Richard Seymour, Patriots DE

Joining us set our Patriots Monday studios. And then nice healthy bowl of fruit and bottle water. Is Richard Seymour hello Richard how our group leader.

That's -- we do Richard and after a loss like this does come on or just repeat. After all we as rip everybody. We were we were we were targeting the secondary. But you know that -- the larger question is third down defense and red zone defense and -- on the field. And a -- But the prop Oscar -- say -- him maybe you maybe should be on the field on third out. -- I I don't really didn't play and don't coach but okay but you're -- this team and you see. What happens in the red zone and at times in the -- in the red -- Red zone the third down defense is it surprising to you that that this team that's had some success since you've been here. Is so weak in this area and those in and and those two areas.

Well obviously you definitely. If you want to be successful in this league you have to stop people. In the red zone you know that's where you know if you can if you -- squander -- don't need to stop grass court in the red zone but think. You know. No matter work they do throughout the driver of the score and you know first down considerably. You know discouraged and we -- in the red zone and music. Scored touchdowns a field goals and you know I'll jobs -- school board and -- problems. Maybe last in the league in the red zone so. -- probably. You know why you hadn't seen this you know probably put some wins together back to back you know who could stop -- you know when they were driving down and then. You know at their last night. It was just you know -- the first half was pretty decent. But then the second half things just kind of unraveled with turnovers and you know get the ball on the short field and in that create enough for all -- and having them. -- a -- long haul you know each and every time -- good defense I think you know you can access to much. Of the three really bad losses. The Miami game the Chargers game in this -- how does this one rank in those theory. In your mind. Felt like we have a shot you know would you skip you know yourself in the foot you know we -- You know consider turnovers -- you know critical in a game in a game where. You know you'd you'd need to play good golf is that the game -- to create short field position I mean it's just. We give Pittsburgh a lot of credit they capitalize. On them make those no excuses about it because would not but it. You can't please you can't win football games for equity and for the first have we. You know we're we're very wasn't reception and then you know playing some you know pretty good be fair for me it would it would be great you know but. You know still would have to go football team in the and noticed a spot up put the start of the third quarter -- Wrigley where we can -- and you know. As for the total total was concerned him and you know. Then a discount ran the ball movement around the clock you know. That would give weaving your office so -- to. -- I know coaches coach.

Players play in -- this Armando homeowners Allman and and GM's managed. Report is right Eric I'll report right -- all it talks -- Talking Heads talking complain. But. Do you ever. Lobby you'd have become obvious. Coaches today. I know like that are. Here.

Plummet I'm on the -- that I wasn't out there yeah -- just the start game model third down and you know I mean I think third down as the most critical football Buick open in time you get off the field stop sore. In only keep it going you know also -- wouldn't be room for third down. And ministers of all the -- that's what I would do. -- and then you know mix who got could be in -- you know maybe there was why would you why -- this week I don't know. Heavyweight week. Were you told before the game in England while you out to -- on third down and you know win some and I agree with. You know. It is what it is like a -- respective by the for the decisions. It doesn't mean I agree with hello and it's distorted Islam him you know -- be canceled its you know two -- fight would it has you know. -- issues.

You're -- defensive player so when -- email -- ask this question asked if I would ask you guys this question earlier. He didn't make a lot of sense to make -- you're not out against Pittsburgh the -- But when a player takes a cheap shot at one of your players the way I saw Wes Welker got leveled over the middle. Is there ever any thought. On the sidelines and hate somebody take a number that guy did anybody see who that was you guys remember who that is does that ever go wandered during the course of the game.

Well yeah I mean nothing you know you know football's -- tofu the game and you know you don't want anybody. You know there's always is between the whistles you know we don't have a problem we have army you know footballs and we have to keep your problems will -- you know. But you know -- cast across and you know someone crossed that -- You know you're out there particular -- and you know particular team that is. And all calls so you know. What -- over. Actions need to be taken it would you be taken. You know -- you know mean you know of the game is is too good to have cheap shots you know. -- can be done between the whistle and will force him into more physical. He can be used so often physically as want to be between the was bullet. After the play is over and play is over you know and I'm not sure I didn't even so beautifully with after wells but you know. I'm sure would pretty from what I heard it wasn't radio this is.

Very nasty. Did you. Do you do you spend a lot of time thinking about the playoff scenarios for your team especially since. Right now you guys on the outside looking in before games to play one game -- know our our leaders and one game. Behind the Jets in the division do you think about how we need to this this this in this and we need help them in the top how much energy energy.

I guess it's -- toward the end of the season penalty won't look at and see what would needs to be. I just think personally. It's always a tough situation or we don't like to give him -- situation when you for all the people to. Good job thank you always want to take matters into your hands but it you know with that being seeded. I think what we can do is to go went football and to take it one game at a time I beat Seattle. And you know. Whatever happens after that I mean I think you know we have the women you know the west coast troops and then go from there and so. -- myopic -- you know pretty good Shaq you know you know. You know just look at that the league you know it's not. You never know how things can play out so you do squad which are best foot forward -- her so we can do all the things you can control is what you can control him. You know we don't we can't control with the Jets do war. You know indeed the wild card race whatever and -- Who put ourself in a bad situation where you know who comes down to it is. Which were patient at Trinity College football event.

Thank god honest and ridiculous and -- that's that's that's beautiful amassed his death that's benefit of effort take. Yeah he'll beat you do -- him to teams pocket you know. And it -- out of that how -- go to that title game you know yeah -- don't UB US is ridiculous it is it is totally agree which.

Earlier this year you guys played back to back games on the west coast and you stayed out between games one and two I don't know what the schedule is for these two games but. Did you think that helped you guys and you didn't win the second game but did you think it was helpful with the team to not have to make two round trips to the west coast.

I thought it was good. You know she wouldn't win the second him up but we had opportunities up for it you know the school board you know could do with a fourteen point swing in San Diego game and that's what really kind of you know shut the door school bit and wouldn't -- way back into it but I think from a physical standpoint. I thought everyone was ready to go up but it won't inspirational -- group. You know I don't think vet paired in the employee or part in two you know outcome audience so. If that's the question. In. -- forced out there you know.

The -- Lugo are way up to it could I could have let -- Note that this Steelers team is a little different from the running back standpoint and Willie Parker has some big Rochester but he wasn't in there. As much as he probably wanted to be and they -- in the yard loss -- rookie Mendenhall for the year. Even though they look different in terms of personal Alan Faneca is not there anymore the same most dealers in terms of what they're trying to do and in terms of being physical.

Yeah yeah I'm only play the game to a game is supposed to be played you know opposite before have a lot of respect for Pittsburgh in -- coaching staff they. They they play hard to play itself you know they run the football well. And in the time I mean I think. Pittsburgh -- kind of feel for the playoffs you know. I think it's a team that -- plays well on the France awoke. I mean beyond where I wonder if there's absolutely and they can run the football you know beer makes a lot of please form nuclear. So from physical special teams in the Newcomb pitches a mile so. Best what you want out of football team especially in you know. It didn't matter whether tribunal to complain all type would complain to don't make them play outside so you know Pittsburgh as a team different to be reckoned with.

First half. They did really couldn't on the ball against you guys at all like -- and second half they looked like they changed something up because they were more successful on the ground or were they doing differently. I'm obviously I have watched the film it.

You know. But. I'm I'm not really sure what they did different ethnic. You know. Maybe Regis you know they just kept Paramount empowerment and in in the fourth quarter discount. You know those one or two yards and -- going to turn into. You know five or ten yard gains so. Defensively we have to do better job -- stopping -- post a different topic running game meanness that's an excuse.

They just showed it I don't know if you decide. On the screen behind dale they showed that the Welker and yet. By Ryan Clark. I think the issue is he launched. Let with the official had told elected speak to get the issue well they're going to show it again -- Event.

Why did not mommy would this lead. Amid I didn't see that he would. And and -- all in favor. You know you can hear the defense is especially after the plea or. You know after these you know the ball was clearly ovaries it is usually not even you know make an attempt to go do anything like -- he -- replica. You know that's. -- toughness to me you know right. Bush. In largest bank away. They protect the quarterbacks even last night you know I -- via corporate companies like you don't drive into the ground don't. You know don't push into the ground to -- What do you want -- that show why they try to do it to me yeah I mean that I missed. You know it's a tough physical game -- on trotted and they awarded dose he gets into your mindset is well aware UK when you get to the quarterback you can't really give them -- or he can't do this through you know. So you know I think you know we do differently to check ourselves electricity that you really need to put flag on because of you know -- with a cities around the league news. The would've protected the quarterback disturbances differently in the and you saw last week. Where just overall in general. You know the most points scored in history I mean. This is. The league has turned him in today that's what is going to because. Defensive guys who can't do as much as we could at one point -- you know watching the tapes -- pepper Johnson you know back when you know guilty and you know. All of those -- I mean. And -- play football. I mean the way the you know protect the game now and you can't really do it is you can do -- a minute packages to take away from the as the woeful qualities.

It's sometimes dangerous to do this but I'm gonna say the one thing that bugs me a little bit we do see the play and you see the Welker had him. While there's the timeout and everything you'll see a shot of Tomlin and Clark laughing on the sideline. And you don't know what they're laughing about and that's where the dangerous part is I don't know what was said I don't know what happened. But the impression you get is that they thought it was pretty funny that he's while blown off the field.

You I don't on the -- Like -- want to give Internet army epic you know thanks Tom and Clark the issues about I mean it didn't look good but I can't say that's what they would don't -- it. You epic. Well have -- two game road trip now the last at least stay up for the time -- not now we'll talk he instant yes there okay Richard thank you Richard Seymour brought you Ice-T BankNorth.
