Bill Belichick

" I spent some time with a coach and actually talk about game casinos care about the you know. Forward but the bounces right now and -- you'll do it now. Is there whip plant things ourselves a little bit and you don't put the sound went to watch some film movement they yell -- guys who had its name. I do you take -- game like that second pre season game first drive obviously they just. You know watched on the without it takes something like that."

" Well you know first try to converted 43 downs and real letter chances to get off the field -- most on the discovered by yarder to weave just quite tight enough on -- couple those plays and and so wasn't good the other touchdown long drive they had they they hit a short pass for about two yards and we missed couple tackles -- some leverage and and ended up being a big play in and they had a run that we basically had stopped and I kind of spun out there for. You know ten or twelve or so. If they're all little things in the game defensively that we just could tighten up by giving yarder so. -- bit ago the field and think of the ball of the offense and offensively we. At a couple turnovers. And three -- you know one for touchdowns that's that's not good. And you know can we -- distance and and consistently too many negative plays not you know convert on third down in some long yard situations. Because we have some negative plays on on for the second down and and you know that was -- to me pretty much the story."

" Distribute their feud with sometimes pre season best. And when it kind of take a look at play is that the best way to for you guys -- if you're blitzing guys guys have a chance to play see that individual talents. When it's in my they blitz a lot in the last -- I don't know but."

" Yeah I I think that's there's no doubt about president so hurt -- both last two weeks Baltimore and and Tampa bay when they blitzed us they got. They they have a more positive plays than we did and you know part of that's just. You know we we got to do a better job -- were -- that part of it is also there are prod better plays with them -- again in those situations than. And we in you know game plan form very much and so you know part of it was you know -- look good because they had a better in other -- that's all we have plays so. You know conversely we really haven't looked much at all we -- in the state in our basic the fence and and that you know probably hasn't made it overly difficult for the of the teams' offenses. You know figure out where we are what we're doing we're really kinda. Fool anybody we're just trying to. You know play good fundamental football but we we can play better fundamental football and we've got to handle the pressure is better than a week that we have in the last couple games so I think -- little bit of combination my point would be."

" If you're young coach who don't pay you to want to look at individuals because you have to make decisions with the keep -- not. When to blitzing everybody guys running and you don't look at that counts coverage Jules how the planet techniques and things of that nature."

" Right -- I think there's. You know that that's kind of what our philosophy is the what the players play in the basic stuff and see how that goes it's. It's easy to draw. Plays in pre season that work because of the teams not ready form rather inexperienced guys in there and then. You know you know that player works but he really don't know how well players can play it so. You know we're trying to find a balance -- that I mean that your body else's too on. One you know Baltimore Tampa did with the need to do get their teams ready and so I mean I respect that we've just got to do better job of handle most situations because they're going to come up eventually so -- we need maybe get you know do better talent here sooner rather than later."

" Of the of the balance changed over the four pre season games between points look at the younger guys who -- back up players and getting your or a regular players. Ready for opening day."

" Well I think it's you know a full transition there Steve you know thinking go from the beginning of pre season -- you really want to see the guys you haven't seen play play. And then the closer gets the the end of pre season and start of the -- the more you want to see. The guys who used you'd think are going to be planned start plan and plan together and so. We we transition that'll last night will probably do little bit more against Philadelphia and you know no well there goes the Giants game we get the -- but that with the kind of plan for these first three preceding weeks you have to take into account through the age and health of your of players in that situation absolutely and each player's different each player situations different and that a lot of times the the depth that positions on on your team is different you know from one position for the night so. That's a factor too but in the end I think you mean one of by the end of pre season try to get the guys who are. He plants -- start to play together in pre season if you can you know last year brilliantly at that would. -- comment Randy. That didn't mean that they were able to you know eventually that the formal place so. You know I don't think there's any absolutes and just -- you do have guys been together doesn't ensure their banks -- McGrady either but I think that's kind of where the review has now."

" all the talk about age and the old days when Julio meant. Some stuff who -- but going who had eight weeks to camp upon the crap but. It's totally different now guys at 35 his old like you're 35 is old and in the seventies and eighties. And it's it -- particularly so but there's less pounding us. And campus less you know thirties and -- twenties for advancements -- governor guys can play fifteen years knows fifties and -- thirties whereas that was unheard of back you know twenty years ago so when -- agent linebackers. When you're healthy and don't have the knee injuries of the -- injuries physically. These guys complain honesty you know Vrabel those look like he's he's lost a step in ages totally different now that was. Oh a couple years ago I want to send that to shop if you -- send your soul that you play there world are for real very old but. You see much difference from years ago with the guys -- play in later in the years."

" Well I I think really it just depends on the individual player and there are some players that. At the end of their career that they they drop -- very suddenly there are other players that drop -- very gradually and it's it's really hard to notice from one year in the next. And there are other players worth more noticeable and it's not. You know it's not terminal I just don't fall off the cliff and from a performance standpoint so as they get to take each individual player. I go by what you see I don't know there's a specific age where you can say what's going to happen or not -- happen. You know -- thing I say is I think that there are certain players -- Closer to the end of their careers -- the beginning and there are certain players are closer to the beginning and then -- and I think that's. That's really how I would categories it has don't think you really know want to players' careers them. No one's going to. -- And sometimes that the point nine sometimes it 34 sometimes -- at forty. You know it just depends on the individual players and and maybe his positions that the situation. And you know when and how he matches up at that position with Woody that it --"

" You know the -- more -- ways to a couple of years of them are still a lot of them -- you. That's a good success with guys that have committed here guys that have been toward the end of their career and has done quite well mean junior did very very well here. You brought job which it is there's something about those players because of their experience because of this sport the fact that our council won't. That in a one year situation they can pick stuff up pretty quickly. Sure I think they experiences one of the biggest things those players that don't form although they're pretty special. Those two particular Ahmanson's they're pretty special players and athletes in her own right Roman Phifer you know like that that. You know -- we're pretty special in in their day in the continued the you know and and -- able to maintain that through you know long career record -- Different systems and systems more physical in the system if you. You have intelligence in the work place the right time you faulty game plan you can be more productive and maybe it's among the system. Right I think certainly a lot of that has to do with the players being asked as soon and it's on cases. You know -- system a Plano player's strength -- them but regardless of I guess it's a good sign him what most people were talking about today. Is the backup quarterback position on your when your team. Because you hope that as the season goes along you never get to that -- quart of procession. Out there on the field but based on what you've seen in the first two weeks here is there any concern at all in your report. At that packer quarterback position."

" Well I thought that that Matt did did a much better job this week than them last week thought they handled a lot of situations pretty well down there in Tampa. And there were. You know when he gets my opportunities that I hit good job of them -- there -- several plays or is it really didn't have a good chance. And but I thought that you know he played much better they did first week of ball more so. And hopefully we'll keep building on that and."

" I think every position you know you always have liked to have. Great depth that that's this and that's what you want to you know no winners in India and that's what we do we try to work it in every player on our team in position to contribute. And ready to contribute every hole moment it would spot. It doesn't matter whether it's back or -- or any other position that's really our approach that's another -- model. In the past -- views forty year old quarterback -- backup quarterback right now he's gonna staple of real. Young kids is that by design -- ours that's just what happens to be there. Well I think that's the preferred way to go is this that they younger player and you know and take the three or four years that you have with him. And develop them -- and I am a player -- older it's -- a year year and you. You're just kind of getting by with that player until you can get younger one that you commit two for three or four years and as soon you have that then you know you'd rather work with that player that he you know what you haven't you know we have longevity with it. Rather than one year. Type players and and we've had those and those guys you know then. You know good to have you know like like -- audience that theory goes like that. You know that there's in the clocks -- on them that's not last forever and you really need younger players you can. It into that spot they can do good -- we can grow over here at her for years and and becomes so that position that way you know look for every year was going to have an interest in Pennington was out there. Post -- but he's been. Proposal I think. You know it's in like at that open and closed up record but you know it it sounded to me like now know we really weren't involved the sound like. You know I don't look for opportunity to now it is the order. Or you know compete for playing -- and you know seem like he got that effort in the Miami. And that and and and in. You know in camp but some discretionary should be playing and head over -- that saying if there -- on Borneo and maybe just on a few years okay because there was trouble there's backer position well when I was it's different for you. Bushels of money there was specialist Ron Amadon. But nowadays. -- backdrop that would for him much when it was a good kick back and objectives of -- he put the top all the guys and so -- going to jump jump on. -- position -- on that. Louis proved last week when the Jets acquired Favre now and then. That are in the -- so. Yeah that's it's it's really prohibitive to have two quarterbacks. On your roster that are Macon you know back on tops our money is this. He's -- that's hard to do you know uses it heats up too much space and we can in too many others that just can't afford. That's they can't do that quarterback -- and don't pay top dollar to two quarterbacks about it really in the examples from world but in. Most teams don't do -- back in you know like you're talking about when. 49ers and Montana and you know on the power. You know news of the Giants and we send enough of those two star quarterback teams could have a couple start or pacts because now. So there was the salary captain and that was free agency and so real maintained that that those positions. Pollutants story now or your rookie play and so forth. You know I think overall the groups they did a good job. -- to learn -- long way to go I think that they they've done a good job that it worked hard it's it's hard working class pretty smart group that picked things up well. You know and make mistakes that well not a lot from the home states or. Things we've gone over multiple times and still can't get right there's there's very much of that most of the stuff that. They have trouble with the things that they haven't really seen before -- little difference in the way we normally see it and you know -- you know quite identified quickly enough but you know overall I think that they've done a good job but Camden handled himself pretty well. Again last night you know perfect but you know -- Rodman. And Crable showed -- and showed a little bit Wheatley you know it was okay so. You know I thought that overall those guys you know -- that serve. You know perform well in the situation that and never competitive you know."

" I have in the in the value a source for in evaluation process how much of it is their physical ability to play there on the field and their mental ability to pick it up as it is weighted differently for positions are."

" All the way around. -- well I mean epic third they're both important and they'd have to find a balance with those guys you know ball players on -- not just rookies little players so. Granite they don't have a lot of experience but on the practice field you know wouldn't want to for practices and two games. You know they do start to see things in -- repeatedly and aunts and that's become a quicker than others and some guys. Are able to take one or two plays and in turn that -- experience those guys take. -- all longer than that and so they can they can close that gap more quickly if that's the type of player they -- and I just think that overall our. Our young guys are rookies have been pretty quick -- picking things up and make adjustments and understand and what you know how to. How to handle different situations so the fact they can do that certainly makes -- a lot easier keep working within because you know. He'll leave them behind will -- to prosecute we bring guys in that would feel. Have the ability to pick up this is music -- a course everybody bring and you feel like has you know. Has enough physical and and and athletic ability and they have enough football instinct of medicine and playing ability to deal with in treated and then. You know want to get him in here but it was better players and that's mother played the net does that mean then. You know that that start to separate itself let the initially when you break and then you you feel like. That you know things work after that player who they look at your record team and let them know how how almost went picking -- It was not a dollar ago via the half. Jot down very smart player and an very experienced player you know who's here for one practice and one walk through and for what he did last night oh thank the rays sign up from there are real and it just problems I think like that. You know going forward there's going to be you know at some adjustments and the Macon and you know quite a -- and learned -- and he's -- smart guys worked. He's he's very experienced player venture will come quickly. Two on -- he just kind of transfer our terminology to other concepts that he Houston -- physically still applaud him. We look at -- moves okay X sixteen years. Right I think you know John's. You know so when Washington play Lister Denver. -- his they're productive for them last year probable season and so we're you know we're excited about it and out there on the field this week in. Knows -- gone through some of the newness in the new terminology and all that -- again and you know getting in the system a little bit and and you know let them. Take place in and get some routes and NC double."

" Robert Kraft talked the other day about the possibility of going to seventeen or eighteen game regular season. And obviously cutting down the the pre season. You -- four games of the pre season. Well depends -- player I think the rookie players. Probably six games you know on the and that and then at six they they've learned from all six therefore they've -- from four there were -- it learn from two I think that. You know -- that. Less opportunity. You give the players in pre season in the Moore helps the veteran players and more for the younger players. So. You know what whatever it is and -- it's temporary body but that's me that's a trade off you know there but he talks about the golf and younger players and you know they had that your league for a few years with the adult when players over there. Which. I'll think too many got the belt there the summit that's a threat France was in the view mister. Mostly German in any case -- was one you know you're trying to find ways to give young players experience of playing time and right now the best way to do that is in training camp pre season games overall as a coach if you cut down. Well it's. The system questioner who you you know we're given a preference to let you cut that down then. It's going to be harder for those players to develop as players in -- to take a rookie quarterback and you know the only one or two games planned pre season you know think he's going to play for as a rookie. You know a plot that some things can happen -- August how much we're giving them more time than that then. You know you more opportunity get right made it to trade off I don't thicker or right or wrong things."

" sort of for the colorful but that it seems to me even watch and other games other NFL games that coaches are using their veterans less and less. In these pre season games it's a long season. You know you take a beating out there and we've seen some guys get -- the last few weeks in these games do you think that that's. We just talked about the difference of the veterans -- what they need versus what the young players -- need."

" Do you think there's a trend out there in the league of giving -- the veterans a little less playing time during a pre season. I would necessarily say that I think it's that probably case by case thing. I think that what you're going to see which is the same thing you'll always see is at the start of the regular season in the first two or three weeks of season. You know -- by injuries and as the players go from. As the veteran players go from plan. 1203040. Plays in a pre season game. At night when it's you know relatively cool. To those Sunday afternoon game since September. Whether it be in Foxborough or Miami. Or. Kansas City or wherever -- To -- sixty minutes at a higher competitive level because the regular season. And -- longer playing with fewer guys and guys definitely kicking game. There -- offensive and defensive roles and then on the roster 45 cynical out there with. You know eighty Europe's semi government you have here pre season that you're going to see a spike in injuries the first two to three weeks of the season and you probably see -- level law. You know for the rest of the year so. Again that's the trade off the more that they planned pre season probably the more game ready built the for the regular season. The greater chance of injury. Plan a more pre season. But inevitably. Went everybody's -- plan on pretty much full time basis and start the season. Appearances like an injury to New Zealand guys get hurt the first 23 weeks he -- consider consideration of the first two weeks do you kind of I don't mean those veterans and maybe not played them. The number of minutes number of plays that you would play him in game it's like 5% well. Of what -- when you have day if you have the depth to do day you do it but I mean the most important thing you're trying to win that game so. You know -- Again the other teams in the same boat as York. You know their their plan their guys you know about the same in pre season you're playing your guys so it's it's all relative. But all arms and is when you take that that jump from. You know forty plays a game in pre season at night. On a much more control basis bullets they 78. Plays regular season game at a much higher competitive level on Sunday afternoon. In in a much more strenuous situations. That's usually something's going to get of accidents over the course of 1500 players -- harmony goes currently they're playing in that week. That's you know that's the trade off and and the more you -- pre season. And and the more you can get -- than the clothes that they are to be ready to play a full game in regular season in September."

" But you brought some of that. Would have to take in consideration to bring making games pre season is. He brought the -- it's kind of relax. Two more games. Hi you know how much higher intensity much more -- you put a lot more where -- on the players was pre season games really. I think yeah I think if if you added two more games I think we have to think about his. You know not just the two extra games and sixteen to eighteen but also the -- pre season. And you know with that cause further spike in injuries the first 234 weeks of the regular season you know with that actually helped him along on. Or merchant along you know when you start you lose significant players that early in the season. You know we've all seen teams in previous years teams were they. You know they have two or three big injuries those first 23 weeks and it and it takes a lot team and the momentum of the team and fans than you know and so so. That's but he can't -- turn on anybody in -- rather play games you know who's gonna. It was going to get hurt who isn't I mean that's football so. Could be a guy who hasn't played the -- plan of quarterback -- You know the that's -- could be and it says you just don't know and that's that's our talent we sit here and it was fun to do. There's just there's no absolutes and it. They're actually talking about playing in the camp in February so they -- of deeper in the February -- reason. Here's. You know and in a mental fatigue come out there in the season -- Along sees what -- that we gave you former self generating a wonderful not. -- revert to make two new threw nothing but you know there. President since these guys know well of the how attitude in training camp shifts form when your rookie. Or Europe you know a young player that's coming in for your first on the -- for job and trying to make the team. And you know every practice like the Super Bowl you. Versus you know when your 456 year veteran and and you know you know you're allowed competency and make the team. You're not trying to make that team as much if you're trying to get ready for the season and you know I mean you've still got to play well to make the team that beat you know I mean there's there's a difference there. And so although those players in those players are able to pace themselves all of that through the pre season. And then be ready for the season but it but in any talk about rookies burn out well. Part of the reason they burn out -- because that for six weeks when their training camp those pre season games. I mean that's that's their career right there and and so it's very high intensity and then -- half the season on. Plus the fact that their younger than I used to it and you know plan against much better players never play against college it's. You know it's it's tough for hockey it definitely is -- is that."

" You know it's nothing love -- effort that's true. I -- of it is it is a different mindset coming from you know football school and recreation. Football. Bill Belichick looks in the sciences so on you know playing well him beat you if you melt -- when I was a rookie -- two games to -- moment -- You can't play a little bit and I was attacked the -- my nose -- and told me to read to coach urban college room Maria and not read. And you have to you know -- which in the bottom corner you ought to do it sometimes some guy you depend some ninety's a kick in the -- the next few neutral but. What -- you. Voted it it's a different world look at what these rookies -- just black and white football ticket book -- study combat in the field and be there all day that's a huge."

" Oh absolutely and that's why a lot of veterans have the edge on the of the rookies coming enough because their experience. It's fun playing field but their experience in terms of preparation and really knowing how to be a professional on and how to hold onto their job and a lot of rookies don't understand what kind of commitment they need to. You know to take a job from betterment training camp sometimes we'll find out there you know second or third training camp so."

" These and get sidetracked -- little money in your pocket twos you know. You give you know and I signing -- pocketed almost wouldn't you think that's you think that's good money you don't realize what money you -- on the table if you don't pay attention with colon -- Royals but I have some guys question he was. Had a weight problem and call nine and ten million dollars. He's usually have a huge dog and to me to wait quite you look at it would set the weight room and quit it. But -- have a guy -- a question. We're for a -- not to have after their campuses it. And coaches -- doing he said. I going to catch me if I get a perfect environment an eagle on the regular world and have all -- to a don't want I'm I'm -- ago when as -- velocity but. And that confined situations but Jesus have a guy function well as he does when he get out okay now go home Europe a -- with a ten million dollars and then a stay in."

" Focus. That -- there's going to college and professional football's that is. Relatively speaking in the pro players more time more money that class and study hall that don't have. You know the college coaches fans know from like like in college India. A little more free time and and a lot more money -- a lot more opportunity options. And that can be good work and he. Do you think you'll called Coach Billick and -- like Toronto right now I right now like what I'm doing Stephen any advantage to. -- do it a little bit better. Eloquent how do you think your offensive line has should go so far and we've had some injuries along the line under prediction of social -- there at that there hanging in there at a book that really did a good job against Tampa. You know last night. On the problems we have with Tampa were primarily when they bullets and they outnumbered a sore or they word come in from places where we're really didn't have the blocking on. But overall -- off ponson wanted ghetto pass protection would have more pressure on the quarterback. And you know when it in blitz us and and we weren't outnumbered we were competitive in the running game. On the when they did com then you know -- Either sometimes that we didn't have as -- or. You know we missed them between the tied hands in the back in the line and we missed somebody and that's some pressure and that's you know that's really where we have more trouble and so I was good -- that you know Tampa is pretty past Russian team and when we're able to just walk there of their past Rutgers where okay it's just on the product of people."

" Or read or he still treat game three the pre season. As the seems -- in the past it's been the most important games Seymour of the veterans and -- you seem to back off in game four. Do that this year my I think this year is that it's a little bit different Oakland because of the short week you know we're -- we got back. -- about 4:35 in the morning last night and the now Monday morning or any Monday afternoon planned Friday so that's a short week and I think you know we just gotta be careful about how long week ago. On a short week with guys who really haven't final. You know so now have to try to bounce off them and take that consideration as well to -- I think it was a normal. You know for it was a normal you know weekly schedule pre season -- the third game with probably. You know one where you know the players played more than they did in you know game one and game two at that game three -- I'm not sure that's where we're going to be left NC -- tell them and regret this week as and that is the worst time for a to have a short -- if they're game obviously when it we don't look at so. Posted two and again Glenn. Patriots if they're craft and -- He keeps it -- Little -- this briefly on the on Friday night. Lowell -- all about guys ours we have for the week of practice you know -- we just got back Garros morning in the film all some afterward but he is this week. Great time just before hurricane you know I was a young -- come on the quarterback. I -- an athletic kid. -- Alia the accountants that the you know you -- well as I mean looks like you and certainly reinforces that. As -- as quick release does it mean to -- athletic. He got himself out of trouble couple times last night and that's on the week before Baltimore you know and -- certainly you know run well. Made -- for run for a first down there Oregon outside broken thing -- One I think he's gecko."

" let me remind you that every Monday we're -- we talked to the coach you'll have your chance to submit your question. Two as the coach at WI dot counts football page that's we have to go and if your questions -- He automatically -- 100 dollar gift card to the all brand new audio so -- Patriot place to -- to Patriot players. And it threw to obvious it's from the you go through to stop I had -- days -- the coaches question is powered all season long like clean energy action dot net. When -- to clean energy action dot net you'll find that the strong wind into a lot more than pushed that winning field goal through the -- it's rubber that was for it. Tackled your energy cost and alternatives to clean energy action dot net today. I want to thank you for the donation you gave to that on Rusch 10000 dollars from. Some nice person out there who's going to spend some time with you one on Friday so -- really appreciate it which equals the five million dollars overall. And Richard from radio telephone clear goal yet so we are expected to get before we ended up that over four point eight you're still count. It was still calling it so. Well thanks again to you and everybody else it will talk more about it during the course of the day. Great seeing you can't coach but he backs coach to want more these pre season games going into the real season sounds good right -- excellence they've been great I -- wreck we get to the phone calls right here --"
