Bill Belichick, August 20th

It's time Brasilia promised you at the beginning of the program today for our first installment of patriots won that means that the object. Joins us as he does each and every Monday bill -- They're glad they don't -- don't they could talk about the campus super ball there.

Yes I was talking about I'm very special on number -- those guys right right. Wide right exactly right you told -- to pack a bag of in New York and they bring our suitcases doesn't happen -- okay we can do that. -- up. We got to the hotel and an 49ers all the administration people were moved. And the stuff conference rooms all that they are taken over. They moved down the office furniture for the four because never they've won two in a row poor Fred and I was I was living in that game that's right fit on the attempt to go to the French Open the furniture. Read what -- want to grow there are supposed to three -- depart. They have all their fax machine caller you know offers books and -- you know I mean all the stay with the whole. That was all about.

You know bill most teams never learn they plan those Marines and stuff like that that stuff just doesn't work over the I -- great news great stuff so hot. It's about these people do you got the ball for 30 more. The bad news bill of -- is not to here today Paul for a -- here instead -- excellent -- Fred we don't know what the story is with Fred -- did -- remember the last time we talked it was that Randy moss stuff and you return to London the little bit patient I don't know the previous season. I don't know analysts -- Still 300 pounds about -- here it is just excited to -- and I before we look back it. Ed at Friday night how different is it going for what I know we always say that fans media the third pre season game. Is the most important I know today you talked about the transition how different is it. Suddenly gain planning at things like that would you go from pre season game -- to pre season game three

I think it's just that just step like like Lawton before it there's been another step by topic it's. You know going up you know -- too or certainly at that just. Just take another step that we have a transition into a little bit -- season program. Oh a little bit more in terms the game plan but not it's it's solid rate receiving game by any stretch of the imagination and you know we just try to play at a few things up you know we've got and or plays in more you know more situational things that we hadn't you know last week or two weeks ago equipment and the Tampa and so. You know were little little more prepared for some of those things we talked about. You know coached or so you know pro coaching operations a little bit smoother with the play calling him. You know communication in the press box and adjustments of like that this is just another step -- now Emeka you know make too much out of it but it you know. Moving toward opening today and Indian ready for assisting every season's schedule you know problem when you get to opening day is. You don't have any time to disk and it generically work on because you're always get ready for the next parliament you know to get them -- a week so unique kind of got to have everything in place that you need by that time because you know want to get that the jets' week the game plan and then the next week your game plan and ignorant on to catch up on. You know summit general stuff like in two minute situations. You know kicked kicked in situations that are you know one or two times this season frequency and stuff like that.

The reason I bring it up his I've heard for so many years that the games three of the pre season. Is is the real one there's -- almost like -- backtrack for game four. To protect a lot of your starting players do you not buy into that at all.

Well I think that yeah I would put it that way -- I would say that it. We -- to those last two preceding games too you know he's still have 75 players on your roster and I think you'd you'd probably played one group of players a little more in the third game. And then play get a group of players little bit more in net in the fourth game. You know as opposed to you know trying to trying to split it up like we do in the second. And just look at it more that way that it's -- that you really want you know he really wants from the players that the minute half time. You know to go -- all have to on procedure to you know talk about adjustments and you know come back in warm up again go back now. And play another you know government plays 152020 plays in the third quarter start work where we decide do. And so you you'd -- take Everett but he. You know as much through the process normal game as possible and do with the same thing the same way the next week with a different group people you know wipe them. About you know three quarters of the game and in you know where you're built up their stamina and conditioning. And mentally you know have to think about all situations throughout the entire duration of the game so it's that's -- good to see you just can't get all that. You know -- A split didn't happen just don't think you get enough that he can't the epic but he if you give one group lot longer belong plate on.

Well how much or what is the young guys you've got a fairly veteran team -- as a young guy have to do in the pre season games through through catcher coaches -- and make the team loses it. Possible this point for you know four weeks into camp for a a -- make your impression of all the sudden Suzuki blogs on the scene.

Well it I think that the other players really have the players that are here you know have all but for. Over the course campus if they hadn't then we probably would move on somebody else votes in the just west of a lot of times guy goes out there and and you know -- played very -- first receiving game. You know that certain game starts to make you know little bit of him because he's got more confidence understands that better and but that third game and fourth game you know you posted big child then and displayed because these. It you know he has much better understanding in and you know it's and then in quiet all of them and they -- played better. So it -- just started you know prick -- ago but -- the -- and -- 13 you know we've had guys every year. You know appear that and might righty then. Panel today. Eric Alexander like that that were you know on drafted players -- some. You know late round draft horses likely keep some. Eric back -- Patrick passes seventh round -- like that that you know. Made our team in. It culture that -- on them nobody thought much about money packed them but you know three of course training camp in the preceding gains they were able to establish. You know role for themselves on the team you know when. And then you know go one and -- from there so that's I think that opportunities there for the players who are still on the team absolutely.

You know since replacing for an economic -- a couple of questions in -- trouble -- back -- you know all right let you know I -- when did you realize that it -- it's you know -- on the robberies are always on -- now in -- I was addicted to -- does well this -- look like it to vocalist -- during the game the other day. Say and the officials should call them all. It's those third and I announcers is -- I was talking to Steve about this restarted John lynch in Denver add some comments about Dallas -- about him on blitzing needed. In the pre season he was upset about it seem kind of went against the code of ethics or whatever is such a thing in the pre season I noticed. Both you guys you and Jeff the other night about going -- the tennis court that's pretty good. I would imagine you don't really buy into that but what your thoughts on this whole code of ethics in the pre season.

One Donald thank there's pathetic there's a -- as you know the competitive. Situation you know you're you're trying to get your team ready in some bills trying to get their team ready to have to do you need to do to get that team in. And sometimes that involved in. Certain players or whatever but really are the Tennessee game plan went we we did exactly dissenting in this game we did at the end of the you know last game with a Hendrick overseas and we. We it used a lot of five and Russian -- we use the odd man rush on Friday night try to keep Benson in the off and then when he. Left the game at halftime and then in the second half we played very little odd man rush because. -- were too much about columns you know run around there are so loose. You know we went against the quarterback like that we felt we just needed to let our players do that at the thing that would do against. You know mobile quarterback like have been you know and -- will -- Got to contain you on that we write -- campaign. In almost everybody else there's not too many as a normal and so. What will we -- was the -- week you know on and on like on the hit by Hairston or -- and so you know -- and aimed -- one on Packers to switch call -- Really wasn't any big deal but the back or summit in system in and so. In real don't that are not just that they think about it and I imagine that -- is now you know he's not -- inning I was and we just. Honestly we we did the exact same thing we did in the even in a -- receiving game that was that was pretty basically. Most are just with a two -- on linebackers and then you know odd man much.

The villa always to deposit them most games even the pre season after a core of what thing I was most impressed with my game was what was the Rodney Harrison's coverage ability of little more about that -- pre season but. It looked like he hasn't been -- missed much of -- step here the first couple about it.

That Roger Federer could can't he's -- that -- we can't open like Rodney in engineers and even those only you know they're out there with you know Testaverde there there you're with another page based on their energy and enthusiasm on the plane. An -- just herbal there -- mean there. You know round and quick they are in. How athletic they opens you know either it's it's remarkable what it's not at all offers special that there.

So often -- we've we've seen sometime in October November December who knows maybe even January February. Where will see a certain situation animals you player or players. Act accordingly to that situation will say to ourselves as smart players they figure that out. How to beat her Teddy Bruschi talking about the us today and how much emphasis is dealt with. With situations during the summertime. How do you do that is it film is sit out there walking guys Stewart and and telling him this is the situation this is what you have to reactive. How how do you do what now to get it into their head so that it seems instinctively. They act later on in the season to that exact situation.

I think just the way you describe it one week you know recovered and mating season and if we have the situation on the commonly try to and then we show you know plays examples of those players like. Like you know kicked off after -- that happened last year in Detroit when they got a -- we took one against and Kirk. You know. In the Monday night game or situation a couple of situations up the Tennessee game where on you know we got the line of scrimmage -- in Tennessee China but to people and -- You know we quick snap the ball twice on third down or you know couple conversions you know to take advantage of their. And not get off the field quickly enough so you know those kind of things that you just never know that's going to happen was you know we have that same situation -- in the -- game two or three times you know those sent a thanks so you just but the thing about the situation that you never know when they're going to happen or or if they're going to happen. And a calm -- you know the the private thank you work on training camp. He keep don't know -- Then and the situation -- during the game currencies will be able to do.

Seems like an endless list -- mean do you. You see and in other games other situations that come up to yeah add to the list and say is an oval we got to thank.

Without a doubt -- yeah a lot times beat you. You get a play and a gamer you know he auction of the game break that -- these these some of the that -- you know we've talked about this -- we do that situation. But you know Lotta times we just you know Oakland we just you know so many seconds on the clock with 40 seconds on the -- it down by whatever the balls here. And we just play -- you know what you don't know if you're gonna get back in the game to your original gate when he -- But the -- create the next situation and you know on both sides in the all -- position changes auction changes in Phoenix the time -- on you don't. Sometimes you need it locals and it touchdown. And again in -- and the the -- of the past on the back for a touchdown and then that changes the whole situation. You know made it off a score touchdowns -- the first -- and then. You know now earlier you try to run out the clock and that sport that so. You know there's there's a lot of that we try to create that some of the week when we play out the situation just let it happen and whatever happens we we just have to react to coaches and players have to react in those situations and then not scripted that's the role that the all of Sosa's coaches and players. You know -- on around. You'll -- about it that -- this deal now.

Really satisfied with the progress of your mostly new receiving corps.

Well I think that they were got a long way to go you know we then have been -- here for a few weeks but. You know we got several more months but also I think that were taken progress as football team about every position but -- Here you know where we need to be. You know by its season by the end of the season we -- a lot of steps to take there. You know I like the way that they're. That the players -- work. I think we've got a good attitude that we've. We've worked hard -- try to take you know the corrections from a practice or game and an improved on the following. Opportunity we get to work on them and you know that a lot of areas blow the whistle long ago so Wednesday. -- it -- anything about our team right now. The lot better than was you know 12 weeks ago and we still got a long ago.

Possibly one might take two runs on the field on. Friday night is that possible.

They're ready they're today we'll see how piece becomes long on Friday but -- Monday in you know -- that we can. -- better than it was you know one -- there you know it but Friday so I'll stay debated.

just talking about how difficult that was two -- like go a guy like Artrell Hawkins of the day on any particular reasoning as the that the timing of it why it may have been more beneficial do it so early.

What -- a player like Artrell aren't and Josh Miller. Both was you know we just saw the people at this time you know had -- had a comment on that you know out of respect and given an opportunity you know before but it was on -- on you know maybe on an opportunity you know with somebody else. They there's you know of respect for better player. Is it. You know just want to ask a little -- out -- down you know -- usually space available. You know he's got a cup somebody's take somebody and not trying to open else out that. You don't want to be you know fair respect for those players and that we that the -- we saw which which go in the now that you know back -- change in a hurry and -- company players that. You know we've had our roster that we released that -- on the brought and so you know -- could change -- in. And both those guys -- a lot worse as the years. Future.

Laurence Maroney not wearing the red contact Jersey today. That means is a better shot of seeing him on Friday

bit you know all those guys that are -- on the everybody's doing better and and Lawrence's Mark. Has then you don't work in you know where it will step up they contact and so will take a bit since -- where customers and we.

Look at you explain the how the pop works once you get to the regular. Season if you.

Somebody there when you you yet that the rule was and that that when you get to the 53 man cut down you have. -- one of three choices you can either take the player off the PP less -- make an active and count on the 50 Currie you can place monitors her and -- be out for the year. Where he could place him on a difficult reserve he's the which means that he cannot play for the next six weeks -- in the middle October the sixth and and then between six and a 12 game you could activate the player to your roster for. If you don't want to activate this though I'll be at that point order you just couldn't activated for a reason that you could place injuries that are that. So basically the rule was designed for player who's who's not quite ready to play when seasons -- but you don't want to keep not for the whole year. But he does count -- the 80 which which those -- count and count altered training camp so you'd in -- you don't get replacement. That the -- recounted it gives them you know little bit more time to finished their their rehab and still -- but it is take that initial that.

It which you guys enough in a position where you've got to. Pretty much kind of figure out how long this guy is going to be I don't know Bruschi was on that that. Populist right basically -- and you so you left the door open -- knew there was a possibility. But isn't it difficult to do it at that time I mean -- in the medical staff sit there and say okay this is the window on me it's going to be difficult.

Well -- have on the injury that the players deal with this sometimes it is it's a tough call you know sometimes of course sometimes players you know coming off of of surgery over -- ACL -- injuries that the longer rehab. And and you just know that it's going to be you know time sometimes it's a a broken bone which we all know you know outlook the healing time on noses in. Liken you know -- so that that's kind of -- conference different then you know ligaments that your. No muscles that -- that whatever so you know it just depends on what the injury isn't the medical people people say they think that. You know players definitely going to be out for certain third economy -- needs that artery and then you know there's an instant and turned on the active roster.

I -- talk again next week hopefully Fred will be here will get him back in your but the guy can't guarantee it and then will also start opening up the coaches question February.

I don't know that's how good are at bank all they've. It's okay we have always planned on it next week.

Brokers offer that you won't -- in next week's would come into the show.

only -- yeah. Old Kayla that's all -- and Portland
