" Well you may remember a three weeks ago. Win -- the St. Louis Rams may need coaching change a Scott Linehan was out in Jim Haslett was the end. A French -- was all excited. As he thought it was a possibility get a coaching -- still alive what went left a thought we were excited because we thought this was a golden opportunity for us -- NRA kicker unfortunately -- still here. Jim Haslett now has two wins under his belt out there at St. Louis and the coach of the Rams -- live on the phone right now page of how are you. We're doing all right and under -- little background has and I. Good enough for sure all. With the forest football players going to show 1980 in -- this show that the two of you did drop gripe was -- Bruce is what drugs we just were informative. And has now opera company is too we were like -- fourteen -- who's going -- before we get into talking about you're team how things have turned around the last couple weeks that there was a story up this past week it. When you've got into the locker room this past week things were extremely quiet and if claim that you -- Bobby Knight started flipping cheers of fans I don't use fresh Burleson and irresponsible media role as a decent product before it would not surprise that it didn't happen did it -- handed -- the Jazz didn't."

" Well actually it is there -- really -- Lola. No first Serbian controlled but there were a few choice words. You know it's -- something off my chest. -- best way to do it. You know he's only have a when he it -- a -- For us knows what this. Sometimes it's hard to overcome those things. To do it really did you know -- just a consulted. You know it is it was dealt so bleak failure but they'll they'll just Ellis -- they -- decide sign this -- and it was -- guys. But told you know really it was about the Dallas Cowboys to -- We play and not worry about who were planning you know have fun and do things right in in particular I have to us and they did."

" When it's that just happened -- do you love the the blitz in the zone blitz are very aggressive guy and about you know who taught me how to get in fights in the feel when I was accused him. You know I later when we got up the Buffalo -- respective. You know. Chuck Knox picked us. Specifically 'cause rule that we were very aggressive we want to build a type of reasons -- But seems like this team is adopted the personality as much more aggressive flight of the ball the numbers are dramatic from when used guided. Until now I mean that the team few seem to be -- Little softer and -- much more aggressive in going after the all the blitzing -- teams. Creating turnovers you see that -- Mario as you were up a guy that loves to blitz and loves to put pressure on the field. And you've been able to put that stamp on this team right now."

" Well you know -- were trying to be little more aggressive all three phases and you know we we always been. Fairly aggressive on the side you know peninsula. We wanted to take some -- last week in the special things when it is some different things just. You know that -- about to sit back and say we're going to be here and guess so they actually. All three phases -- look a little bit more aggressive it would just trying to. You know do things right that obviously do things fast and then have fun --"

" you changed at all defensively now that you got a little is back healthy Glover it almost seems like. You're utilizing. Your older veteran players mixing him in with the younger players and -- Backing off their playing time they seem a little bit fresher coming in especially in passing situations."

" Yet you know we ended up playing an eight because of Lyman last week we rotate them all in it actually have any sort of letter to Little League has been backed up -- idea that you. -- He's much more pressured you know do we we actually took over little boy is 34. In the -- the back up so there and not mean he was. Relegated and it rolled just mean if we're trying to get them we just let -- snaps and more efficient with those snaps they'll. We missed the young guys and we had a -- more last week it is has pretty good pass -- Could slow start they like Expos -- it does so it's it's just we have a little bit more. Get open Phil and Adam Carriker the front of both in the second -- guys that are going to be the players."

" oh -- coach you know won the first things the Ramon Bulger back in as your quarterback -- Stephen Jackson that would banged up. -- our office we use to down there at St. Louis. We know Stephen Jackson little banged up -- here we go to see him somewhat limited here this week. If not to say talk about like Marc Bulger as a quarterback and put him back and that leader role."

" Well you don't -- that feeling -- puck to the coaches. And all -- you know for the long term. Disorganization. This year and Marc Bulger and -- now market told you know the rules of kind of reversed when. When mark took over this team had a bunch of veterans and leaders in Italy he came in when. Also you know. Marshall pokey rhetorical. I push go line's been together for five years so they get really have to be a leader had to go in the office and the ball discussed. Well roles were kind of reversed he's the leader. He's got -- this team that we will have three young receivers young -- Young -- hasn't been together long so. Could be -- holds everybody together."

" But as. How much latitude you have some of the coaches sat on and on you know you just took over in. Did their own or just say has taken over and that's what allowed you do the ball to move -- he -- me total attitude to take over the team."

" Well most part of the deal -- you know anyone think this thing over three months and you know Lisa have all the personnel decisions and you know things like -- we can talk it through. You know Fred I don't know if Texas -- have we have enough time in three months we start off pretty well the over the next two would have months to go it'll it'll play we'll see what happens but it. There's there's a good you know of young nucleus of guys here the can kind of built around the -- not really sure that it is really what you what you when will we win three games last when he is coming in the last season it's harder in St."

" A much easier is it -- when you win these two games as the new coach. And guys are banned and two of the toughest game to play in the lineup was employed. And guys are buying into an -- for reading his quotes right now on line guys are buying it much easier does that make your job and convincing these guys. This week they can win again."

" Well it'll -- what you when you lose for so long. You have no confidence -- yourself O'Connell Tennessee teammates in. You know that the teams honestly we have little swagger they feel good about themselves and it is -- in the play in the little bit harder but things that I noticed that not really paid attention to the offense until we took over it was something as an open. Those like like the World Cup it. So -- try to you know try to explain told that. If you could certainly plays a game any eleven local players executed you're going to have 770 plays we're all going to be perfect. You know so. You know you can overcome mistakes and overcome adversity and bad things do happen in the national football the handle I think the best example that is the Patriots. Things happen that team. Over and over years in eight years -- years -- players and coaches and they just keep plugging related to and a great job so. You try to -- it is. You know in the players have been you know it's hard to know when you don't win games it is sort of fight through those things that the last couple games -- the first game. We preach that all week. You know we start off you know third while we have twelve guys on the field to get 21 -- get punt back up the 21 that we that we hopefully he'll score. So you like well and we preaches -- him to have this there's."

" Examine who got the defensive back and yeah. The -- at that it."

" They're really you know the guys that they don't worry about it we fought back and and we had the at the end when the Redskins took the lead we can bet with three minutes to go in the game and so. They give credit the players in -- mister -- in in in hopefully you know couple -- leash he can bet the little slip and make you feel good so."

" Did you learn you know I mean you're down the Orleans -- his coach Suarez Israel's and beat -- was it doesn't think yeah that's given that's. That's the first coach in history to win a playoff game for that franchise coach -- via. And then you know that missed extra point limelight with my TV with a little window -- of that. Word he'll learn from coaching -- head coach -- the -- success that had that happen arsenic in next shot. You learn a lot being around him in waiting for your turn again."

" Taylor regular alive and I think. The better coaches overseas. It was another opportunity because he -- success in Billings scenes access and Tony Dungy and you know that Tom Coughlin because they've done -- finished -- with the players -- through I think you better in game game management you'd better with the media. If -- players 88 bases in. But -- it was so hard show and it took over. You know on the people witness of the eagle there's not a part of this thing I ended up with the with the hurricane and being displaced this is easy compared of that -- You know we -- to win and -- I don't know that it will tell let. A pro I promise that the people in his ability in the -- it will play -- will be will be competitive field. Given everything as a good enough you know holy --"

" We're coming up once as hasegawa take it affords the east coast -- you know prior. -- week we have Russia you know and I want -- well I think gosh you've got a shot fifty per dusty can -- and -- to stay out that late at night. We'll bring you knows -- go -- a coach or wherever novelist and -- more more around here that Fred apparently. There's a big following in the gay community would not believe. I thought out it's great and it's it's double with guys -- period this'll we have we've not created anything apparently -- He's a -- as a hero he's alleged that that's really out pass doesn't payment Lama and at California the audits of through things we did you know I doubt anyone think before we let you go. Obviously the Patriots are a different team without Brady the loss of Rodney Harrison this past week and what concerns you the most in what you've seen. With this Patriots team right now in what your team offers were concerns you the most."

" Well I think well -- the what's team play with energy and passion of fly rod -- on. You know obviously did a great job running the football and then -- Is a good job stoppage so whenever we get our hands fully it it has a hard place to play it. It's a hostile environments you know want to play good football team with a great coach in. You know what. And again I don't know what's going to happen but he things happen all of us -- in -- league that will go up there will play hardened you know hopefully have a chance in the in the fourth quarter."

" You -- would realize that great coaches available the potent -- about. So I'm putting in my time and I can add that will play him I love St. -- moving its will we got a little you followed that letter -- rent from us. I just think despite its attacks as a my last -- but -- you know it was nice -- the caller I think if you asked me specifically. Were beaten. Yeah she specifically what did you -- can't help myself to control I want going to be and it. I just I suspect it caught red."

" I'll I'll get one thing. Com the players is sold out and now it could be that they just hated Scott Linehan I don't know but we're not around up but they hear the difference of the players over the last couple weeks and -- that they're making. The go to Orlando Pace smacked the Diego and St. Louis I got and you look at that team before when the mythic adventure Marc Bulger is handled this is your starter. It's a -- his fault that offensive line has been an absolute mess over the years he just took. They're this team's so called -- later their quarterback and you put -- on the bench because. Guys weren't giving him enough time you know yet young receiving core like that the first movie makes is getting their leader back into that he's going to respond."

" And you know him to an all a's it was an -- they would Tuesday immune to move out live in mind you as any it's fine after that. Why ticket to and it's going to be much wants to be -- and goes yeah you could be in the world of his lonesome layup of layup but you're still there but a favorite -- my -- you know I'll throw one of those funny outfits they'll lock it up and down available this -- exactly."
