Postgame – New Orleans

LB Jerome Baker

(I’m just curious as you woke up this morning and you were kind of getting ready for the game and preparing yourself, were you aware of how Sunday’s games kind of shook out and how you guys essentially in a win and you’re in situation? Right now if you guys win your final two games you’ll be in the playoffs. Were you aware of how all that came to be this weekend?) – “No, not really. I just knew we’ve got to come out here and win a game so I didn’t really – I’m not going to say I didn’t care, but I wasn’t looking forward to or looking out for it.”

(Well now that you’re – after a 1-7 start, seven straight wins – just knowing that you are in that situation now and you just have to kind of take care of what’s in front of you, I guess what’s the mindset of the team? How do you personally feel about that?) – “Just keep it going. What we’ve been doing, it’s been working. Just taking it one day at a time, one game at a time. It’s been working for us so why change it. I think that’s our approach right now, is just keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

(You had 8 sacks, you gave up 164 yards and 0-for-12 on third down. When you look at some of those numbers how do you assess this defensive performance? Could you ask for much more than that?) – “I’m sure ‘Flo’ (Brian Flores) will have some corrections. That’s one thing I’m pretty sure he’ll have. Josh (Boyer) is the same. That’s just the approach of our team, is just we just want to get better and better and better, and we know we can accomplish some great things so at the end of the day we’re just going to take that approach and just keep getting better. We could’ve played better. We’re going to enjoy this one and worry about next week.”

(You guys are the first team in NFL history to have seven straight losses and seven straight wins in the same season. What does that say about the character of this group?) – “It says a lot. That we believe in our coaching staff, we believe in each other, and anything is possible. We’ve just got to take it one day at a time. It’s been working for us so I’m going to keep saying that and we’ve just got to continue just doing what we’ve been doing and keep getting it done.”
