Thursday Press Conference.

Teddy:

Loses sleep over second half play.

Teddy is dressed like a ref in press conferance. Why? Teddy blows the whistle on that question. Shirt has nothing to do with refs.

Sees Brady becoming a head coach in the future. Rhule grooms staff to move up. Brady want to be on the field during game, wants to talk to Teddy next to him. Walks around talking to all the offensive players.

It wasn't good early on because players were getting up off the ground alone. Now guys care more and help each other up.

Went to Olive Garden for his birthday. Had bread and salad and cranberry juice. He is tight with money, eats cheap. Wonder how he tips?

Wants more minority coaches.

Won't speak for Tom Brady coming off bad performance. Threw a flag on that question.

Random press guy says "I'm throwing a flag on the Olive Garden!" Dude hates Olive Garden.

 

Rhule:

Burns injured his groin yesterday at practice. Expected to play.

Burns reminds him somewhat of Dwight Freeney. Spin move is lethal.

On Bucs. We had CMC and KK last time. Wants to measure improvement from week to week. Better than we were week 2. Play poorly last time. We're a different team than last time.

Wants Brady to chase his dreams and have unreal success. Attention is on the here and now. Wants coaches to be honest about opportunities to coach elsewhere.

Not going to copy what the Saints did against the Bucs. Don't copy others. It's not the scheme it's how well you execute it.

Can't win with pre-snap penalties, lining up wrong, and jumping off sides a lot. Stop jumping off sides. Focus. Execute and don't try to do too much.

Doesn't think about things outside his control like late bye week.

Bucs are really good and loaded with weapons. Never had so many weapons. Play man and bring pressure. Nothing is easy. The blitzing in run and pass can make you rush and make negative plays. Don't rush just because they are pressuring you. Line needs to play well and protect.

Best game was against the Cards.

 

Samuel:

Played RB more than anything over his football career.

Bucs pressure the QB and it makes their back end look better.

Been a RB since he was little kid. He knows when the holes will open up. He can read the 1st and second level and he knows the best angles.

He likes playing WR better than RB. Likes to line up all over the field.

 

DJ:

We have play makers all over the field. Spread the ball around. Not worried about a slump.

Keeps getting accused of having a slump. Says he's not in a slump.

Not that hard to switch to RB, he has doesn't it before. but it is a different world.

Doesn't want to tip their hand on what they have been working on improving for the Bucs game.

Knows Teddy wants to be the franchise QB here.

    • Rod has absolutely been my favorite coach of all time, but its not working in the playoffs.  Its just not.  Hindsight, we should have went with the goalie rotation we did the regular season.  It was working.  Freddie is coincidently getting worse in the playoffs.  You see the correlation there.    However, missing Pesce and Fast is not helping.  Benching Noesen in Ot last night when net from goals was working is mind numbing.  Rod needs to be held accountable.     We also need our shutdown line back.  I know fast is out but Staal Maartnook and "insert" need to play.  But like you said, nothing matters if your special teams are poo.  and boy are they poo.  7 power play goals allowed in 6 games is how bad the PK was to start the year.  Yall remeber how awful we were to start the year.  Power play is atroicus.  Its 0-11 is insane how bad that it is.  You cant and wont win against the presidents club winner playing like that.  Lastly, goalie play is average to bad.  You arent going to win allowing 8 goals in 2 games.  We need our goalies to make saves.   Discipline.  We don't have it.  We know the Rags are going to flop.  We know the refs are going to fug us.  Its what it is.  How do you fix it?  Mindful of your stick.  Forecheck...hit it and see it.  Dont give them the chance to flop or call penalties.     Rod needs to be held accountable.  Its not working.  Playoff Rod is playoff rod for a reason.  not because we made it up.     Lastly, no its not over.  These are correctable things.  We could easily win the next two at home and boom, GAME ON!  But for that to happen, Discipline, PK, PP, and goalie must be better. Its alot more than just winning 5v5.  They all tie together.  If I had to pick 1 to be good.  PK.  Stopping that like we did all year, would solve most problems.  
    • With what they paid him i'd be fine riding the bench if I were him
    • Funny enough over the years I can say Pittbulls have been the best family dogs i've had out of all the breeds i've had but I know with their reputations people don't see them as family dogs
