Bill Belichick

But it's time for our most. Action account. The -- is out here Rio Tinto has not been a picture of what was that the nineteenth -- wanted. Nine. You and it's a picture of him in the Bill Belichick and ended up the wrong coach -- this but he did yesterday that it has extra he says those. It was compliment me. Died. With him no that's notice it up tell him build a defense that -- don't look real real lesson to be intent builders bulletin today. Created an old old old dole Republican of expression and if licenses it sure wasn't irreparable -- about you know raid or. I'm doing okay and by way that distributes the load them. It would that we don't look pretty good that they would open the Arctic without still viable development. Experience and shut up. Our whole episode -- it's -- coach Bill Belichick resented by Verizon. Gridiron challenged during the gridiron challenged by visiting patriots dot counts like rise of the XP. For a chance to win we'd be right doing the right. It. -- And so we the only do America of his own mind. I heard you talk about -- in the press conference yesterday you were talking about Wednesday he had. You can -- a good feeling that the guys came and focus based on what transpired over the weekend. The fact that the jets being on the schedule and what happened earlier in the year against the jets at that that their attention very very quickly. That helped anyway.

Always -- I don't think you -- you know liberal competitive group of guys and I think that they. There are respond to challenges pretty good daytime TV to the first time you. You -- even that up so but you know that being -- I think you know we have pretty professional group of guys that come and work hard every week you know not just the -- week so. But there are ready to -- and we had good meetings -- had good practices and and good practice on Wednesday got a softer could start the bigger we preparation I think that showed up the way we started the game and and quickly we are able to make some adjustments -- the players were ago. You know them balanced line and the shift and then and the bullets and then all of those things around and early in the game -- I think the players are ready to go in and that's president.

Ryan said in his press congress that the amount of sprint -- to a kind of surprised below literally Expos and Bob Brady. Did you think that was a surprise league guys run so much for office of five wise of him Sharpton exit earlier on that he didn't think who's gonna go to reflect subjective. You know we we fell over trying to mix it up.

Fred -- know what you know exactly what he was expectant but you know we just try to mix it up we have some too tight ends and some. Three wide receivers and just couple snaps a four letter -- not too many and and I then couple three tightening groups don't Markel war in there and then. And then and Chris or one or the other end and of war so we you know we just try to mix it up and came off balance and and -- you know limited their substitutions a little bit you know they didn't -- guys on -- with -- Kind of wait -- third down to send in their time groups of I think it kind of settle down a little bit for us.

The you talk to appalled good week of practice and guys probably came in on on Wednesday and were prepared. Did you know that on Wednesday there was that in retrospect looking you know Winston -- parts going on these guys were focused and into.

No we talked about some of the coaches and and we talked about as a staff once we want to practice film that it was. You know that would Fella who got a lot done that day you know you know -- is -- as a better than others and that not all great and all bad. Hopefully. Consultant. Yet you know the systolic it was a good one and it's in like the players were -- very Tenet then and and we worked hard in practice so. You know whatever frustrations. We have from from. The game seem to be. -- directed toward the next opponent rather than you know. Now we were we were about some of the army guys on the within just in which he has some younger guys -- how quickly they were able to rebound as well. On -- I don't know. No worries the right -- to say -- each week you know week well each week you kind of you know you wanna see -- team is in terms -- for game and you see that by. The attendance and meetings and sometimes the questions I ask in the walk throughs. And then the actual executions in practice and against combination of things it's not just them it's also the the coaching staff in the game plan what we're asking the players to do and how. Quickly and and how effectively they do it or or don't do it and then you kind of highway that gone through -- week -- to say. The thought that we got to -- horrific it was one or better weeks of practice and -- that that. -- showed in the first half overall.

facility. Experts. Thought that you might lose the defense because you made a move on fourth and join him that before that would reduce respected defense and were you surprised at how attentive and that was probably the best for a staff football atmosphere -- pretty good. Team your kept them at twelve yards passing wasn't nine spastic. In a lot of people thought that this game might be a rough -- as you know who lost you might lose the defense could ever think that would it was a case at all.

It not I was just you know concerned about it Archie rated play against the jets and felt like that our players. Would prepare well and and they did so you know like a sense of its big games division game and we've lost tumor earlier in the year and I don't think anybody is happy about that I think we all felt like. We should be him and we needed all -- car into her apartment and and it and it didn't -- the first time so that was something we don't want but don't.

we watch Sanchez early in the season. And he made a lot of mistakes but it wasn't made to pay phone disguised drop in deceptions or something happened that didn't grow up. Not learning his lesson early shoes have gotten a little bit into a run of making forced roles like the one Colombians oldest -- Is that product Vista but lack of development because he didn't give broke early kept those habits because it just seems to make some really. Bad timing mistake.

You know -- I mean that's a really good question not. I think he just hadn't been aggressive player and I don't know. Of course no quarterback wants throw interceptions and at least trying to throw home but you know some quarterbacks are aggressive and trying to make plays. And sometimes than they -- place and and sometimes they you know they get burnt by it and it just seems like. You know Sanchez and watch him at USC in and then watching them. You know in the canyons this year in the pre season that the that he's aggressive you know he likes to -- he likes to throw the ball he doesn't like to take -- it doesn't like you know get it behind alliance permits an annual scramble around and he'll. It's -- guys downfield and killed in O'Neal's habit and -- and sometimes he hits and sometimes. He doesn't but he he seems like that has that kind of playing style known whether that. Our whole change in weather that look at tempered down more or not you know remains to be seen but I think he's play like that'll a year and again it and at times that's it's worked out and confident.

Though you guys have a lot of dominant starts in the course of of this season's dominant. First pass and yet. Three of the last five games you guys have lost leads at halftime and lost the game. And it hasn't happened like five years 66 of 67 games you guys have -- new guys would go and win the game. Are you satisfied with the sixty minutes of football is something happening after you guys generate this big -- can you put your finger and we were. Talking about it today and it's hard to put your finger on exactly what it is almost seems to be different things each time.

Well that's several weeks -- play sixty minutes football so and nothing's changed and that's what the emphasis and that's what. That's a little alternative shall continue to. See a difference -- and in the in two options is something happening here.

One at the Q and you know plot about a statistics and all of that so you wanna do I think that the team. You know I don't see any difference in what what we try to do over the way the team approaches or anything like that and approach would be -- what they give you. Gordon the office we know whatever -- You know with a mean whatever our approaches. Based on the first half and half time and and going into the second half of the game whatever that is that's what we feel like best and doesn't always work out perfectly. Know doesn't sometimes work so well you know yet but it's it's there's no change of approach.

When you decide to in the game and is it boots strictly the score when to use of the when you decided. If running but running the ball and take your time off caucus -- more important than. You know advancing the ball downfield was quickly you had earlier.

Oh well I think. As long as the games. You know apologist ought to play in the game that it's there's no real thought of that it's this try to -- but -- doctors try to move the ball score points so. You know until it becomes to me game where there are very few possessions left and minimum score. How many possessions they have versus how many. Scores they need then then that changes strategy little bit but up until that point. Not a lot of confidence and offense we don't turn the ball over along would -- You know we don't give up the ball lot you know months so whatever we need to do to move it -- that's or try to do let's run -- past that play action programs that.

And routine get complacent. After dominating. In the first half we did last last couple games actually there's applause -- team -- complacent coming up the second half.

No I don't think it's and are really think that's the case I think we are aggressive in and we wanna try to score -- we have people think that defensively. You know teams see things that we've had success with and then they wanna try to. Do somethin' to take those away and forces that do somethin' else and it's a question of you know offensively in a situation like that do you continue to do what you've been doin' and you know. Think that they're not gonna make any adjustments or do you go away from it until they've shown -- they can stop it and you know sometimes you have to be stopped on something before you really. Feel that it is necessary get away from you know and and so. And against some that's -- how things match up really I thought the the worst part of the game more than a third quarter was the end of the second quarter you know we go and holding Paoli in and we had to give the ball back -- we had a punt blocked and you know that was so those are bad end and then when mystical element that was kind of a bad. Series plays right there I thought that was a lot lower honestly then. Than the second half on the because so differently but that's got extra points you know mr. ogle some points on virtually nothing. You're right there's no reason why they they should even we Sheehan had a -- there at the first. But anyway we've that's because it --

With the multiple blitzing and different looks pose a much -- problem realize that defense a lot of interest in Iraq. Trying to -- a lot of books a lot of face trying to figure out what's real what's not real.

You know again the way it came when it was it was kind of -- staying they. They really didn't go with their big multitude of looks and and blitzes and they pluses and all that basement a third down. On first and second down they played more of just the nickel package and -- against everything that -- against. Three receivers to receivers there's a times even when we had to tight ends in the game -- two backs and they and -- nickel just I think because they didn't wanna get into. Six substitution game you know we put guy and it got to put in on and they don't want to get it that is left one group out there. For the most part until third down and then -- long yardage than they. Put their sub group out there and get that mattered to them that we had four wide receivers through wide receivers. Two back to back an tied and then once that but not that -- them out there so was it was a little bit of a different matchup by. You know buy it by the jets that kind of what we would normally see.

We you know we substitute people were you a little puzzled after the review and suddenly you with this five yards on the play and -- secures in the movie about a 31. Like a 36 of 37. Network saying you know.

not really know how that happened with the officials but the chains were over on our side and the in the -- the the chain -- got a sandwich chains. He's the one who actually pointed out and caught it and and said you know to the officials that. You know balls on the thirty not not the 36 and we were talking about that too because we said okay if this is and hopefully the balls on the thirty. You know it's a 47 yard field goal were worried feel all right for some forty air field goal. And in the balls on that put back on the 36 is almost on a 37 and and I'm thinkin'. It's a 54 here. And you know we were just talking about it what like what -- I that I blows what happened. And and so that's when they the kind of in -- straighten that out and but again that was that that was the that chain. The -- crew that caught that mistake not not the officials because they were. They're rated football player and and he yelled out to. -- You know we -- you got on wrong spot was thought is that a planet Lamar.

Yes because television kept on playing it back they played it back numerous times since it took awhile graphics -- That's a tough closure those a half ago five the other one bill that the two delay of games with. With with Tom in the and then in the office one of them clearly showed on the screen I notice a difference of what for clocking shall not.

Articles that are artistic there's a Fiat but they Campbell oftentimes. It's close and and a lot of times it's close and a lot of times that I actually goes the doubles -- right when the ball's snapped and usually do officials don't call that. You know they usually let that go it's right there at the at the double -- you know it's but. You -- I thought that both of those snaps were within. You know within the 42 clock on me now. I'm not sit there stare at the clock but I you know icy roads -- and tall and and I'll definitely -- run down he was keeping his island -- and he snapped it and and they called it in and so. I'm not really know what to say about that set that you know we thought we were okay obviously we weren't. -- we felt.

Work like sports I am progressives have problems numbers we have some here and picks aborting it was that was that was at the official clock or is there a separate clocked. Non -- if there's nasty habit or has the Vietnam makes no sense than India's the first thing I kept on thinking is that there must be different clock. Then the one they're showing the one they're showing is the exact same when the times looking. Exactly yeah yeah world looking at the same coffin shut us off him -- has -- 2 -- is that what you're you're going by on the field you know we're real. Because a lot of times they've been late with that we've seen the thing spider. And -- call right at this -- usual seat time left on the clock Tom Watson and for them to expire and this is a guy obviously it's keeping his -- on the.

Yet Toms -- very good at he's you know in in the whole time I've coached and here we could probably count. You know certainly on two hands may be on one hand -- the amount the only game penalties and to edit the jets in the first game. You know lists. And that that was if seasons were you know we've had a couple seasons so. Yesterday he was very aware that we talked about it during the week you know we have those in the first game recommends a game. And NN news or where written. But. But we thought there were I thought there was time all the time vote. Bushel to split screen when the ball moved in the time left -- very kitsch to your children. You -- you portrayal I don't think you can in your question because it's obvious effects the real good national abusive. Some -- I don't know there's a match up on the good question for how on how special group have been through if the business from -- month -- we will stop the how special players Wes Welker do you personally and if -- receiver that is uniquely accused. Nor are -- well Troy Brown okay you know I mean -- I think that Wesson and Troy I think -- a lot of similarities there. You know they both return kicks that both ever go with a -- their hands are both real good inside receivers -- great hands. They're both real quick. A little different style but I think they're they're dependable you know what every want to do kind of thing. And they're very. That it get an open increase in space and there's no where the holes are and they kept the ball in traffic so. Video west -- you know obviously terrific job yesterday as he has -- all year you know he he makes lot of tough catches. Makes a makes yards after the catch knows where the stakes are. Knows you know we -- six he's got 74 he's got five. And it's not one of those guys that you know when you need. When he five tickets for. When he hit it always knows right where he needs to -- he gets pop most heart I think on those we put it comes tumbling yards original line man ETE takes beatings and it amazes me how we get so -- 98 takes. He has taken a couple shots and -- and probably more than. Palm or he would like form to take you know sometimes discuss that in their but. You know quarterback usually. And Tom especially is very good at not you know lead its receivers into into that collision but. You know Harris got a one time kind over the -- and he did pick couple hits and there yesterday that. But you know he's tough kid and he he'll hang on the ball and but you know I think it's different but you know similar Detroit in a lot of ways as a as a slot receiver punt returner. And we've been really fortunate there it's quarterbacks that's for an have as somebody like that -- dependable.

To what other people are doing. The force you're gonna need to look like yours opened with a particularly over the long before they leave that area a little bit more vulnerable given that from the -- through Motorola.

Just -- a lot of man coverage and and and you know Strickland was a guide in the slot that. We had some success against and then he of course got knocked out when the war on him on that slip screen and and took him I don't know. Yeah I was gonna hit and then at what Strickland and their Strickland had a lot of trouble within -- natural they're the end of the half on the on the return route and and then you know of course Lowry got cut it on the the kickoff return as their third quarter so. You know we've asylum laws you know with and without some help and then. The matchup since we're just probably a little bit. West relative to the guys they have on at times are linebackers on you know one time that -- government the time. A David -- at a moment in cut their in the first quarter. And that you know that's just that's apartment Jeffords DP -- linebacker Angelo.

About terrific receive some move that fast connection -- you can't tell worries go in academia to return back. You know what it yet when he beat those Coleman yeah and replace how many guys to cut like yeah. And he's -- he's got great they're great burst out of his cut you know hit stop on diamond and you know accelerate out of it -- gain in a step. On just about every you know every defender and every route -- mean he's he's hard to cover -- talking about knowing where your getting a couple of extra yards Julian -- lady great move to get that big first down -- quicktime -- it was a great play and it was he was well aware when he got -- what he had to do -- he spun his body around -- be able to get that first down. He did excellent ploy and you know pace dropped out there and and coverage Tonka -- that often don't like we had much -- and he you know he he made they paceman incidents on and reach out for the first down it was so it's perfectly. That an opinion -- you know those for a touchdown drive that last one after. Meriweather intercepted interception that we got the interference finally percent wanna. That was picked third five pickup third six whoever was on the blogs and assumptions great plays were terrible rules.

Well first wanna look like there was miscommunication their between Cotchery and Sanchez Cotchery kind of drifted inside and Sanchez I think thought that he was gonna come straight back to moment. And so -- was behind them and and so that was you know that was a good one. The the over out there and second half. Jonathan Wilhite was was underneath and he had. It was Edwards and and I could really tell who we was thrown to go beyond -- what is it I'm not sure he overthrew the short guy era under through the deep guy. So why it in on on those and there was little pressure on them and and well I had good coverage. You know on first cross or so you know as usual little bit of you know team defense there. And then the other one was it was a very usual player it was at -- three coverage and Sanchez was comin' back to the to the backside. But -- roll up on him and he kind of forced him to release outside. And I don't know if this Sanchez didn't see the rolled coverage but he. You know we through kind of a slim -- and roll up and and it wasn't I don't think that's workable supposed to go through.

How's that record 92 break an oval look ahead to a big Monday Night Football game against the normal things. Coming up right after this.

back to make show it's patriots Monday it's our weekly chat with the coach Bill Belichick and -- coming up on Monday night yet another undefeated opponent. You look on everywhere. And at all. The New Orleans Saints coming up on Monday we usually start when you talk about it -- don't -- as -- Start with defense right now because certainly sharper as new dimension. Of them. They seem like they're pressuring the ball and it's especially coming from that outside or didn't I just watching them against. Tampa Bay yesterday and they figure they can put pressure on the quarterback that they do that to you this week.

I think they do everything they they mix it up they do -- job of blitz and zone blitz and man bulletin. The liquidity and Amanda man coverage. Ultimately go what's going on turnovers so so what terrorism like that's almost three gamer or three game and and a bunch of them they're from back for touchdowns. That they've had like eighteen different guys score touchdowns and some ridiculous numbers. So innovate they can score. On anything that score on defense and scored kick -- days of this scoring offense. They're. You have be really careful with them 11 mistaken and it's in the hands on the front they have -- Front four rockets pressure along pretty well very good past Russian team linebackers are fast obviously -- secondary. -- you know ball often and now -- and they've had at least two recent interception returns called back. You know ounce on and so it's. That.

Here's he's just a little -- they really showed everybody. You know Dave thomas' has got a lot of passes this year -- was who was here but -- thrown everybody's totally that backs that thrown everybody. -- how do you defended team. That has so many weapons up here and you know it it's not what they have one specific guy they're going to.

No that's and and Reggie Bush is palate a -- player he's. You know when they split him out as a receiver he sees practically as a receiver and he's not back out there and and then peace. You know dynamic coming out of the backfield along with their. The other receivers so they're they're big they're fast you know Anderson and Colston. You know other. They're tough public realignment items relate to go a little shocked -- in motion pictures and thomas'. There's -- there's millions well it very but I mean Shockey. You know Shockey Henderson. Colston Reggie Bush. In London and got good -- and Munich and good everything and and -- very creative coach and he's got all different formations he's got. Personnel -- really that you you don't see more than once a year. But what then you see all on an -- go from four ties and three ties and the to back the three backs in me you name it whatever combination personally and on the field. That they've shown this is a good office of casinos Scalia without a doubt who's the running game has the run together balance I mean they can run that they can throw it. -- they -- they don't rely on one of the other and their fair bit of both and there there explosive growth so. Quarterbacks outstanding. You know there I mean they're good. Headed it was something like if you try to contain the running game you try to -- take one thing away from them. When you're talking about they can do I think you can obviously stop everything so idea -- on the everybody's got to do their job in a British got a many corners and are gonna stop the running and defense tackles are gonna cover the receivers. So you know everybody's got a hold up on that you can take old bunch of guys and put them somewhere in sales were gonna take insulin they don't care. Pick some else that you don't take sentinel -- They'll move it around and and it's and it's hard if you want takes them away it's hard to match up to them because they gave you this is so many different personnel groups and many different formations. You know it's hard it's hard to find them. And they they do a good job with their shift in motion -- people on a mobile over the place it's that they're tough. There's -- how low how much -- any user off its game plan. Influenced by the fact to playing. Very good offense on those -- While I think that we can probably match up -- them offensively Steve I -- and their good offensive team don't get me wrong but I think you know we can move the ball score points -- so I don't think it's one of those. The case. What's -- like in in Super Bowl 36 word. Saint -- oftentimes you know more explosive than ours right we decide the final score more points in that game but. You know we'd wanna get too fast break game with them. I think you know with what New Orleans. We're and his and they real justice and the offense out there try to score in Thailand and well with some deep into a truck stop on I don't think we wanna get into you know kill clock mode in the first quarter and and you know try to. -- a lot of ball I mean they're gonna get the ball I think the most important thing for us as well weekend that -- what do we do with that you know and we we get points right. -- this offense. How much is when the drugs and how much you're who said so a lot of rhetoric that you -- you -- can't you sucked in to make mistakes that's with a cure. Yeah all lot of it is they they shuffle guys in and out and around and and they. Pitches think -- and the ball snapped and also on the at ten yards twenty -- Some funds on simple handoff in in blue 'cause all over the place and give it much different looks and -- and and often by the time you figure out a second one so. You've got to be able to play aggressively and but at the same time I don't think you can just go in their play one defense and say okay -- we're just gonna play this one thing we're gonna. -- just shoot that out they'll find out where problems -- and you know they'll they'll they'll slice that out so you know you've got to find a balance of attack and -- same time you know wannabe. I'm doing a whole lot of things where you're thinking all the time and you know who's got him who's got a hand or do this -- do that and I'd -- than than plays over and you've already given up chunks here are so. You know you're gonna have to you have to find a way to play aggressively and still you know try to create some problems for them and and not give -- the place. The producer Jerry -- is -- gonna go for a pressure. The quarterback. What this -- brings read really well and moves on the popular news. Yeah and and in all honesty fretted that he's been pressured I think less than any quarterback in the league and and when you watch the games against some. You don't see a lot of blitzing. So it's that it you know it's hard for you sit there and say well this this is worked really well against them not to -- Always and want to. In -- remember very well so. I'm not saying camp wasn't so like Manning though you know -- teams but Manning and and you know they just give up that plays -- see a lot of them but the once you -- see. You know like Miami if they -- in the game it is slip screen you know persona consonant with 35 yards and once again. So you know you see a couple of those players in the consulate you know. He million -- new onslaught you have played Drew Brees before his with the charges that the -- here. That's patent couple times we're back in two when the result was a policy change. Always -- different now the quarterback is it was spectrum with chargers. You know I don't think a whole lot Pete I think he's same quarterback he's in a different system that's that they thing you know terrorists weren't -- first. No play action. You know rely a lot on on gates in a tight ends in and the running game this offense he's. And offered as a throw to get a good running game. And then -- its offense they run a lot of you know reverses misdirection plays. -- shop ways. That they can be but but they're very they excuse the basics that pretty well it is so. He's he's got a lot of weapons and it makes got a lot is that a lot. The system has a lot more variety and then when he.

Incentive based on all things you said last week you play division -- the week before it's like a division -- you don't so much about them. A much more difficult is this week to get every one of your guys geared up to what they do could you don't see him an awful lot. There's that extra day. Maybe he'll -- a little bit more with -- an unfamiliar opponent.

I think it does we we definitely don't know -- very well this is a team that that has new players from the last time we played -- men and you know and and the dynamics of that are just they're just different so. We've got a lot of work to do and Leo ought to get ready for and they will need all the time we can get you know players that are. Are not in today and tomorrow they're gonna work out -- an -- until Wednesday and so as a coach and staff we can certainly is little bit of extra time. If familiar with the person Allen and you know kind of -- concepts and and what they're doing and China try to -- familiar witness can. Because they they do so much it's hard to it in on offense and defense it is not just the rothmans. They do a lot on defense you know one week they're all for three the next week their 34 the next week there. Nichols' only third time exit their the next victories and they and they they shuffle Grand Prix on defense -- so. -- we're really need some time you know to dig into on the -- figure out. -- so we don't overwhelm our our players but at same time we have some idea of what you know what they're doing what they -- might trigger 11 type of defense and other.

Sounds familiar I mean you guys haven't seen you much draw a lot of multiple sets of -- defenses he confronts two Randolph firemen down. There are little MI percent of Santana there's Anderson thunder amusing graveyard of had five common opponents this year to -- to pick his interest and so can you learn something from that.

You know we match up a little differently then. You know I think were offensively were different than the jets are different the Miami you know were different now Lana and elements and those teams aren't go to saint are. Our our style with a little bit different so but there's certainly some carry over and it's good to see him against teams you're familiar with. NC has some of their players matchup against the saints rather than. You know players from you know saint Lewiston. You know Seattle on teams like that that you are homeless and.
