Jimmy Johnson on the saints after their defeat (1 Viewer)

Saints aren't dead

I still believe in the Saints, even though they lost in Pittsburgh. I think they have some star players and I believe they are well coached. They have some emotion going for them. When you have star players, the role players rally around them.

New Orleans is a good team. There is no question that the enthusiasm of being back in that city has probably carried them farther than where they should be. But that doesn't mean the Saints won't be a factor until the end of the season. You have to realize that two of their losses were very close. Carolina barely beat them and they had the lead on Pittsburgh until Reggie Bush fumbled. I still think they are a good football team.

I didn't know Sean Payton before this year. But I have been impressed with him and how he's handled being a head coach in the NFL as much as anybody as I've seen in a long time. He's calm, he's demanding and he has his team disciplined. He has enthusiasm on the sidelines and I'm sure he's that way with his team during the week at practice. I really like what I seen from him and his team.

The bad luck started when Terry Bradshaw went up in the booth with Joe Suck and Troy Aikman....
