Bill Belichick, Patriots Head Coach

" Welcome back to debate show -- patriots Monday time for our chat with a coach Bill Belichick it's all presented by the Verizon gridiron challenge. Join the gridiron challenged by visiting patriots that counts slash -- challenge. For a chance to win prize coach. I -- they wouldn't get initially by the -- That's overrated and well let's get to this one if you had a chance to look at this one again. As you do look at it. How do you break down as a coach the game like this where there were so many. Issues during the course of the game how you break it down and try to figure out how you move forward off of that game."

" All of plays a different than -- again you know look at each play in. Turn reinforce the positive things and and states that -- made -- try to or whether some positive things and that came marshland in. Not an iPhone but there were in an individual there are some good things and in other times -- we were competitive. Defensively and offensively but not not often enough."

" Go to on things that surprised me it's another good office and -- books they give you an adjustment. But they had zero running for -- few times. What was -- Susan mistake was -- caused by. Just remove an offensive that the weather shift around or just a blown coverage along with certified -- I -- have -- Andersen windows and -- got within twenty out of."

" Now obviously -- the others there's a couple of those where we just. In languages than than that it -- a couple of ones where we were. Allman Mehmet players missed some tackles. In just overall we we gave up. You know -- place Suvari plays for over 300 or so to stability places. And it is we can't play my the other that was caused by the complexity office or just simply. -- look at them max protection -- sort of by the government whose three receivers look like a because conglomerate that they're just along it was a at the formation and yeah we ended up. In a check on recovery actions and we didn't leaving candles -- You know I think they do good job there scans a set date they keep things moving -- different formations personnel groups they shuffle people around them and make it easy for you. You know we've we should the breakdowns that we now give them credit for indigo offense and and advocates game but we you know we do so you know it's. Our responsibility and and my responsibility we -- do their jobs or cement. I know you talked last week about the formations and how they do different things those formations. Did they show you a lot of different things that confused you earlier on this game. Well it you know that they moved around like these relative different personnel groups that perform nations different. With the people around but good you know we've we've seen that -- that's. Now is we've got supernova."

" Did you have. Good week of practice was or any indication that. That the performance was and they often. Not only every two week practice Stephen Pope push a product that we're focused we had. You know good solid week of of work and we. You know everybody understood how we wanted to play the game will we -- we needed to play well we need to do. That you know in the end was --"

" Didn't even after a little bit in the kind of poison. And they made more than we do than -- You know looking back on -- sure there's there's a lot of things we could do differently scheme wise and and you know. Execution wise but that's. That's the way it is the -- you'd be in the game like -- you're gonna have some sleazy wanna have but that's. In no way we may have mistakes they capitalized on them and and I was that's pretty much story again."

" you you've been your coaching -- you've witnessed while a great quarterback performs is both for and against you. That that culmination of spectacular and efficient I don't recall seeing very many performances like that. Are you calling things similar to -- that that was incredibly efficient. And with a lot of vote huge place."

" Well you know again I think a lot of the Ares I got word was on him you know on the place and and and some of those -- that played very low warning competitive on in the long we've just. Gotta cut loose so in -- office. Again they took advantage of it you know and it sort of get credit for that. And all those or you know -- great execution there are great often as much of Wallace's. You know breakdowns on current opponent this game obviously although they had agreed to offer its long firepower different you know different -- sets and put offensively. For the patriots to figure that mammograms with. With the defensive backfield being depleted. If you like him a lot of trouble finding guys opened -- that we get pressure with. You know that down lineman for the cause -- MacKenzie just came off the street last week and you look like an all pro was there. Anything different they're doing little click through somebody may have -- some impact but anything and usually didn't see during the week. I don't know I think they'd they'd. You know they mixed in a few things and you know they have a multiple defense of system anyway apparently and they do some different things and they. They mix it up on us and but it wasn't you know wasn't anything that we hidden and worked on and we've seen double coverage on. On Randy and Wesley for. And they did that they zone as the precious little. Overall but the protection held up in a pretty well we just didn't make enough plays in the passing game. And we turn a bowl over a couple times and so you know those. Those factors combine with. You know what happened on defense just you know wasn't. Obviously. It is they realize they run Mosul the man looked like the room but dissolved. -- both four Rambo that they they play a lot of zone. I mean a lot in homes and probably close to 50% they're they're about 505050 chance that he's now. And you know a decent number immense pressure some of its own pressure they've -- Mexico you bracket it with the guys open that will be missed. Because of because obviously can't cover everybody and they did developer and a lot. The must have been out with this was an inaccuracy by the quarterback it was a lack of time. If you liked almost and sizes use the but it was a combination of things you know their at -- at times. You know -- we're -- a little bit but again overall the protection was developed okay sometimes it -- open and and didn't hit them more and get to Lamar. This time that are whatever another of the times one. In a leader in analog and we have a whole apple so. Again just wasn't. Just overall wasn't wasn't. Executable muffin and that we -- the designs of things a little bit differently but in -- football we just. -- better job and we did. On a big play let's walk Rebecca -- for the fortified guidelines toppling reception was at a miscommunication morale odious -- looked like -- sloth though where he thought -- going on through write to McKenzie. -- a kind of a broken play counts artist ramble on and and try to make a play you know an improvised play in. -- fees and make it now."

" Was it your intention to run the football little bit more you seem to emphasize that early on. In the game and added in one area with the saints have been a little vulnerable."

" Well we we were try to be balanced offensively we were the corporate balance in the first half and even. In owned in the third quarter. Until you know the Pentagon and a three score game but. Think we're pretty don't you guys more than held her own Odyssey -- Indianapolis some people in the fourth quarter. Or two point report when ago but what makes -- offense that much. Different than Indianapolis both highly with the profits for what makes you want that much better."

" On roads better that they're both good their different you know at that the same tomorrow vertical passing game. The colts are more scheme more in -- the kind of take what. What they give him with the saints' -- out plays downfield. And that probably overall Novo a little better. A little deeper group for receivers include the titans and and Reggie Bush you know he would play book. Guys who can get downfield and -- tour boasted bigger play type players. But often does a very good they're different you know -- Probably is about this as efficient as you can get honorable. New Orleans as of this is more for big play team and and -- to him last night."

" Randy ran out and look like MacKenzie didn't buy it on the do you feel movement -- front on the route to expect something different on anyone that."

" Already was emotional and McKenzie was you know on inside leverage after the motion and and and emitted a playable on. What was what was the reason for the decision three not gonna be enough for the game like this. They have based at that point I think we need it anymore -- These groups float -- the office -- very much do you as the game progresses you know the -- and ran free. -- through the back for the nineteenth time. That he as a continue to was -- DB's just didn't seem to get into the flow get on the receivers is walls occurred."

" Well again the majority of but the majority of the of the yardage in the game came on. On non summary plays or was and that's where over 300 -- came from so. -- not every play it was a bit play -- give up they placed on on that many plays then. We hope all your region and all of a little points so well you know times -- competitive but not you know but when you go to many big plays. Then it's that it's really not competitive so you've got to eliminate those and we didn't. Clinton and him."

" There were more physical office of like you might forget movement on the defensive line the running games rated. And enable found out some got a bruise in the past you'll do like angels what was notable physical offensive line and -- deployed. Well we play a lot of nickel. What a nickel defense decimal -- are set so that in a leftist little light inside. And we you know we felt like strengthen their team with the passing game and so we you know we wanna know more coverage on receivers. We just didn't did do good enough to -- them you know -- ran a few and their meaning that the one on the week. We just into the job on their playbook. In all of those and that's not I Lewis says the running games recently lost the game you know we get a one -- ground the majority of problems in the past and."

" How much of it was it physical verses just making mistakes out here it seems like. They got a lot of yards after the catch. The seem like there were some missed tackles as well along the way. In the world."

" combination of the two of them and now. When you were when -- I was came -- game couple times was that working Mbeki or was that through necessity for. His itself."

" Yet no I just. Not say former -- kind of we just weren't sure about not planned in all the plays in the game I think method nice job. BM hasn't played and several weeks and and you know from back in their -- snapped. Will we don't wanna do is get in the situation we're at the end of the game on in on close game that he. We'll kind of run out of gas and so we we try to Spellman. You -- can operate in their along the way and you know. Mark that a good job map and good job picnic -- pretty well over there but a polite really. First -- I was a -- than -- equality. You know of rusher Will Smith -- but he he denies there."

" What was the the do with the timing behind. Put in order and we're it was a while five minutes or so. Left in the game what was that two is the fact of being three scores down against offense that was."

" on mainly just you know thank give Brian and opportunity employment of environment plan on the road background noise and all adamant. He has to play at some point during the year which hopefully won't but if he does. Put a permanent tough situation. She came like fifth snowball obviously you spent a lot of time with -- different the defense of groups you're breaking it all down. You try to stop the bleeding you're trying to obviously get. Get back into it into what you do well this. Sometimes things like that specially when you're on -- road -- of -- kind of snowball on."

" The decision comes down to you know playing well and and be able XQ what you don't then. We give it to mimic plays on defense turned the ball over and then to take advantage of our scorn opportunities as -- echo offensively so. I don't know -- the political panel that crowd and -- into the Nicholas you know we Houston. Coach or player as well as the sense that you can seem to have much problem with the with the noise in the which played in his state agency or amendments. So what is you know just about every week when -- on the road and I don't I don't think that's the problem. -- that's not appoint on the -- not to go to -- on noises have been noisy places didn't seem much problems in the ball up but. You know his you run the clock down at a couple time your -- time I was doing some trees and obviously changing -- the confusion movement."

" If they do you know they they mix up their their looks in the past rushing in their pressure -- and they in abuses and different pressures and you know we try to get those picked -- that they did a good job -- you know move that around they commence in recall some things line of scrimmage. Your cup ties who were close to not get an offer on top of the -- amounts of yep I was a little bit of you know -- that an issue. It's it's like that planned and anyway though I mean -- figures some different. Pressure looks and there -- couple months where it looks you know little extra time to try to sort out it would tries to copy the stuff in the and other."

" You -- emulator routes it quickly. The saints I mean we all thought this into her office puts -- is that the -- is safe because the personnel look at the quarterback. We will do things seriously. Obviously much more -- how much of it is unique to what the states can do because the personnel."

" Well I'm sure we'll see you know throws it throws downfield and you know shots and go routes and seam routes and things like that you know we -- the problems so. I'm sure we'll see some more on a lot of teams run those plays but. And since. As a says that -- scheme they're well coached. -- good players -- lot of weapons and that are of the night last night so in the united give them credit but. And it in the same time I think you know there's no doubt we have -- in the do better job. These -- defensively. The all we did last night knows that just won't. That's a stock."

" It -- who's going third quarter down by seven series get the ball back. In his 69 past whenever on the past and will -- looked like he tripped it was safe to look like who's come -- what happened on the path. And within uncovered an announcement and in -- yards after the catch."

" We're game is hyped up like this and and that's not the there was. Great deal on the line one way or the other -- two in a loss like this affect your team. Who's going into last five games and --"

" Well I think they you know any game can possibly affect your team the following week you know win or lose. However plays out the think that's part of and until the NFL -- this is the only were you in your big wins it big losses is tough games every week. But each week you turn the page and move on next opponent and that's that's our challenge every week certainly a challenge this week of Miami. And we face that every week with a big wins we've -- tough losses. But -- we've got to win or -- put those cans behind us and -- want to that's a -- plan this week."

" If you -- and how how. How much time do you spend in the rearview mirror how much do you spend in the mistakes that we made talked about the defense and you've got to play much but it defensively. How much do you emphasize the mistakes that were made in that game last night. Going forward here."

" think it's the same every week you you try to correct the mistakes and you try to. Emphasize. You know the points that would that you did well thank you do will build on those so you you know you wanna play both sides of thank you wanna ignore the things do well but he certainly got -- just the things or problem and and the more you concede those things. Fit into what the next team those. Then that the morgue. What you call prepare for the next team morally wanna call -- the mistakes from the previous week they're all in a related so the more you can see. One team. In transition into your next opponent done I'm sure that the more -- he would spend in the areas and another area in my feels a little bit unique to that particular -- he displayed."

" Coaches to glaring things promote old former road in him inability to score in the second now. What do you attribute that -- the ability score in the second half. And obviously play good teams in the world would know -- pivotal for -- Now on his note that on those statistics but. You know I think it still comes back to. And other they're good plays in those games. And there was some moans of weren't so good and in all four games in mentioned there. We just -- which got a more good ones and non government and ours --"

" It in. Morrone is not a -- did not fumble much hardly at all in until the Indianapolis -- at three straight weeks. With a fumble was anything going on there of the different from what you've seen in the past."

" No but that's. You know we've came to turn the ball over -- and nobody knows and nobody takes an -- in Lawrence does so. You know -- as you know Steve informed defense -- player and once the start to happen next week everybody's looking for a New -- they see that. -- no player has -- falls than that just make sure all the more conscious of trying to get the ball from Sony. Notes that. -- Lawrence takes a lot of pride in ball security and and he works hard at it and and -- in have to work even harder."

" I quick break and we'll come back in the will look at some -- at the Miami Dolphins -- patriots -- right -- public -- we -- with a -- Back here on the big show it patriots Monday and our weekly session coach Bill Belichick. Let's take a ticket to Miami Dolphins coming up to move this game to 1 o'clock gonna start Sunday afternoon. How different our day bill without Ronnie Brown is this is the wildcats changed much without brown out here."

" Well a little bit they've you know they have several versions along look at. Before won't run apparently healthy and the one that seems to. -- now gone by the wayside as ride back there's the tailback with Ricky Williams. You know -- fast motion across the backfield but in -- way influences runs the -- play as a writer analogue at a and of course a panel likenesses. Options here reason. You know wins in the shotgun and poisonous under senator these both those and and and he he has some you know regular players were -- so. They you know they still have that element in their offense and and they change from week to week every week there's. A little different wrinkle in that in that version plays so. You know last week against buffalo. Erica Williams ran the jump past on the goal line and things like that so they they're constantly Edmonton and and union things defensively and it out of those packages that that you're not work and we'll. But most of the time they -- how much time he dedicated router enterprises. Well it you know as you know for diverge from gaming in some games they run a more than others in the some ought to do with the success of that -- of its -- good they stand at. That's it's not known as good then bill you'll still see it but. --"

" Now they're running Brohm threw the ball that well but Ricky Williams doesn't look like he controllable. As well Ronnie Brown and accurate record yeah. -- Fairly well went to go preparing to begin using still. Playing effectively. You know he -- he's."

" You know authority played very well couple weeks ago against in Carolina made a lot of good throws. You know through ball well against hapless also. You know put through a pretty well against us -- accurately -- and -- throws on third down and an -- and and good coverage situation so. You know I think he's you know he's done a solid job form. In -- a couple balls in south of last week against buffalo one. Get hit right as they released the ball newsroom what you do about that one is kinda wanna open area. Up to the corner. And you know then down in the fourth quarter two minutes ago tournament play in a kind of thing so. But overall I think you know when he's. Able to get the ball -- long time then and you know the passing game is is you know work and officially which for the most part it does there is -- a good running game it's hard to steal phone as they. They do -- so much that that they he's been he's."

" Pretty efficient do you think you the switches and offensively do between the walk the regular offense -- that inhibit. But young quarterback. Or make it more difficult."

" Well on on that gets in no question that have the answer on all the dynamics of and not practice time and all that works but. I just though it's a defensively it's something and that that you know you have to -- breakfast on morning got to spend time on any. And you gotta spend time on the Pat White parachute packages when he's in the game and and also his skill set obviously is much more by the runners rambler in and around some quarterback draws and things like that in addition to their -- rule -- game. And and all that you know -- and so -- it because -- you a lot of time. The offensively to commit to those things and then. You know you make it more one or the other or. Or some you know new oxen and you have to just enter the game so that's the that's all things that they do the try to keep the defense off well."

" You picked Kokomo and go more vertical on it to have last week in just author -- after it that your. Is are you gonna vote psychological barrier that you think this team has to overcome because they have not won on the road because you're going it's arguably. The biggest game of the year I think community if you lose its own game difference now to just enough to where you're about that the team."

" You know I think our team has has good low confidence of feel that there's any team that we play against that we. Any -- rock and winner and again we Felix out of reach that that you know we just can't be competitively on. Now think the team felt like for all long time I mean it's done. A lot of years. Noted that 2000 before our country has any kind of feeling like that on the team must certainly don't get that sense at all. -- we we know that we can win. But we've got to go -- play well to do that and and we know that too so that's. That's we're trying to do and I don't think it's more confidence -- are you know I think like that that's we we just because of their job well done but. I think we'll feel it we will and Candida."

" Gabriel that point we always known they could cause if they feel like you're -- anybody. Randy Moss and afterwards if you agree that the team was destroyed it -- offensively. Out of sync. What causes community you know this is a cop routine they've been through a lot a lot of time -- lot of players that on the same page can seem like that happened. He talks conference that part of the conference where you're really in -- you really describe it almost unconscious when the point when you know. Forward that level."

" Well I think that was more of -- of an issue of of this particular game the way it went some of the things that happen within the game. Than. And that's the that's a feeling about team I think there was some of that. A last night -- yeah there was some of them on defense to that it -- you know things weren't. Happens as crisply and -- cutie is -- is what we we'd like to be. But I don't think that's. You know and an overriding feeling but in in that game last night. Sure that summit in time we were. Not."

" Now we're going to be crucially. I'm Bill Belichick defense is an obvious conflict here we usually -- technically sound. How -- have to go back consistency. And break this old. Defense though that happened going to next game and get him back on the same page and get the young QBs my expecting it is simple mistakes -- always emphasized. They don't make those normally not going to -- plays -- to -- the straight out -- some of the young QBs. And get them focused on the next task."

" Well -- or comment. I don't know finally answer a question about -- we played eleven games this year and and this is really the first time on other than a couple plays at the end of the Tennessee game which -- it remorse that situation -- but. -- as the first time we've really had you know they played against this year and that and that's not good you know we don't want any games like that so. And with the event correct those mistakes that again a post much more today. Gave a big plays you know and was just you know every single play it was at play I didn't feel that way defensively at all maybe -- at -- again I really didn't. But the big plays -- that so you know it could limit those."

" If you -- port. Enough pressure on quarterbacks in the course of the season if you feel comfortable with the depression what. And kind of made those guys feel little comfortable back there. My defense Julio is one of you know -- watch heard quarterback and -- coverage on receivers that's what on the -- Sometimes that happens you know I don't know. Charlie Weis recently. Good -- in order name. And thirty speculation whether it's you know there's even talk about the into the -- which you have any thought at all about bringing him back possibly. 300 Stafford. Militarily and are our good friends with you know we speak up their regular basis."

" And only you know person disappointed for Charlie and and his family and you know all people that he took out there with -- so -- I feel badly about Federer and our focus on the Miami Dolphins and and that's what's going to be so. I'm really. But more on what they're certainly not anything that's gonna happen now. And then right now I'm really not thinking about anything after the -- Obama -- Think about me but look you know. I feel badly for Charlie and and that situation a look at a Miami have they changed much left to employ an browser of the game play calling defensive scheme I think that nature. Well I think there'll be a different you know prime drama and there was a focal point of their offense and a lot of things that they did not that Ricky Williams can't do those things. It's just that. Ryan -- and without Ronnie Brown in there than that -- shifted Ricky and some of its that shifted elsewhere so that'd. I think fundamentally this and its you know basically is saying offense but. You know with Ronnie Brown not in the picture is it's changed the in changing emphasis on and at votes on the Carolina game you know Ricky certainly could carry the load their rentable. You know be on war the defense down and peace you know and he's very capable on. What does say it was units of the -- of the well you know defensively they they lost Jason Ferguson. And and so you know he he was a key got -- side but. So as a good is a good player and their -- and -- fiscal in the running game you know like -- is our defensively it's it's pretty much same. Same cast the characters that we recently for. I mean other than the nose tackle everybody else -- Obviously there -- Matt -- but. He he hadn't really played much and later little marking him but in congress group world that we. Have played gets it and have seen only here personally with real -- awful game against this. The buffalo and buffalo school of what we'll go -- The fourth quarter there -- some success and -- in the game. Well as very competitive game. You know right to the end and -- got hit don't play as news release in the Balkan -- up in the -- that turn in a one reception in the they hit throw loans and -- that was right after that -- that night it will lead and then. You know couple minutes -- ago -- my instrument company amicable plays and turn ball over and so you know the score -- reflective of you know how close the game was with for five minutes ago."

" I coach reform must get to do it all over again unknown Sunday hopefully with a different results on Sunday afternoon good luck. Down their Miami will -- a vacuum and it starts announcement until Google -- radio of the fictional patriots Monday we'll be right back."
