" I back near the big show it is Patriots Monday when live down here Gillette Stadium East Africa few of the coach -- with a coach brought you by Dunkin' Donuts. All America runs on Duncan good afternoon -- Lakeland I don't -- our vehicle Steelers coach. I given a chance to look at the the film today and that would kind of snowballed in the in the third quarter seemed to change up we're talking about it earlier today with the Pittsburgh was able to do. Little bit defensively was in a matter of opportunities that you had before that time. Where you could have taken maybe you know substantial lead -- game might have changed --"

" A lot though we had some opportunities in the course of the game and you know it's going to do better job with those and certainly the turn overs Curtis and you know or. This spurs' efficiency on third down reload or those that terrorists though was those -- we had to do better job in every area you know. Coach and playing and running passing situation football. We Sinclair vessel missed -- chances that's going to put over twelve of the last drive went -- a dozen of them before you know. I don't keep this. -- on the I don't goes where it is a Fisher has offices but wanted to surprise that some of that. You know. The nutrients in this game like. They're effective if you're blitzing team but -- leave things open when they blitz there was some dropped passes and things of that nature day again I've that -- we had our chances. But we just went into an off Williams. Like the question is if there was anything they did it he didn't see on film what you were prepared well. -- now nowadays they pretty much do that they do well thinkers and they do well and they're good defensive football team. But they just they too attentive and that's that's oil let's put never really haven't you know on the play against those head coach at Cleveland in 91 and one tower came in 92 there's there's really -- new. Last fifteen years which you know -- credit the stand -- could kind of maintain the same system that they don't look like they outlawed. Certainly it is there. Having go Slater instead of vote -- Saul is back there was that a factor of those being sick in the you know long drive through both of -- of the just we're just. Right I'll assisted to break there and and you know -- and return kicks were Sawyer pre season nugget of in the then. The negative play on the island -- he you know these these return kicks well force. There's a lot of -- water -- dropped a couple balls Pittsburgh dropped a couple balls Gaffney was -- you think the balls that difficult to handle it was rainy out of visible. The ball -- tejada. -- we have seen worse conditions it's always say -- works and we saw a lot of lot of good catches this predictive so. I think it's -- more matter of of concentration and might have affected. One -- two Obama I don't know but it it didn't. NC defect that old game their plane catch it. Lucas coast mystery what it was a very private along with a -- telecast as the golden totals don't. You know just but it just the bottom line is for us that that that we just we need to do better job -- all three phases of the game."

" We'll find the five turnovers in. Which is pretty amazing in any game and a half -- how many games you are ever going to win when you turn the ball over five times like -- That's -- I have -- out. -- Bruce ever -- you know Harrison wasn't a true by the look like a couple those who was. Came wide American step up -- hole leading -- a ton of pressure grooming him so happens the wrong time in the wrong place. You get enough pressure outside Matt didn't freedom and -- infield to step up. Because they're doing pretty good job of block in the NC a ton of pressure."

" I thought overall pass protection was it was pretty good we've just view you know we had some bad plays at the wrong time -- and that. That and it works how the government. They played they played a quite a bit at two deep zone which which they that is an uncommon for them and and they mixed in their blitz zones. A little bit of quarters comfort."

" With is -- anything in particular you can point to that would. Why don't go to a struggling is as much as -- is or is it doesn't. Look is as bad or Phil was it looks on TV."

" Well I just think overall our our defensive production can be better across the board. Upfront. If the intermediate levels with linebackers and -- coverage and and that the Eagles and we just. Gotta get all the receivers tighter force. Forced quarterbacks get in there was some horror throws and also. In improve our pass rush I think all those things go hand in hand so you don't have. If I get a lot of pressure on the quarterback and and he says section time to throws and then that exposure a little bit more and vice versa if you rush the quarterback but you know on the receivers tight enough then let -- work either so. Expect the team defense and we. In which they do a better job than than we did yesterday."

" teams having so much success especially over the middle. Tight ends over the middle why are they having so much success against your defense over the middle."

" What they did just you know each play with Smith that they look at each play and I think just in general that we've. You know we've we've given a completions and suddenly go outside so I'm out blitzes -- one particular thing. Says prices many throws size and it's but it said the roads -- I think this is very personally didn't. One of the reasons you're -- Weaver's office Bears Thomas who. Pastor when he comes in the game he stays in for about 98% of the games -- correct and when you take him out of the game you have to use multiple good group of guys that have been to do what he does normally by himself. Well -- so it was a versatile player forces no doubt about that and you know we would love to have all the players that. We we have on the team out there but that's just not the way it is so. Think. The last few weeks peers and a good job outside and carry -- little more playing time. The postal both those players have that done well in the third and resorts. Because thirty personally traditionally his team has been the he'll bend but don't break which seems like there's score at a higher proficiency we've seen. Since the politics -- before it's been there's any exploration just breakdowns in crucial times. Well we're -- similar situation Lester defensively. Our record production wasn't. Was a little ones beat Leicester Andy -- and unfortunately that. Hasn't provable -- well. You know we've worked on it and we tried the emphasize and we -- keep working."

" by by Clark wait mediocre core Welker. Good chance of triggered just look at what do you think of it and considering with some of your players have been suspended for. For not nearly as severe infractions that would mean to do to -- this guy deserves to have you know I haven't funded teams and missed a gamer through that hit. That was very bright that was one more dangerous exemption last. Five years."

" Well it's federal and Ottawa I think. It was penalized so I'm sure the legal take a look at it and they'll. Decide whatever they wanted to silent. I can't speak for them as well brokered the sure thing is that he's felt better for us who have ready -- the beginning of the field -- it was critical okay you know and when your first definitely. In the forties that. -- Lawyer wrote maker for children put things we saw early on like him and then you face mask and along ought to reflect for -- leather helmet to let -- Colorado. But go early on in the seventies and in late sixties that stuff was -- Clothes lining them and now goes to -- with different would you place him but that doesn't go to bed -- it is today you -- shot -- like -- we have to look at replied. And -- clean up with a point is that the guys defenses you can't commend him with what is the objective -- I mean it looks went through those who choose to be common occurrences. Now they find you're suspended. And we've changed dramatically with the guys like Ronnie Lott might be able played that they could do league rules. Well well we'll see what the league wants to. Wants to do that but I I really don't know what they're -- what their criteria is or what they're going to besides. After. Some very good games from Matt Cassel. What what is that what you want Mets take away from this game this past don't listen to that today."

" Well I think every player that played in the game Steve and coached and for that matter doesn't feel good about the of their performance or the outcome of the game and I can't imagine but it feels like. What they did was. Wells was really their best and I think we all feel like we can do better and we need to do better pitcher Matt feels like that. Sure everybody feels like. We we made too many mistakes yesterday and in all three phases of the game and each player will look at those mistakes and corrections and try to you know make truly understand what we need to. How we need to get those plays right and those techniques writer whatever the case my opinion. In improving go for and I think that's. The discussion. We haven't met today and really all the other players."

" And he moved past that you've obviously got a lot of veterans in that though locker room guys that if -- through some rough times before. Who do you think they've got that mind set that they can move on and that's one game and which is of this one had him come on the up disarmed. Well I hope so glad that's that's what we normally approach it and we've been in this too mystical times this year. And hopefully people will respond positively as we have in the past he stayed out there on the -- of -- stay up if yeah weeks after the well it's only yeah I want it yes and that after the Seattle game Wednesday and down there and sent a clear and and play at -- Oakland soul will be -- that San Francisco area."

" After this. If Seattle we've watched I was too much moments you know they've they've a few that could kill a few days but took Miami right to the to the wire and if shut down that their offense pretty much and so they they have some talent that can move the ball into play -- up. Very thing that you that we haven't seen that. Poses a threat from Seattle."

" that -- I think they're very good passing game neglected skill players in the big offensive line. With their aggressive on defense will -- to do good job this good football team and but that their record is. Anywhere near indicative of talent they have that. That's my ups and downs with there there receivers and their skill position players offensively but. The -- a lot of them back Karlsson -- and seven and -- year. They can run a bullet can throw they can move they're just Annika and it was -- to go off until one."

" if you -- not winning equipment real -- dissimilar to deal obviously but. Holmgren press has been very creative on offense and have been in this they'll put points on the board what -- in the Super Bowl. And they still mad man hassle back and and what type of -- who -- rubbish credit that they."

" Result smoltz and it's spaced out -- placed on the west coast offense but they seem to be inclined to spread things a little bit more maybe and have a past. Got a very good slot receiver as a citizen what -- Ingram and tight end Carlson. Good perimeter receivers and and a good offensive line so they can. They can block and they can they can throw and catch and run there -- go to football team. And that that maybe hasn't been. Borne out statistically through the course of the year but when you watch employee you see him make big plays in --"

" What's weak schedule this week economic lines open. This. We'll probably going to Friday after practice that was it's a normal week for us through a -- of -- excited about going to London because we just made our room. We get reservations and hotels goblins that far away do you think you have some of all I don't know. Popular view that -- demolition order but I was going to be next year right I would assume we're have to be after that game. Right and I think that's yeah that's what I feel that what your guys for the might. McCann went on Thursday and as well as coaches I know I don't think Celtic I just I believe and obviously you eat eat you want to still acts you want to feel it for effort for for the league it's Seymour ever by -- from a coach's standpoint breaking up. -- routine in the middle of the season going to a foreign country cannot be changed."

" We no coach gruden along time then and we have and 21. Wallace coordinator as he was a coordinator league and competed against him that different times of the coast road course or head coaching Coopers and think we we think alike you know have similar philosophies about the game and so. All leave it and Johnson's."

" He says. That's right. Over the -- extra column this morning to always go another revealed and was wanting about playing a pre season game and in in one of those was you know -- currently is your views which -- regular season and it counts in the in the standings and that I delusional with a home -- player I always has their own you know right now it's there on the marketing although -- could -- agrees that the food about the they'll let up there on the way back when they want to play they -- going to Portland or if your number they were going to play in China two years. We're trying to do the longer they were going to -- that but that was a pre season there's I think there's a huge difference between pre season game the game that really counts you know. A sense like the long range plan for everybody to play. It's. Either at the end of doing that seventy game schedule and everybody play well I have no idea I think they'll keep playing these games. Ideas for but he the -- some points finger and -- wait for the Raiders and -- who boycotted. I said I'm -- government the lines play out through that wants it the throw some. More -- goto. How much different as we'd like Fred is right we just don't see. Margin in the Seattle he's just don't see -- you know Robert Trent hey you know what they've been they've been disappointing this year so when a team is disappointing and I -- their members and I now we're going to let the -- what did you tell him usually even less of a team like that. But they really have changed over the last few years when Alexander was do they ran the football -- lot more they were depending on that -- They they just even with -- Mike's injury or whatever they still throwing the ball. A lot more."

" Again I think that they have a good offensive scheme Holmgren. Who bases as the west coast offense and good quarterback -- good skilled receivers. Repeat it and curls and good backs. -- offensive line. They've they've had some injuries this year -- that's. It hasn't helped -- offensively but it looks like a lot of those guys are now pac man. In movable. He's been through as a runner and before. You know there with a group of you know the the middle linebacker. Hopeless as a very very active. He's -- good player. Course a good trip on spurred the average player. Their their fast. And they -- president's answer very it's very instinctive he's around the ball a lot he's art got a full -- Different but -- Zach Thomas was in Miami for years it is whatever play is on the process screen. When he -- cut decent shall run ball and to says he knows them all very instinctive and attack."

" that the and that -- you have played out there right offenders institution here I am not to -- you know that'll put up two years and while I'm -- itself two victory. Few years ago William put out there are prepared to play out there in quite some time with the violence and it's. It's a colossal there. -- Different and I definitive yes it's which beautiful but they at least adores them -- everything if you do different from the last so west coast with a genetic thing. The result of course just opened the week him in the the whole."

" Yeah that's -- I think we're just going to have to take a look at the at the field conditions and so a lot of times it's. -- out there in December or January so -- the field conditions but otherwise and thank as far as them. Daily schedule and understand San -- all I think the via. Definitely comfort level -- we've done before in -- and his few little things we can tweak that would prove that but overall it was a good it was a good trip for us."

" Don't for the long. Mexico in the Seattle so Brazil's Rio is a lot -- and you get what you get this information and that programs then. -- Was it is realtor for a through you know present -- has -- and then -- as a team as a they really all the -- he dipped into designated. At all out in the sun. Makes it hurt you said yesterday that you thought that you get an effort from here the players yesterday what -- as it. When you look at game like -- you go back and film today Israeli you can extract from that. That you feel good about."

" Like I think the players played hard I think we have. If there was some really physical plays with some great effort by. A lot of players -- just didn't play well and and a lot of it was a critical time to admit mistakes that. Pittsburgh capitalized on. So. That's. I think that's the and that was the biggest problem."

" We have you know we're a team is behind obviously played differently halftime touchdown pass dropped mr. Lugo in going tied. Instead -- up by seven. And you get the ball that whole thing -- you know that when you go on it down when it was -- no points I strive. It affection of so that sentiment that. Regardless of who had no -- but it doesn't mean it's an emotional game you know you could see the tide swing in the big play sometimes go on fourth down. Fisher need to get a team back into -- I -- it's all the site teams play well and they hit on those big plays or how much what difference does it. Make when you go wind leaving when you -- a few moments ago."

" I think that of course she'd like to you know we'd like to have gotten points out of that last drive before half we are good positioning get. Seven and three and did enough of any but. Others are always plays like that the Gainesville was opportunities that medicine. It's hard to get all of them every time but so we came back on the third quarter and took the ball and and we got a second and won their -- gets sacked on them on three man -- on second down and now it's third and ten and so. It I don't think that that momentum knocked us out of their -- we we had a good drive to start the the third quarter we just didn't finish it and I wish I had an explanation which a ball that well this one thing would take care of it that he. And breakdowns in different areas and opponents it plays call that is. Where where great plays for them the."

" And it was talked about this issue before it. Hit me again yesterday we talked about it is we're watching the game there were numerous times where if somebody made the initial tackle. Moore is stopped or whoever was running -- with the ball was stopped is tackling still an issue. -- this team it seems like week after week. Guys are getting an extra two or three yards and it's the second guy in the third guy that's picking up on him and there are a lot of missed tackles."

" I didn't think yesterday it was our best day at tackling. We had. More misses only and a few weeks months that that's oh this is unusual move this late this season because obviously that's basic fundamentals that. You'd you'd have that issue. Alia you have missed tackles and -- game that your. If you ever play without them much she'd like to. The thing about the missed tackles are when there's a lot of people around all you don't know this agreement of two or three guys miss -- and if -- the guys right there and there's no yards gained those. This really seem like much when it's an issue is where one that's going to shut down. And he misses and then the next guy is 1015 yards away in the and he -- that extra yard so. I think that personal time yesterday where -- we didn't have enough players around -- and then. Slipped a person and future for the next visit to get there probably filmed you watch that you don't see respect them watch in Chicago last night. Now that -- and again it is this the more people you have around it then that is their net less noticeable when you'll have one guy there earning this is it then."

" It's more noticeable once more. Swear -- that's fundamental to good if you personally Calvin you your office -- call them something to offset that. That's why backside guys can stay home simple little things the fundamentals almost if you guys -- days because quarterback. You know he comes and it's far it and they get the cup partners so that's why have a great plagiarism disastrous play -- guys don't play everything solving that seems to be. Of course every team one guy breaks down at the important times and when does a great job and -- to blood."

" I tell enough for our clean energy action dot net coaches question that we in this which question comes from Jonathan Clifford Jonathan asked coach what football books. -- you recommend that every aspiring coach Reid and why. And are there any non football general coaching books or -- That you would recommend that we opened with a long clubs I think by an -- did you ever read the -- But bill. Was on -- list it's yeah she -- his large large -- and it was a lot of pictures one -- who -- excitement for Steve and I can honestly we should have been doing in the off season can you should bring the book and we should have been greeted dramatically realise and then do like a a book review -- bland diet book. A couple of Klecko and too bad everywhere you. Well we -- and we don't you get this extensive collection had this in your dad and his extensive collections wells and books you I'm sure there few that you could. Probably recommend."

" Well I think one of the one of the best books for coaching is. Is. Bill Walsh's book on building championship. Football team and he he really talks about the not just coaching. Building an organization and its scouting and draft saying it assistant coaches and all different. His players and all that so you wrote two books and I think both of those very good. -- George Allen wrote a book on -- football drills all of this is you know drills practice drills. Different different things. Teach blocking and tackling and pass coverage. Kicking game -- also for them in it's probably 25300. Drills so. That's very comprehensive book to. You know I thought that. -- book like. Suns lose your wars is an interest in books on opposite about football but it's about. Training and preparation and then and look at that what. You know what I you want to fight -- I don't want to fight it in Ireland and I think there are some principles that have some application the football there as it prepares to. In regards to our preparations and decision making in leadership then and things like that fifty --"

" People shy away from trying to. But those two in the same sentence -- politically correct put them away from the things that we don't know about war war what our strategies yet. I would think the mental approach. Is probably quite simple. -- I think there are some principles that that applies it is you know gone out and play football game. In grade -- battle owns. And -- winters are horrible borders hopefuls philosophy to -- has some old reaching. Philosophies of how you prepare for certain things to."

" Right right yeah how are you wanted to offend you want to attack and I won. You know -- your troops. Whether it and timing in and things like that in and so it I think there's an application in general. Philosophical terms just exactly Wednesday -- that's list saw. As a non football book I thought that it was it was very interesting one to read and and the principles. There there are a lot of good pretzels they make you think about okay you know it's different at this point relates to football."

" Note the revelation Portugal or us more applicable because they're heavily down my leg and -- dollar makes -- via the darling book and a business courses too. You know vote or podium now -- you'd take -- there's absolutely rightly. To read up on the or towards. All strategy goes -- or football game or chess game remembered by the way drills in your book until remembered -- I thought okay I'm pretty well particularly. When you draw under wins under through Thursday night's 44 game threes like that because when you have two more serious question."

" One that was on Saturday afternoon late us on Nick Saban smile like a nurse -- while before they would probably your receipt now and through. And honestly if you -- chairman of the NCAA. How the hell would you resolve this whole ridiculous BCS garbage and and get a playoffs just ago -- it's it's absurd this year out of difficult going to be. As well as the cornerstone. Well yeah that that really is Nixon very personable god he's funny he's got a great sense of humor and he's he's he's great gotta be around it's great football coach but he's. He's. That was what worked with a for four years at Cleveland on notable long time. Probably for 25 years. He's. You know he's he's he's relive a pleasant guy. At at the right time and very funny guys -- real smart --"

" I don't know. All the ins and outs about college football but BCS but -- and it seems to me if you had eight teams."

" I'm sure there be some teams that wished that think they should be in a top they've got left out but. I think you know you can get that pop they'd eat you at least include. Most of the good teams in the and close to -- is that I'm sure that somebody would say well you know we should have -- Because it's Erlich and the National Football League. The team that wins the Super Bowl isn't necessarily the team that's. The best team it it's a team that's the best team at the end of the year plan their plan the other best teams win in the playoffs and and that's the team that's champion. And that's sure that that's -- and -- about college it's hard as you know you'd get a team. On those happened. How state with the last year two years ago whatever was. -- play game and middle November and then the next game is seven weeks later in January animal that and that's always been like that couple games and it I don't know that reflects. You know how good -- team is when you -- long lay off. You know is is that really the same team that was planned back in the middle of November when they weren't you know quote mid season form so. I think by having a playoff system you would probably get the highest quality football stadium a week offer you know before the playoffs started December whatever but. For you. At three games then and and you know and I think the teams that were playing the best at that point a year even may be startled but slower they lost a game at the beginning of the year whatever. That that might be the best -- in --"

" could be replaced by a branch of the of that. That playoff system and you know there isn't it falls. The -- it and more probably my money for more what to bottom can look -- it wouldn't hurt us to a bowl game story wouldn't you know visually you look at you look at the other sports look at. Basketball. Ross and these are. Yet baseball World Series division to football that is three for what they'll they'll they'll have those and they're very excited you know great events they -- they'd. Not just champion got a whole what do you do I mean this hour -- I mean -- in the SEC title game for Alabama went -- points in overtime reported Jeremy Hart how do you. Not reward one of those teams I mean Oklahoma on the wondering if we drop the audio. That Alabama was my point Javier. The probably drop the like -- or -- this what you really are amassed where you have got to come we have a lot of schools it is saying yeah. We got -- well we've had a couple times for at three teams for two spots. You know when you're -- and get. Sitting at the bit right bit -- and."

" So -- killer is when you both get one loss and head to head you beat another team and you -- lose out that's you know national governor Oklahoma's only one relevant name -- this whole thing and that's a championship is no one else -- about right into the game as a matter of the Bulls just like. You know eating ice with those memories of that is nothing to own one game the championship -- skewed as I have one more question before periodic received a variety of speech has brought this up to about. -- and there is that perception about -- we don't know you obviously know but there's also that perception out there about you. And we see a totally different you know and especially in the offseason where you. Totally it is their coach's face that you put on that you have to put on during the course of the season to be able to absorb yourself. In today job that biographers that. One and it's outlawed block out feel -- at the -- I have to applaud them. If you're going to be able to focus yourself and get that job done because there are so many distractions and you know like us you know we can be Austrians who except that he's definitely. Play Davis who poses you."

" If it's tough question -- I think. Certainly on game day use your focuses on on the game that's really not much time to. Smile for the game and yeah. You know if you bad successful and that's one thing -- on on its its competition and we've all seen. Gainesville collectors go one -- other ways so till finals closer. To you know games in hand. In Pittsburgh really. That's -- And so on throughout coach and a regular during offseason and that's a whole different story that's. Certainly does much under the gutters and important things in the offseason. I'm not saying that but it's not. It's not anywhere near its intensity is the regulars. Questions about you know what I'm ready to beat Pete brought up the perception that everybody has. About -- which I think is is accurate and yet you're seeing a totally. Different side of -- and -- RFC next intense side to don't go -- wrong and on the field and in games in meetings all that nexus and chances as any coach that that around but at same time he's great recruiter. He's very personable with with kids with parents with. In any kind of mixed company. On the out scenic in in. So many different situations things. He's an intelligent witty he's a great guy but. He kept him on game day or infection in the middle an intense situation -- focused on the Latin and and rightfully so."

" Osborne of trying to remember I think it's almost foreign coaches meant qualities. In. My coach you know we will talk to you next apparently is by phone I don't know -- on to next Monday leaguers coming out there or Iowa or Australia you know TP PI is I wouldn't I wouldn't sit there and wait for -- out there -- I would click -- there's about you -- largely smoked cigars back to leave me go to.
