PITTSBURGH -- Theres no such thing as an individual meeting with Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak.When Munchak turns on the video during film sessions, he speaks to the entire group even as he breaks down the weekly assignments of a specific position. When theres a drill or a fundamental to work on with one player, everyone else stops and pays attention.Sure, it helps that Munchak also happens to have a Hall of Fame ring at home following 12 years of dominance at guard for the Houston Oilers. Yet theres more to it. Munchak wants to make sure his players understand their respective jobs -- and everyone elses -- on a given snap. You never know when circumstances are going to change, like say on Sunday when Chris Hubbard will make his first career start at right tackle as the Steelers (3-1) host the New York Jets (1-3).Its a spot Hubbard hasnt played in a game that mattered since the Steelers signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2013. Yet he feels prepared. At least, as prepared as he can be.Its just about getting the rhythm back down, said Hubbard, who will get the first crack at filling in while Marcus Gilbert recuperates from a left ankle injury. Just listen to coach Munch and try to get the footwork right.It helps that Hubbard will have four other coaches in the huddle with him, part of Munchaks goal to create an atmosphere of complete transparency.The whole group is accountable, left tackle Alejandro Villanueva said. When the game starts, the coach is not on the field and his coaching is held accountable by our play, so we try our best to help each other. If I fail that block, then (Maurkice) Pouncey or Ramon (Foster) is going to tell me that because they know what my responsibilities are.When things are going well during a game, the group can almost feel like its on auto pilot. Theres very little chatter on the sideline.I try to make as many decisions as I can for them so when Sunday comes, theyre playing fast and they have one thing to think about, Munchak said. They have one adjustment, if that, not three. Ive already told them how to block you, so there are no other options.Even when the Steelers are forced to explore there. Hubbards start comes two weeks after guard B.J. Finney made his NFL debut when Foster exited a loss to the Eagles with a bruised sternum. Foster spent the rest of the game getting in Finneys ear every chance he got.He might have been coaching Finney more than I was, Munchak said with a laugh.Now its Hubbards turn. He spent 2013 on the practice squad and has made a few spot appearances over the last two seasons, but nothing like what awaits against one of the NFLs best defensive lines. His excitement at the opportunity is palpable, a wide grin spreading across his face when talking about trying to help keep one of the leagues top offenses humming.Its been a long time coming, he said. Im thankful for it. Im here for the same reason everybody else is here: to help us win.While Foster should play against the Jets, the Steelers could be awfully thin Sunday. Veteran tackle Ryan Harris, signed away from Denver in the offseason, missed practice on Thursday, and versatile Cody Wallace remains out with a knee issue thats plagued him all season.That leaves Finney as the only other healthy body available, not including Matt Feiler on the practice squad. If somebody else goes down on Sunday, things could get interesting. Pouncey spent some time at right tackle during practice this week, with Finney filling in at center should the need arise.Weve got to be prepared for every scenario, offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. Youll see us do a lot of different things (in practice), but its just to be prepared so were not on a panic on a Sunday, hopefully.Game notes CB Justin Gilbert (knee) and LB Ryan Shazier (knee) did not practice. ...

The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal. Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman.MONTREAL -- Matteo Ferrari went from being the first-half goat to the extra-time hero for the Montreal Impact. After accidentally scoring into his own net only seven minutes in, the veteran defender got it back with a goal off a corner kick in added time on Saturday as the Impact pulled out an unlikely 3-2 MLS victory over Real Salt Lake. "Actually, today I scored twice," the 33-year-old former Italy defender said with a laugh. "Its my doppietta (brace), as we say in Italian. "After the own goal, I had a good answer at the end. Im happy for the team because we showed the character we have." The goal completed a second half comeback after Salt Lake captain Kyle Beckerman put the visitors ahead 2-1 in the 77th minute. Only three minutes later, rookie Maxim Tissot started the play that saw Andrew Wenger tip a pass to Marco Di Vaio to tie the game. With time almost expired, rookie Blake Smith got the ball to Ferrari off a corner kick and the central defender put a sliding shot low past Nick Rimando, as the 14,578 in the Saputo Stadium stands on a chilly afternoon went wild. "You could see in the second half he wanted to erase the black mark of the own goal," said coach Marco Schallibaum. "There was a lot of determination there, but thats what I like about this team." The victory kept Montreal (6-2-2) in the race for top spot in the Eastern Conference. Salt Lake (5-5-2), ended a two-game winning run, but not for want of chances to win. The visitors forward duo of Devon Sandoval and Olmes Garcia gave the Montreal defence fits all afternoon with their height and speed. Besides scoring twice, Salt Lake kept goalie Troy Perkins busy with 21 shots, including seven on target. Perkins had to reach out a hand to stop a glittering chance from Garcia 15 minutes in that could have given Salt Lake a two-goal lead. And he stoned substitute Joao Plata when the former Toronto FC midfielder was in alone in the 86th. "I still feel a lot of positive things about how Real Salt Lake approached this match and played this match," said coach Jason Kreis. "We were aggressive all match. "I think it was a pretty well-played match. We just have to look at how we finished, because if we had walked out with even one point, I think wed have felt pretty good about ourselves." Midfielder Felipe Martins scored in the first half for Montreal. The visitors pressured the Montreal defence early and it produced an own goal as Lovel Palmers pass into the middle was tipped in by Ferrari, normally the Impacts most reliable defender.dddddddddddd Montreal got it back in the 39th as Jeb Brovsky sent Justin Mapp down the right flank and his low cross was put in by the sliding Felipe. Beckerman put Salt Lake ahead as he jumped on a loose ball after a corner kick and scored, only to see Di Vaio tie it up with his sixth of the season. Then Ferrari came up with his first MLS goal. "It was a big goal," said his fellow-Italian Di Vaio. "Its not easy for a defender to score, especially at the end of a game when youre tired. "It was a big win for the team." It was also a big day for Tissot, the Impact Academy graduate who picked up an assist in his first MLS start. He threw the ball in to Smith, who fed it back and then blocked out a defender so Tissot could rush toward the penalty area to feed Wenger for the tip to Di Vaio. "Most importantly, we got the win, but personally, it was a boost of confidence and its going to help me for the upcoming games," said Tissot, of Gatineau, Que. The victory kept the Impact unbeaten at home this season at 4-0-1, while Salt Lake dropped to 3-3-1 away. "Now weve officially established this place as a fortress," said Brovsky, the only Impact player besides Perkins to have played every minute of every Impact match in MLS this season. The Impact remain at home to face the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of their Amway Canadian Championship series on Wednesday. Then they get a much-needed week off before playing host to Philadelphia on May 25. Salt Lake played the second of three straight road games. They play next week at Chivas USA. Salt Lake has never won in 10 MLS games in Canada. They have played six times in Toronto and three in Vancouver. It was their first visit to Montreal. Notes: Tissot replaced Dennis Iapichino at left back. . . Sanna Nyassi came on in the 87th minute for his 100th MLS game. . . Midfielders Davy Arnaud (concussion) and Andrea Pisanu (right quad strain) forward Daniele Paponi (right hamstring), and defenders Alessandro Nesta (right quad) and Nelson Rivas (left knee) remain sidelined. . . Salt Lake sent defender Nat Borchers home with a flu on Wednesday, which brought Kwame Watson-Siriboe back in the lineup. ' ' '
