YOU ARE IN THE NEST HERE
INSIDE THE IN CANTON WITH STEVE
SMITH SENIOR SHOW, THE GREAT
HALL OF FAMER, SOON TO BE WITH
WITH US HERE TODAY ON THIS, WE
RECORD EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND PLAY IT BACK ON SUNDAY
MORNINGS AT 11:30.
LETS GET THE TOUGH QUESTIONS
OUT OF THE WAY.
DON'T EVEN LOOK AT ME.
LETS TALK ABOUT MONDAY NIGHT.
WHO WERE YOU YELLING AT IN THE
FOURTH QUARTER?
RVEGHTS WHO ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT?
YOU.
WHO WERE YOU YELLING AT?
OH, THEY CAUGHT THAT.
WE'RE IN TROUBLE FOR THAT
ONE.
WHO WERE YOU YELLING AT?
ANYBODY THAT WOULD LISTEN?
YEAH.
NOBODY LISTENS.
OLD CRAZY GUYS YOU KNOW.
EVERYBODY OUT HERE, WATCHING
THE GAME, TWO MINUTES LEFT IN
THE GAME, URGENCY.
AS A FAN, AM I RIGHT?
COME ON, LETS GET UP TO THE
LINE, LETS GO, LETS GO.
ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING AS
FANS?
YOU'RE ALWAYS MISSING
SOMETHING, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE A
FAN
.
WHAT ARE WE MISSING?
YOU HAVE THE PLAY COMING IN,
YOU HAVE THE DEFENSE.
IT'S A LOUD STADIUM SO
EVERYBODY HAS TO GET IN TIGHT
SO YOU CAN BE ABLE TO HIT OR
PLAY FOR THE TWO MEN TOUGH ECHO
IS OUT, SO A LOT GOES ON.
YES, I THINK OUR PROCESS OR
PROCEDURE NEEDS TO BE QUICKER
AND WE'RE USUALLY ABOUT 20
SECONDS WE WERE 31 SECONDS SO
THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF PLAYING
TO THE CROWD.
THE CROWD DID A GOOD JOB WHEN
YOU'RE LOSING THAT HOME CROWD
IS LOUD.
IT'S REALLY LIKE A PLAYOFF
ATMOSPHERE.
YOU KNOW, JUST CALL IT WHAT IT
IS, WE DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD
JOB.
OKAY.
WHAT DID BELICHICK DO EIGHT IN
THE BOX?
NO THEY PLAYED, NO THEY PUT
EIGHT IN THE BOX.
EIGHT IN THE COVER.
THEY DROPPED OUT OF THE BOX
A LOT. ♪♪
YES.
THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID A
EXCEPTIONAL JOB.
THEY DIDN'T PLAY A LOT LIKE
THEY WERE PLAYING PREVIOUS
TEAMS SO IT HAPPENS.
IT HAPPENS.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S THE BEST I GOT.
THAT'S THE BEST YOU GOT.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.
AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE 16-3
YOU NEVER GIVE UP AS A PLAYER.
YOU CAN'T.
I MEAN, SOME GUYS, I MEAN WE'RE
HUMAN BEINGS, BUT NO, YOU
CAN'T, YOU SHOULDN'T.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW WE'VE GOT THREE.
WE'VE GOT TO WIN THREE IN A
ROW.
IF WE WIN THREE IN A ROW, WE
WIN THE NORTH AND WE GET A HOME
PLAYOFF GAME.
I THINK WE GO 2 AND 1.
DON'T PUT A LOSS IN THERE.
I WAS ASKING.
WE GOT PHILADELPHIA.
HOW QUICKLY DID HARBAUGH GET
OVER THE NEW ENGLAND GAME AND
GET YOUR MINDSET ON
PHILADELPHIA.
WE WERE OFF YESTERDAY WHICH
WAS TUESDAY.
WE'RE RECORDING WEDNESDAY AND
BACK ON SUNDAY AND THEN WE HAD
A LATE PRACTICE TODAY IS
WEDNESDAY BUT WE PLAY BACK ON
SUNDAY.
SO, WE JUST GOT EVERYTHING WAS
PUSHED BACK SO WE TALKED ABOUT
IT FOR A GOOD FIVE OR SIX
MINUTES AND THEN WE MOVED ON TO
THE GAME PLAN, SO WE WERE IN
FIRST AND SECOND DOWN AND
TOMORROW WILL BE THURSDAY WHICH
WE PLAY BACK SUNDAY SO IT WILL
BE A THIRD DOWN IN THE FRINGE
AREA.
THIRD DOWN IN THE FRINGE
AREA.
AND FRIDAY WILL BE RED ZONE.
SO FRINGE IS KIND OF IN THE 30.
PLAYING PHILADELPHIA, THERE
IS NO LOOKING AHEAD.
ONE GAME.
YOU KNOW THERE'S NO LOOKING
AHEAD.
NO.
HOW DO YOU STAY FOCUSED ON
THE GAME, JUST THE GAME COMING
UP ON SUNDAY?
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T WIN,
IT'S NOT GOOD.
WE HAVE TO PLAY WELL.
YOU CAN'T THINK ABOUT CHRISTMAS
WHEN IT'S RIGHT HERE.
EVERYBODY REALIZES THAT.
NOBODY IS LOOKING AHEAD.
I MEAN WE SHOULDN'T BE.
SHOULD NOT BE, BUT.
ALL RIGHT.
AGAINST PHILADELPHIA, WHAT DO
YOU EXPECT FROM PHILLY?
I WOULD EXPECT ZONE
COVERAGE.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD EXPECT.
HOW DO YOU PLAY SO WELL
OFFENSIVELY AGAINST MIAMI AND
COME OUTLOOKING THE WAY YOU DID
AGAINST NEW ENGLAND?
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN WEEK TO
WEEK?
MIAMI.
YEAH.
OKAY, WE FIGURED THAT OUT.
TOP AND BOTTOM SHELF OF THE
DIVISION, THAT'S HOW.
EXPLAIN TO THE FANS, WERE
THERE ANY ADJUSTMENTS GOING ON
AGAINST NEW ENGLAND, THE
DEFENSE?
I MEAN YOU GO DOWN THERE THE
FIRST TIME, YOU SEE WHAT
THEY'RE DOING THE FIRST SERIES.
THE SECOND, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO PULL OUT IN THE SECOND HALF?
SECOND HALF, YOU'VE GOT TO
THROW OUT EVERYTHING YOU HAD IN
THE FIRST HALF BECAUSE NONE OF
THAT STUFF WORKED.
SO YOU JUST GOT TO START OVER.
IT'S ALMOST THE SAME WAY IF
YOU'RE WINNING.
YOU HAVE TO START OVER.
OBVIOUSLY THE MENTALITY IS
DIFFERENT.
YOU HAVE TO START OVER AND MAKE
PLAYS.
YOU CAN'T STRESS THE DEFENSE AS
MUCH AS WE DID.
WHEN TUCKER'S FIELD GOAL WAS
BLOCKED, WHAT DID YOU THINK?
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
AND THEN I SAW THE GUY JUMP
OVER.
THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD SCHEME
BECAUSE THAT GUY ON THE
SCOUTING REPORT WAS A GYM GUY,
WASN'T VERY ATHLETIC.
LOOKED PRETTY AGHTD LETTIC TO
ME.
EXPLAIN TO US, THAT IS
PRACTICE DURING THE WEEK TO DO
THAT.
YOU HAVE TO TIME IT OUT.
YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE THAT.
YOU CAN'T JUST ROLL OUT OF BED.
I WOULD BET A GAME CHECK RIGHT
NOW YOU COULDN'T DO IT.
I COULDN'T DO IT.
I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THIS CARE
RIGHT NOW IF YOU TOLD ME.
YOU COULD GET OUT OF IT BUT
YOU COULDN'T HOP OVER IT.
AND NOT TOUCH ANYBODY.
HOP OVER, BALANCE, STICK THE
LAND ING AND BLOCK IT.
AND TAKE IT BELOW THE BELT.
THAT'S DIFFICULT.
MR. GANGSTER RAPPER, LOOK AT
THAT SHIRT.
THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S NICE.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A UGLY
SHIRT BUT, UGLY SWEATER BUT
NOTHING I WEAR IS UGLY.
I THINK IT'S PRETTY GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
GANGSTER RAPPER, WE'LL BE BACK
WITH MR. RAPPER HERE.
STEVE SMITH SENIOR INSIDE THE
NEST.
