An obvious unhappy Greg Schiano took to the podium minutes after the Buccaneers 35-28 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Below is complete transcript from the press conference Sunday afternoon.
Last play, do you guys think he got pushed out of bounds?
“It’s on the other side you know, I really can’t see it. If it was (then it is) illegal touching.”

You could not tell?
“No there is 22 guys between me and the play, I couldn’t see it.”

Can you talk about Blount being the goal line back and what was the thoughts behind running it three times?
“Whether he is or he isn’t certainly we think he is because you know that’s why he is in there at the time. We are doing everything we can to score. You have to constantly evaluate that stuff through our evaluation that was what we believed. I’d have to take a look at it. I can’t tell you why those plays didn’t work down there but that was certainly a big part of the game.”

What doe this game come down it? Does this game come down to those missed opportunities on offense or the fact that your defense couldn’t stop them enough?
“All I think as it always does, it’s a team game. You make one stop or you put the ball in. Look if we score there and kick the PAT, it’s still a tie game someone has got to win. We are still playing football so there are no guarantee you win. We did some really good things and we made enough mistakes today to. We made more mistakes today on “d”, I won’t exaggerate and say combined all year but, certainly the most of any game. We got to do a better job coaching it; we got to do a better job playing it. Unfortunately the combination of those things, missed opportunities. My hats off to New Orleans they found a way to win.”

What were those mistakes on defense?
“Some coverage mistakes, some pass rush things. We weren’t as precise as we needed to be. Again hats off to New Orleans they did some things that stress you a little bit defensively and we didn’t handle it as well as I anticipated. Comes back to coaching, you have to have them ready to do those things. I have to as a head coach I have to get our guys ready to adjust to that more quickly, better, however you want to say it.”

In the first half on third down it seems like you guys rushed three guys a lot:
“It’s a mix. When you have a guy like Drew Brees you have to mix it up. The one thing you can’t do is give him ‘a look’ because he will just pick you apart, and he may pick you apart anyway but he will definitely do it if you have one look.”

They lined up for the field goal and your team got the unsportsmanlike penalty?
“They called unsportsmanlike conduct and you know I’m never going to get into the officiating other than I believe that I know that rule. I will leave it at that.

Did they say you did an illegal shift?
“It was unsportsmanlike conduct is what they called.”

Doug Martin came out of them game it looked like he had some kind of a leg injury is that why he wasn’t in that series of plays down by the one?
“Well again I’m not going to get into who we are going to play and who we are not, but Doug is going to be okay I believe.”

What was your feeling about the last play, and how the game ended?
“Well I was very excited that we scored. Obviously we are going for one and I’m thinking about overtime and whose going to go do the coin toss and how we are going to go and all that. That quickly left my mind when I saw the one official with his hat off. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what that equals.”

Did you have an opportunity to talk to Mike and ask if he got pushed out?
“It really doesn’t matter. What’s called is called, you live with it. There is nothing you can do about it. So whether he did or didn’t we will see it on tape. That’s life.”

Is that the receiver’s job to fight to stay in?
“I don’t know what happened. If someone shoves you out of bounds then fight to stay on well that guys shoving you. I didn’t see what happened. Certainly if you just run out of bounds without anyone forcing you than no doubt. It’s a competitive environment there pushing and shoving I’m sure. I can’t tell you because I didn’t see it but I saw the catch.”

You said earlier you felt confident that your offense could pace with the Saints in a shootout:
“I am really pleased. Our quarterback had tremendous output and production. Again missed opportunities both defensively, offensively, and even in the kicking game. If you make one of those plays who knows. Again we are sitting here 2-4 now and we are saying this old song and dance that’s the way it is until we find a way to change it. Close but no cigar we got to get it better.”
