better and we have to be better for where we want to go. It was a good time to get a win. That’s why you play the game. It’s definitely something to build off of in all three phases. I know offensively it felt good to put that many points on the board and move the ball down the field like we were.”

When you were watching the film yesterday after the game, was it noticeable how the offensive line was playing? “They were moving guys, they were putting hats on guys. Their defensive front is a little different. They were moving guys. They were giving us opportunities. I’ve always been taught when you can get the running back to the line of scrimmage clean or to the linebackers, they’ve done their job and the rest is up to you. We had a lot of those opportunities yesterday.”

With the whole false positive issue, did you miss out on a bunch of sleep? “I went right back to sleep (after getting re-tested) thankfully. When I heard the banging (on hotel room door to re-test), I definitely thought something was wrong. Beau (Lowery) had a sad look on his face, but we got the testing out of the way hoping for the best, hoping I wouldn’t hear back and I didn’t. Fortunately the game was still on and we went out there and did what we had to do. This season was a little different and will be a little different moving forward and I think the teams that embrace that, understand that, I think they’ll be just fine. I think we handled it well.”

How much sleep do you typically receive before a noon central game and how much sleep did you get Saturday night? “I was in bed by 10. I’m an early bird and just like we talked about (with young kids), I try to get in bed early, but I’m up early, so I think I was out by 10 and heard the banging on my door at 12:40, close to 1. Beau said he called but I was deep (sleep). Luckily I feel right back asleep and woke up around 7, 7:30, 8, something like that. It didn’t really affect me. I know some of those guys couldn’t get back to sleep. I was fortunate for that.”

You guys touched on wanting to find more consistency. The next phase with that is development in the season is getting more consistent. What are you looking to improve on this week? “Again, just improving. There are things we can clean up from yesterday. There’s still learning, growing, correcting those mistakes and then building off of the success we had. That’s how you put some runs together and that’s what we want to do. We go in there to win every time. Hopefully we just stack some wins as we head into this next quarter of the season or at least end up 3-2 before this bye week. The next one is important. That’s what we want to do. Build off the win, the things we did well and make corrections.”

Do you think there will be anything normal this season, going back to Saturday night and the fact the Patriots are headed to the airport now to fly to Kansas City? “You can be surprised, but just as quick as you are surprised you have to embrace it. That’s what everybody signed up for this year. We wanted to have a season, we just wanted to go about it the right way, safely and be able to play and make sure we are doing all the things to be safe. There’s no complaining. We still have a job to go out there and play. We’ll handle the different scenarios with the testing and protocols, knowing that all those things hopefully keep each other safe. At the end of the day it’s just about winning and we’re trying to focus on that.”

You guys had time of possession of about 36 minutes yesterday. How important is it go to on those long extended drives like that? “When we can go down the field like that and keep the ball out a pretty good quarterback’s hands, that’s important and then if we can throw in the time of possession, we’re marching the ball down the field most likely. I think all those things are positives and things to build on. When we do have the ball, marching down the field, making sure we finish with points, touchdowns preferably, taking care of the ball. The time of possession if we’re using it the right way is a big positive and so I think that’s another thing we’d like to build on moving forward.”

New Orleans Saints Defensive Back C.J. Gardner-Johnson Video Call with New Orleans Media Monday, October 5, 2020

Were you expecting the Lions to go after your outside corners early in the game yesterday, is that what you were anticipating? “They are trying to go after everybody in reality, so we all have to stay prepared. In reality we all get paid for this job, we all get paid to go out there and compete and go up against the best receivers, so we’re just going to go out there, be focused and try to get the win.”

What was the mindset early being down 14-0, how you are responding and adjusting to that? “You have to keep playing, that whole quarter. It was a quick turnaround. We had to make adjustments on defense, but other than that, we’ve been down before. We have to keep fighting like we always do. Yesterday showed a lot. We could have easily given up, but the whole team came together, offensively they did things running the ball, Drew (Brees) did things, receivers stepped up big, the defense. We’re still coming together to try to get everything right and win every game possible.”

What stood up watching film, that you guys can build on moving forward in the season? “The team’s building an energy. You can take the schemes, we played with no energy the last couple weeks, you could tell. Going out there with a little mojo, with a chip on our shoulder and a couple of losses, we came out to fight. It’s a kids game, grown men get to play it. You need to go out there and have fun, do your job, handle your responsibility and you can’t let your teammates down.”

Another question is that you guys were able to cut down on the penalties significantly, what do you think contributed to that? “I don’t know. We can’t control that (uptick in penalties throughout league). We have to control what we control and play football. We can’t worry about penalties to be honest with you.”

What were some of the things you guys had to concentrate on to stop the Lions? “Run game. Contain AP (Adrian Peterson), shut down the explosive plays from (Kenny) Golladay and Marvin Jones, making sure they don’t get behind the defense. The more you keep it in front of you, you don’t have anywhere to go. We were basically trying to keep them in front of us, keep them corralled and go out there and play a good game. If one of them go out, it opens up a whole bunch of stuff. We just have to make sure we kept them in front of us and did our job.”

How different was it with Patrick Robinson and P.J. Williams as starting as opposed to Janoris Jenkins and Malcolm Jenkins? “It doesn’t feel different. We all practice together. I could see if they were just coming in. Some of them have been together for three or four years. Anybody can step in and make a play at anytime, so it doesn’t matter who it is. You just have to go out there when it’s your time and do your job.”

Talking about Patrick, the interception was big for you guys. Did you guys feed off that a little bit? “Definitely. We had a pick six, a real game-changing pick six, the first week of the season with Jack (Janoris Jackrabbit Jenkins). Just seeing him (Robinson) get a pick and see some action. Maybe we have to depend on certain people. Our backups are as good as our starters. Our coach always tells us prepare as if you’re a starter. It doesn’t matter if you’re a backup or starter. You have to play like a starter 24-7 and go out and dominate. That’s all it is, when you have guys keeping sharpening the axe, going out and competing and doing their job with what they can control and they can do. The sky’s the limit for them.”

How much were you affected the false positive issue and having to be awakened like some of the guys on offense? “You can control what you can control. You have to control it at all costs and protect your teammates, because as coach Sean (Payton) says we have a good team and can’t have everyone not being on board with this Covid thing because it can be anybody. It could be a coach, a player, a trainer, staff, you have to be on board, keep your hands clean, cover your faces and do what you have to do.”
