" I've backed -- enough Foxborough -- Gillette stadium it is patriots Monday Arabic -- copy of the coach brought to you by Dunkin' Donuts America. Runs on Duncan or Belgium congratulations 100 went. The patriots. -- the state of -- on today. -- about a -- which -- harder it would -- and those. Fred Fred get up early this morning actually -- the sleepless mighty big -- some -- that's honest I'm glad try to eat about it with the bat. We'll sort of Steve I don't Fulham a plastic kickbacks for the might be something missing underneath that don't have chocolate that's pretty good as well. Cart under Chris I. I let's get there -- let's get to yesterday's game in no surprise from Pittsburgh which are a lot of blitzes we -- a lot of different looks like nine to 90% with the -- so. How did you deal with him and how did your game plan change at all as you -- as you'll watch insisting on full."

" Well we really didn't have much of a chance run the ball based on being in you know spread formation them -- a lot of guys close alliance Remington and you know bring in 767 guys really just about every play so there was it was a -- upon and but our offensive line did a great job in the pickup says that the backs and and -- in terms of getting -- and sometimes the protection redirected to where they were coming from. We had to throw -- a few times but not too many and you know overall we have pretty good execution in the passing game on perfect but for the most part the quarterbacks and receivers -- on the same patient and the and the overall protection against. But a set a lot of blitzes I mean we've that's. -- facts though. No bed that the buzz is that protection as good an and there are times when we had those guys come freedom we did have blocked because of the the blitz against the protection that we had -- we got rid of the ball -- and we had a couple you know slip screens and and balls out there to try to going to you know glorified run plays -- about six or seven of those so that that help people council but."

" As on the stretched that you get the ball rode down the stretch you you'd be able recognize that mismatch while rely -- When you -- them climb -- welcome -- continue to do that that's something took advantage of it to to me as it was what seven times he catcher role. Well we're behind by response section so we recognize that match up from the going to go to."

" Well you know they didn't do that very much early in the game had Townsend on Ohman and then on the after we stopped after Harrison stopped award on the one and we put that the four wide group and they left their regular -- that's on the field that it forced the outside linebackers. Victorian -- one -- right or -- on the first play actually those fears that try to get out their -- walker and and so get the ball to -- slot receiver their against that coverage was it was a pretty favorable matchup surprising depth with that. Well let you know -- We've been on the other side of the ball on that one when you're you know you're stuck in it in a defensive grouping and they don't know -- on the keep me you know than it's hard sub so think they were caught that for a little bit now and then try to just but you know we're basketball the the one our -- six and a half minute drive in those all -- But it was like short completions and some catch and run plays and vote on that good job of really believe the clock so that even though. Even though we're no horrible he was going pretty slow pace that line of scrimmage where we -- businesses but six and a half minutes on the drive them off that was good."

" Wasn't just an accident that if policemen have going to be the victim of the number of -- creative players who was. But anything that was you just the link you were going to --"

" You know -- you know Steve date it's a sort of hard to toe with them who's going to be the deep safety because of their blitz zone sometimes they did with so well one side and -- once safety down sometimes it puts on the other side. And drop the other safety down -- I think on the on the double past that that he was the middle field safety on that one on the post a moss. You know I'm not sure whether he was supposed to give to look like Taylor was looking for -- and I'm not sure whether he was supposed to give that helped the Taylor or whether he wasn't and Taylor just you know got beat on the -- myself that via the amateur so but again it's hard -- design plays like that because they they mix up who whether it was him or Tyrone Carter was hard to know overture which I was going to be the safety. So they they you know I'm not unhappy that they turn down on him."

" run Gracie yeah. That's you could say -- censored that's right said he was actually. In the -- entrance requirements that it does not off an epic games now and and that's been cleaned up a lot by league in the last few years from. Yes on the incidents on the fourth game when a reporter in it was slightly Pittsburgh at some problems and was. You know usually you know usually see that. We -- you -- talked to by the coach opening in my mouth and he's not a high in play with an arbitrary. In that starts this is story right. -- may not make it whole argument that double I wrote real quick how often do you work on actors with -- you focus on the leader when we practice or. The summit would work on throughout the year. And -- and a fifth writing of -- scout team. He's meant a pretty well. Pros said this in. You know it's those of the kind of we we had in awhile ago peace in the and you know you work on at -- if you feel like while -- get a chance to run at this week but it will be okay next week then immediately and run again. Sometimes you play like that in the next week he says well -- this this really isn't a play against this team -- restaurant last week -- you drop and then you bring back all week but this is the play we had for couple weeks and make it since -- against the ravens we we didn't. And oh it left him with Soviet good you know to play for the Steelers and we -- actually called. When when the calls -- it was a call. And Raymond to a double double if -- well we've we've. -- run up a run line for adults you know as a special place you know whatever is this the the lateral -- And then you know grandes that you know hold the -- in the -- that's out there as long as possible like drop in the ball you know have much time doing -- and pick up with the fact that Tom. You could see you on the -- back to Tom those those nobody knew about 20 yards and Pittsburgh -- pursuing team knows who's good roll over their -- and that the past the moss and then. You know Tom a lot of time that there and a inevitable that -- a lot of running. But -- I play a lot of room -- on yards you know."

" We were joking about it yesterday you know by fumbling it actually sold better but it was what amazed me is. Moss to be able to pick it up then again almost local whole planet and it never panicked a lot of times guys will dive on it they'll pick it up they'll try to run with -- he knew exactly what he had to do which is pretty amazing."

" Bill would grandes you know he's got a lot of poise out there he can almost always does the right thing and so. And again we're from the -- few times in practice and different things that happen in practice you know sometimes that the fans get their quicker than other -- you know so it's a little bit an acting job they're trying to. Try to supplement as far as you can before you throw back Tom and let him. You know look downfield. Also -- and a player that was sort of in the slot made a nice little. Chip block here discriminate extra half a second yeah possibly with -- doesn't make up blocker of the replicates Ron that's right yeah that was a key block by. I don't end and linebacker Higgins is coming out there and he got the moss justice to a ago. So in the tying -- was -- good but that yet key block we we thought there would be one player up. Because they usually have one guy that the on the slot and then it's all were responsible for him. And then you know we just had to get at all before inside pursuit got to -- as we didn't have them walk."

" What is -- we're very specific defensive adjustments made in the second half and then -- 210 points in the second half. Having to pace that you saw the two kimono for."

" Well after the first after the first drive we played a lot better on third down that we did on the on the first drive -- and they picked up three for -- was believe we try to tight coverage down a little bit and you know obviously keep the quarterback in the pocket was an emphasis the whole game we had a couple times Oregon there but the big thing -- was is going to get and then some longer yardage situations and trying to apply more pressure and think that a couple times -- pressure you know kind of help from author -- little -- the Astros as we kept him in the pocket made him throw over we we did a better job when he scrambled mountain you know -- I ran for it and get the first now police and a fourth it is some muscle -- You know the next Tom was on the -- played -- so. Given in the pocket and and handle the pressure I think that coach bring a pressure we're able to keep them -- how many times you close call him on the court. I don't count like seven times they called once it but he was. He would say he would run for at least 45 of the times we came on the -- he watched the films he was almost all of they but he missed that wide open it's they might does a good job and and he's you know he's good -- there's a very good technique -- structured as a -- tackles hands often and and try to Tipton you know but the a but he did nice jobs -- kind of from that you know are left side that quarterbacks right that's the key side because that's quarterbacks the side he can see the one tackle wolf wolf looked at quarterback coach and not into the bleachers you. You know -- the end of I was -- he played outstanding game of NC -- Mensa tickets next to -- red zone defense something that you guys -- that a little bit of difficulty with three times they get down there they get three points that that's it for the -- to know what they do differently well. But they were just you know we were fortunate we -- some real real good place you know at the -- is when he ends -- all they it was just this an outstanding play it and all's well thrown Ronnie played perfectly went up there in. Was back doubles you know as it will knock now picks up there on on or. And again we you know we didn't. You know we just didn't allow home you know that doesn't take much down there Melanie cochlear isn't listed on the convert those third downs in the red area. That's really what's going to kill us we actually been okay on first and second down a lot of our. The touchdowns we've been knocked down third down operators so you know yesterday over his -- or more goes down."

" Master but run the -- Hines Ward where he goes in motion empty backfield looks like they're going to throw the football as -- is collateral Leo on the line. How does -- pick him up and and not get burned it you know in pass coverage of -- thrown -- football -- how does he commit there."

" Well he had -- so he you know he basically just -- with a -- him across the formation and had they not handed Stillman -- they would just basically been in -- stride for -- with the -- the ball. But I thought might very able really make keep port that was a key guy in the play because he knocked the there was a wing Mary kind of pushed the wing back about the three our clients of one war took the ball -- and the depth. You know we've just run parallel the line of scrimmage there and and when the tightening -- knocked back into the fact that a little bit then then war had this sort of stopped and either. You know cut in or feel it kept going would have to give some ground again outside and I don't think it would have made it that way so. You know we can't stop there and then when he tried to scored in Ronnie was was right there so get over able really it was a big part that plate to secrecy. You know before ward -- Lofton and didn't really you know can't get good chance to a tactical line."

" I measure with -- ago like -- it's a ridiculous success on on third and short you know over the year I imagine. The guys would -- geared up for shall become -- of the middle."

" Well you know we know that the steals -- ball and run -- in and so -- you know that went with our goal line out there on third down which might have been a little early because -- at two receivers in the game and so I'm not sure whether that's what they were looking for they checked to a fade and and is that -- plan on the settlement summers -- again in the fourth quarter. Surprise you -- got to run the ball in the guys room -- improvement in. They continue probably goes down by 21 points seem like it was you know as kind of similar what what Miami did. In kind of the same situation after Miami head you know it date comeback and we threw the interception and it seemed like Miami that took sort of the same approach as Pittsburgh yesterday which does. More just you know run our offense in on not make it you know the back and throw every down just does -- offense -- the runs and passes and so you know we we were a little light on some of those plays make insure that you know -- give up anything behind this development plays but you know they thought they couldn't. You know pop one of those runs you know like -- that on the 30 -- earlier. To with a difference there running with the because they have basically pressure defense or -- garage. They were forcing you to do specific things well I think if we -- you know we -- we spread out and so if we have brought. You know one or two those players back into the formation and we would it's brought one or two more of their guys back in the formation and and notes is sort harder to see who's bullets and then what they do -- wings spread amount like we did at least when they detached a couple more guys than you know the only at each year deal with fewer bodies inside it was easier seat. You know what was one who was due and you know not have to account for guys listened but they were right at their threatened bullets. And found that great of identify and gotten an offensive -- good job Balkman as -- that sort them out along with -- I did not put him back to run to president William over 120 yards but 13 out of 32 times -- the ball and stop them for three or two left that's significant improvement I think the last couple weeks and even though athletic stats and -- be very deceiving. Yeah I thought that we overall play the run defense that we've played our run defense better still not as good as you -- it for sure but. Photos better we had a couple plays where they broke out for some big gains and and that was. You know got to get those -- no question but but as you said on more consistent basis play after play at the -- more good plays -- knows some. Not so good -- sprinkled in there than than just a lot of bad poised what is the issue was stopping the run right now and that it seems that sometimes -- the that certificate is tackling issues. Or voiced its team defense -- community fancied you know you got to have everybody doing their job Virgo Ronald find that spot and you know and sometimes it's that he -- Sorenson in and so that's coaching and you know -- are so many rather you know we're on the right. The fans were really have a good leverage angles on the play -- that makes it'll be easier for them around the ball but in the end it comes down to you know there's always somebody -- block everybody that on the ball on not block this guy that guy. In the blocked everybody so comes down to the defenders. Being able to deal with those blocks -- to -- off the blocks and an attack or runner and the more space you give harder is the tackle so. You know it's it's on its just its team defense everybody's doing their job and if there's a breakdown of tobacco on the whole."

" Rodney Harrison step up -- big these last two weeks between those who has played Baltimore against Pittsburgh if you 11 to go to Julio thought it was well through and he -- becoming around tremendously and soon be -- at the --"

" On know -- is -- he's good football player it's a wrote a football player he does so many things well he can. You know -- can tackle well and stop the run he can cover he's good blitzer he disguises coverages well smart football players that tough player he's got a very good speed and quickness peace. You know he's made -- force on kickoff coverage as the safeties so he he's just really valuable player forceful way around it does an outstanding job. You know who works hard work as hard as anybody we have and it's a great example for. And I could say for the younger players that's great example for all of us are using may differ."

" or maybe more than you were wrote earlier on the season no I wouldn't say so -- vent sometimes Steve as you've seen in in the last few weeks even go back to the Indianapolis game replaced in three safeties. And and you know he he's certainly a part of that you know -- placed closer that line of scrimmage and so but that's gonna packing to -- venues and for a you know almost half the season so it's really. It is that coach did you see a difference there are talking about Roethlisberger ability to read -- is not be confused like you have to the first time. The last time replace them. This over the film guy section that you want to see -- improved play against sees the field makes but it decisions"

" yeah I think he ethic he's much better than his rookie year sure you know no doubt about it but I think as he has good job on -- and drop back passing game. You know on the play action passing and they they really that try to go to the you know they they don't drop back to. You know from fullback in the flat that kind of thing they drop back you know to heave it that's what play events play it was such a big play because really that. Pretty much knocked them out of that type of of -- it and come back to redden and native electric to protect it well enough to two run for a -- those but that. You know as this is tough thing for the defects stop if you want to get up and stop Iran and they they pitch it deep it's that he he does a good job on the deep ball. And of course you know best thing he does the when he scrambles out of pocket -- eyes downfield and and pick up those the perceive person and make big plays like the wind made Davenport so I think he's definitely developed as a quarterback from. Most VO forces in those first year and you know yeah he's he's much better than it was -- and I think he continues to get better each year is that big difference with this is human he gets in trouble it looks like -- instead -- just look for the real -- past I saw that -- when he scrambles he looks fade in on I think that if he doesn't -- penalties in the pocket -- throw the ball out of there on time -- you know there on out coats and curls and you know some read routes and Sidon and -- he does a good job with those. You know he he didn't turn the ball over weight in lead in our hands on any balls you know we make good decisions with the football but. He he does a great job when he gets -- on the pocket he is a great job Sihanouk the receivers open downfield their series to pitch I would get an open honest Sam Johnson and -- Good we have four touchdowns in the ball around -- stuff so. What was the thinking with two objects on kickoff returns well we have six receivers for the Kaman and you know we thought we'd be at some spread offensive sets and so we -- more depth at receiver and you know which has been working back there since these you know come back here for. In a few weeks and though we get an opportunity if there is a good job on that after the kick field goal you know to get some field position get a starter back there so I was -- before or is but he hit that it got so. You know we have a number guys -- can return kicks you know royals can do it of course Maroney was atop the league last year. You know Weston and -- and Kevin -- have long and so you know we've we've got some you know good depth at that position. Company check his Okafor is what's the thought of using different guys that position he'll just what think it's just trying to break down you know your overall roster and and I give everybody. You know try to try to spread the jobs out so everybody can really you know. Be productive or what they do NL has done a great job force back there return kickoffs don't give Iran I think also is an outstanding but you know he's got a lot of defensive responsibilities and and a lot of times when he has to return those kickoffs it's it's right after a long defensive series you know we've been out there for you know government in place so and he's -- great conditional mean at that went to -- and it's just you know it's they have a lot of in a responsibility to him and in on I love having him back there how much he'll be back there you know again depends a little bit on some of those things that are zone and we have other people who couldn't. Let's say do as well as him that do it close to as well as him then you know and they wouldn't you know spread spread a little bit."

" the other an all time record you. Well it throws inactive for the game pitcher you know towards and -- you the most it's a simple question that. On a play guys in on the ball -- this obviously news reason but to play action passes private is good mechanically is obscene Steve Howell connect that you know. Talked about veteran again when Brady had to play action pass. And the safety bit -- the wide open pass to room to review laws. It was everything that you hadn't run that much as I was surprised at the safety bit so heavily on the play action pass or don't -- itself without yeah yeah I -- he had a great faith. But we're surprised it puts a lot of and"

" it against the -- I mean I've Fred I'm not sure exactly. What coverage they ran in other words if he was supposed to give help to Taylor then he bit on hard. If he just had the tight end and wasn't going to get help then. You know then he can come up complain Iran and then take the tide and he came -- which in my case was Kyle who wasn't release on the patterns so. Not sure exactly how they had that you know ruled out but any case -- on one guy back there. But I thought the other player that was that was a well execute it was the third one. Where work embrace him also on -- on in the sounds like for like ten or 12 yards that was our third short situation and and again the whole defense you know came up and and attacked the running game you know very aggressively and and -- had a lot of space that there was these conversions so that's a."

" Rising though it. When you do such a beautiful face you know and in. Peyton Manning doesn't like quarterbacks don't emphasize Brady does a great job it would really fake and hide the ball give so much more difficult reached that the present libel quarterbacks don't. Really workaholic and a half past lake right we're not Brett you know really helps computers -- before us"

" it doesn't and as you know is on offensive lineman that don't really want to sell it because their freedom get an over aggressive and get beat in pass protection so they. The costs like a pass even though it's a run but -- you can get your team to really sell the play then you know it's tough on the defense because you've got to respect the running game and and then you know a discreet a lot of separation between your linebacker level and your secondary level thought -- them."

" There a short week last week having played Monday night to give the guys Wednesday off to just think backing off we give them a little bit more energy could certainly the guys talked about that after the game yesterday that they felt that they had a lot more in the in the tank yesterday."

" I think that from think you know that was I think that was good but I also think it helped us from a coaching standpoint I have a little more time Wednesday to prepare for the game you know we've we've got back late early Tuesday morning and so we you know lost on Monday with the game then. You know Tuesday this wasn't normal Tuesday because -- You know tired from the trip and you know all all in all that so I think you know Wednesday it helped us a little that it to get a good night's sleep Tuesday to come -- to review the game plan. You know make sure that we had everything right for the players and and that we can really move forward once we start -- movement which can really move forward. You know one of the worst things that can happen from a coaching standpoint in the game plan. And then as you're going through UConn realizes coaching staff we this is what we want here. And you're kind of backtrack a whole week votes ever going to do it this -- now that or. We severed it is but now looks like when they do these other things is going to cause some problems. You know them by the end of the week he'd -- He spent a lot of time if he'd just got to write the first place you know you could've spent less time Moore gone and so I think there was little bit out last week to want to make sure that goes into the game. We gave the players you know good clear definition of how we play some of the very challenging things that Pittsburgh person distinction tells the coaching staff needed an extra day. Oh sure absolutely no you absolutely should always say that buffalo there was during the games"

" if I let's get to this week's game plan as was dead. Does and it's so it's just physically to include originally come so quickly to -- elements of a dent got nothing against them you know -- like -- as we saw the jets above."

" In lock rooms and coach from where you -- where it's been true because truly don't know who the next week is right. -- goes my platoon for a for a lot of people right here is unimaginable that that people can't that that guys on the team don't know with the -- to play index put that there's that hyper focus on on the mr. and I don't know how can you bought. But the public doesn't understand how you can -- you know -- you'll pay attention exactly if it is"

" you know news you're going to get the team like the ravens you only think about the ravens and then -- against the Steelers and -- 93 coming in here and -- their divisional and only think about it's just getting past the Steelers -- you worry about next week next week so but that's. You know we've. Very challenging stretch here and and certainly the Steelers took go to called our attention -- and we needed to given all of our attention and then and now. Turn the page and and move on the jets you prepare for the onslaught of ridiculous dumb stupid question -- start out your."

" About what -- and the NFL are apparently have brought on a few worked on the handshake yet. You know well yeah with all that crap from you know fortunately. Just well it is good it is but it is -- on the market I'm not going to get all that we've Murray we've Horry talked about it and if that's what comes up then there will be some very short press conferences this week I you know will talk about the Jetsons but we've we've Horry talked about all the in the modern relationship -- and Celtics. What happened -- league this season so it's got a nice kiss against right now might play a regular rock and a -- oracle this week we're going to concentrate on on the jets in the game and all the other stuff. But the -- it's going to be abused -- press conference that well lately I think that's the way it's probably because you don't use by -- plan Bs after -- flavor they played they beat Pittsburgh few weeks ago they should could be Cleveland last night. You know a lot of runs and -- you know we saw a lot of that the Pittsburgh jet game and we saw a lot of that degree for Pittsburgh as of those. You know recent Damon and some things that that they do offensively indeed that's that's an application what we'd do so and just played very well Steelers or -- and so they're very good in the kicking game agreed in return Washington. And they're good field position Kaman another run the ball well with Jones and the offensively. A very complex blitz package the rate for and they can appear -- Don't got -- last year so you know think we have a lot of respect for. With the jets capable of which Clemens do what it's close. To break his game athletic guy good arm but the he's -- scale you know please we we really didn't seem much clemency played. You know just open after our game -- game -- got hurt an expert and he did in his next week or weeks ago but clothes -- of the pre season and again athletic strong arm. Market you know has good points back there. I think you know he's certainly been Capel run in and a lot of confidence and as. It took a Pennington news you know -- we know depending is -- wells last year. And does that they -- an outstanding work accurately it is for them to feel competent Clemens -- you know them like Ottawa on the."

" They move they move the defense around -- can't walk on with the strength of the last time when they feature -- they -- all players often about them over and -- on the move. They see the move -- if you keep you from getting them. The blocking scheme correctly from the regular season games the regular I was yeah they've and they blitz from all the things prior blitz as much as. We've seen off of this Bucs bring."

" But right up there with a yep rather wear them while they can. You know -- certainly thing gets on the run with it than than -- common but you know they they have a lot of different blitzes and that with the secondary guys let's linebackers and it you said the movements I'm around a lot so it's it's. You know it's -- it's -- heart system to get ready for and you know oval really need to -- focus -- you know only takes. You know one bad play and get a strips factory get a ball took them on back for you know touchdown some like that those of the kind of plays at the is so. You know we're really have to do -- job of offensively take care of the ball in the future we have more comfortable we'll do with the -- John Houston you know because there's a regular calls about via the George Clinton who warned to expect -- the -- felt it."

" Wanted to -- there was available on this side I'm with yeah looked like it went -- it's a regular on LP it's going to grab them on the way down so does their pregame world so you blow that thing jumpers and that's been talked that Reebok official pump where -- you have a 120000 people in those next week through treatment I. -- it's never heard lately grace lecture played well in -- go to class -- though I don't see that stupid plane it was flying overhead he has problems that you heard about it obviously. Street try to have a great -- I meant but it was a it was just not read that right sniper rifle he he's actually had a shot -- Hit a slingshot came close to block and -- plan on this guy I thought as part of -- Cuban thing in the -- the two I was. Guys this planet who was who -- that the -- I don't really -- I thought we know who it is on the unprecedented."

" Even in -- in the eye doubts are the only thing pokes it -- question coaches question of the wake right now you're seven MVP VW dealers. Can slide you what do what do all eight VW would no money down no down payment no first on no security zero -- side -- and drive. Aceh are from Watertown asked this question coach when I hear commentators talking about the gaps on defense like the age gap on the -- up. What are they referring to can you explain the different responsibilities certain --"

" Well the I think the when most teams do it there is the identified gaps from the inside out of this honor guard gap as the kneecap the guard tackle at -- the the -- the tackle and -- as the C gap and the by it and wing gap would be that the gaps and if there's that's the wingers that he's Joe's play on the beat yet in its mixing things between 12 in the guard -- tackle. And viewers I am on the offensive play who's responsible for the gap. For as responsible for the eight -- responsible for the began plans responsible for the seat. You know and it just clears up the the -- that's responsible season and the next play could be. Right in the began peed in the gap clemency so -- put -- about where Dahlia so -- check to see -- them -- witness it's just this identified related the gap responsibilities all of isn't and those letters are pretty pretty uniform pretty standard in most teams talk."

" neglected ST coach questions which by your local MVP Volkswagen dealers like -- sure VW. There and over VW gallery in nor would be sure asked about nothing downside and drive CM VP VW dot count. For more got a question -- mostly where that we need to maybe more eventually but this -- you know zero -- ourselves signing zero ground zero payments eventually it's also a happens with Sosa don't ask their cars and I. Body you know throw for -- for a tall athletic ability that he president and TV's very real TV in college in -- in what two months has been used to run races with TVs on shoulder took overworked although with Murray's. Weights -- anyone throughout the they questioned for the week -- but we all look away when he says is a little -- and Rick Peterson but. It was it was view of thoughts a tough play but but it was a good play."

" He what did you think about the the turnover on the pond. -- began growing. That it hurt but I felt better singer so finally the -- the good thing about as far as what do you think it could be you know let's say -- in the Steelers what would you say about that it was it now. Whose faults at the -- at their block the -- goner and that's that's an awful in is there. That's the system to operate be honest with you play elect out of all the times -- the guy should be aware of the ball comes from that once seemed like it was a -- it was a -- everywhere I wasn't wasn't republic and to be whistle right caught off guard. A disposed you know. Like people -- patriot sort of positive right now as of right."

" last week if people call up let's say a pitcher ritual lockyer whatever we're trying to explain you know you know like is when you -- the lottery you you execute the right place. At the end of the game that's how you when he -- that might be one of those plays that was lucky that you could look at and say you get the right bounce -- half off track."

" Got right -- could hit the -- and not and not -- them -- I -- I think that -- you know on the -- most important thing. When you're on the par return team the number one most important thing if you get the ball in the play. So everything else is secondary to that end and not get hit with a ball or mishandled balls you know is is number one separates so. -- I was your guys and happened widger says Drew well -- that you I would I would put the responsibility on the returner and and the guys who are block and two see -- I was very far NASA had and then. It that a -- also on the on the punt return I think our president that would have been -- on end and hopefully they would heard it and got away from -- but say to ban on the other side of the field. -- world book the -- bounced objections four in the course of ago to kick off of that is what that was like. One of those were he might have been able handle it better. -- but -- but since at least that was -- turn over Korea -- kind of space that the returner is on the ball in this case these are going to block and who the ball hit them and and champion turnovers so you know you've got to have some kind of communication between the returner in the blockers. Take away from the ball on and it's going to be an accountability of the blockers to not let it hit them more. You know -- going to be formal."

" Tibet and not that you can necessarily coach that comes scenario but I -- remembers what the many times every single well punt return practice or meeting he would talk about that possibility every single time that you've got to know I don't care how we're engaged to warrant in your block wherever you don't know where the ball was you -- get a yellow especially when you're that close to the returner two -- you know -- turner scream in the right as yellow ball and so it's not that something you strictly -- Acosta reminder -- what you flew all the time that's the that's going to keep -- your toes to."

" Yeah and as soon as those guys know that the ball's not going to be caught with a me a signal or or horrible call from the returner. Than what they should do is get out of bounds well you know is get out of bounds and they were within a yarder to be an out of bounds. And had they just you know gay react a little bit quicker and it just jump out of bounds then. If the ball and hit them or it's not a bounce you know on that's. But it it's a fine line between you know all that good a good block in may may be good field position on and you know monitor our good. Coach jay Sanders made a nice play on that gripped -- centers that are real nice player that. Again gradually -- hundredth win thank you thank different --"

" For a while we use our most rookies. Flown or eaten all the -- when he tells us afraid but he Steve and I would I coach congratulations under wins 13 in all and actually -- right it was the jets actually we didn't like honored when jets. I interviewed you tell us I don't know air still love. Round in there are ways you said earlier I have this self respect in some respects it's in. It it seems like a lot more than some respect that goalless went fast who has a lot of of the Muslim big wins in there to about two -- violence means some ridiculously exciting games -- and so. I don't know how many games of -- a lot we're going to try to make -- in they two but on its -- a simple it is appoint those guys is good for the ratings because of the year -- even -- the ball well lately yes. When things have anybody to to a -- guys like -- on five of -- looks like they've. So it examines the evidence was I I -- one play last night so like -- common interests is generating some CBS moved to Miami game to a 415 race in super great the other might soon."

" And then the next week at the plant Saturn. So they moved out we -- who got three hours actually it's going to happen. Is that it was is this through haven't you learned it is it is what it is clueless you're just like with what you're dealt with like coach congratulations again good luck next week at a bugs don't work on Sunday and show the boys give you want them -- that we've got to crack down the mood of your home track and most and I don't all right -- I -- totally different thing if I think -- are here at the show"
