Play from 0:02[0:02]" he is -- I what -- you all you give -- a situation. And and you're going to have season where you lose some some key players and you know we've had some guys that -- and play well and and you know obviously -- just sucker stepped in there and played Wellman pulled my hamstring so that probably. You know -- wasn't great timing about a you know you you're going to mess. They impact plays with a guy like Herman -- makes -- that's that's part of this religion and part of you know going through a sixteen -- season."

Play from 0:40[0:40]" It's got a particular the typically here you're Pat The -- that. You really get it in Latin we humid but it talented secondary I out you're playing that."

Play from 0:49[0:49]" Well we've had we have had some changes we've we've plugged in a problem of guys and you know we played the first two games this season we've played 22 quarterbacks that were extremely hot. And and played at a real high level I think. Since those two games we've we've played better and and hopefully we are improving in the sector."

Play from 1:10[1:10]" What do you what do you mean at about seen it and I know he's been hampered by bad now it is that maybe they re Pittsburgh is and back to being down on the par."

Play from 1:23[1:23]" Well the -- the biggest thing is you know well there was -- had had a good game against Carolina and obviously Carolina. As people look at them now I mean and we've won I don't know people in the group. A lot about them you look at him now and obviously the planet and pretty high level and and -- one. They're good run defense without he had sending him in 96 yards -- probably point to point three carries. Had some has some physical runs had some slashing runs and looked. Awfully good unfortunate in the fourth quarter of that game he he. -- stole originally converts and -- turf -- you want to call it it's pitched Coleman and -- or not gotten better and I think. You know he's. He's getting close he's getting back there's the issue is froze. Is it him to get enough plays to move the ball while not convert enough third downs -- We can get him his 20/20 five carries we did at the raider game and got a hundred yards and I think in the games started getting and a little bit of grove and and that's the biggest thing the culmination of get them penalty gave them a 100% and then. You know give ourselves. Where were playing at a level where we can get enough problems. And it. Well in all you look at men and most forget the same guys -- we've played the last few times we've played them and you know there's there's going to be an adjustment yesterday about -- there's going to be adjustment when you when you lose. Tom Brady's. Stature visibility and in this leadership and you know all the things he's accomplished but. I think you see improvement. You know I've changed offense and they over the last. Four weeks and obviously it was kind of a coming out game against San Cisco and you know map there's looks like he's getting real feel for one person to do --"

Play from 3:19[3:19]" The -- got through Koppen had been -- you wanted but they repeat things happen out here you got that AFC championship game is that. If you got attempting to draw I'm not here in the."

Play from 3:29[3:29]" Well they -- go ever you know where there was a lot of noon start T and so I think there was several things can be certain -- figure out. What the problem was you know I think this year. You know listen says you know we lost two games or even near him on the final play of the game. You know so I think our guys know why we're in this situation. We know we haven't challenging schedule it was. But the fact did you know I think that we did it last year -- effective that these guys have had a lot of success and have. -- situations where they. -- role in one or number games in general. You know that's what obviously we're going to have to do it was -- we're going to come out of this is -- first for the have to win a game and then you have to. You know giving get on a little bit Rolen and one number games tomorrow."
