New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton
on the schedule for the upcoming week: "We'll bring them in. They'll lift weights. They'll run. We'll watch the tape with them. We really have two days now to make a lot of decisions. There were some good things tonight. I thought overall, though, penalties … penalties and the turnovers really hurt us. Penalties in the first half, we had 10. And the three fumbles … those were big plays that we just got to be better with the football. I thought a lot of guys gave good efforts. So it should be an interesting tape to watch."
On getting receiver Marques Colston some reps: "We have a hard time playing a guy that doesn't play at all. So, we did it with Pierre (Thomas) some a week ago. We did it with Patrick Robinson. I would have liked to have done it with Junior (Galette), we're going to wait. They don't get those snaps … it's just important to get those guys ready to go."
On putting pressure on the quarterback: "I thought our guys did a good job. We handled some short fields … there were a number of positives."
On the status of running back Travaris Cadet: "He did not make the trip. We ended up playing (Khiry) Robinson a bunch and you saw (Mark) Ingram and Pierre (Thomas) get enough snaps."
On the play and status of Jay Richardson: "He's competing in there. He's one of those guys we'll look closely at. He's had a good camp. I think regardless of whether he's a veteran or not, we're just trying to look closely at whether he can help us or not. I think he's done a lot of good things. He's someone who's right there."
On the status of receiver Nick Toon: "I think he's fine. They were just concerned … they did a quick scan and I think that came back positive. It was a chest (injury) because he had a little blood in his mouth. They just wanted to make sure it was clear."
On if Parys Haralson can play in the first regular season game: "Yeah, very realistic (that he'll play). Yeah. We didn't play him in this game. I think so (that he'll play in Week 1)."
On the status of defensive end Glenn Foster: "I think he's fine. It's his ankle, but I think he's alright."
