Bill Belichick on Patriots Monday

[13:47] ..." Jake Long as good as -- tackle. From his first game against Gaines Adams against Tampa. All the way through -- Yeah he's given up -- pressures here and there but overall I think he's blocked"...

[14:38] ..." about a real at all but how big a factor was that Laurence Maroney didn't get a chance to win that game. Well we're we would love to have Laurence Arnold noted that he would've. Who would change that outcome of the Ronnie Brown runs or. Or know about -- but just another dimension on offense that you know there well there wasn't there now there"...

[14:38] ..." about a real at all but how big a factor was that Laurence Maroney didn't get a chance to win that game. Well we're we would love to have Laurence Arnold noted that he would've. Who would change that outcome of the Ronnie Brown runs or. Or know about -- but just another dimension on offense that you know there well there wasn't there now there"...

[24:57] ..." and do it and I think the big thing yesterday was. The Miami Dolphins did things out there on the football field you know better than we did -- combination of you know better coaching better"...

[0:00]" But we'll -- yeah. This and -- Hitler when he oh games like this we have another thought about losing and sometimes. That's this. -- great. Doctor Timothy entrants. By -- there with a little with a movies today. Well -- you know we. Looked at everything. Try to get it corrected and or move on so girl. Number of things that week. -- to work work on and talk about that. The offensively nine plays at 250 yards knows a lot of -- plays. Oh. Offensively we missed opportunities -- there there. Those Olympic. Games. States but. Often they -- Looked like they had receivers running real area code 21. Honestly it's not. Post column was well covered them -- company. A couple of good. Couple times patterns were. Covered -- the technical that -- gotten. We -- You know we could we could certainly coach it better. Couple times does that -- did you responsibilities. And those problems -- some coach in some plan could them better. That walk in fundamentals. This all way around it is a better job -- isn't. It should we don't want the coaching aspect of it. Obviously that was -- new formations that they threw win their after the Arizona game against you know he'll be more. Oh we've we -- in exact formations. For example worked on last week against the Jets one used dale Washington. To do that last year after it and he reversed now so. It hasn't. Grant and there's but the ball in some gains in penciled in the ankle. And that's that's football league is a better job adjustment. And the insurance. The players are prepared for. Whatever situations come up and we see -- we. In that are quicker it is pitchers. I think there's there's a plan to go round but the bottom line is there."

[2:30]" So -- this week of the bye week. Moral to correct what happened this past week or you're are you looking towards what's going on next -- of them two weeks."

[2:39]" It's a post you think it was certainly want to spend some time on. Promptly had the first three games bigger and that -- Angels there's a chance that'll they'll come up again. But also need to move on and and start you know look at -- athlete in. And sights of the comics. On the corners -- retirement through that quick note to welcome the corner right on top. The chance of those who recorded quite like that if -- go to commit themselves already. They were anticipating that play and and fifth in the two there's not anticipating. The fake -- you know just him right but going on the field but that's obviously. That would be -- That come up pretty well yet here we had a couple times that we were actually on the D fence Fred and then. A little bit like last week. Where -- you got pressure then you're really hit the ball often and so it was one of those deals where we just couldn't. Does that work out so that we could we could do that. That we had that we couldn't we couldn't get it to him. At times maybe we should had at least we didn't so a little bit with some else called them wood and a good time. In to go deepen and that it just this kind of hit the wrong way force it looked like Thomas is wide open on one of those it was -- is -- you know he final piece on Marcus. You know lifetime without distance -- Well -- the -- and pulled the ball down and and you know than brand that was -- strip on so. But that that's good example persona was -- a couple times. We've for the that we are desperate to Leo Lleyton for an apartment in the first quarter but. Is that blown linebacker covered jurors that certain well good sport to come open and help potter. Nobody was around. Yeah 1 time on the third down play we just we just missed the coverage. And we knew we weren't all plants and thing couple. One goes one on one coverage goes plan differently yeah we have mixed up there and and and then on the the fakes slip screen. We -- got overplay its history you know club position on. And he's open back -- on and so. That was you know another -- You know gadget deceptive play shoes clothes line week. Inflated to as close as any to it and that's that mostly he says here. Official Ewing and defensively and that was a little more unfamiliar. Well a -- more coverage on on on loss and deep coverage on -- and the image down it and mentioned last week. Against their zone gets that -- All over it pretty interest or Thursday they played Randy. You know with much much more depth than the plate in there's."

[5:24]" So was boo boos could -- was involved in the early. Early on the game was all of the involved in short the short passing game was that by a desire by reaction which were saying."

[5:35]" Well when he's on one of those routes up and then then that becomes part of the quarterback's read because. He's on -- route against against steeper mentors but there were times when I say they roll up to Ohman and and plays cover two and which is something they hadn't done a lot of although we anticipate that every week -- we -- you know we've seen plenty of it but. That in blitz that was that puts two or three times in the old game but that was what that was like coverage or operate --"

[6:01]" Coach always talk about gimmick -- refusal monologues sometimes -- you know people that familiar with him the ball. Anabolic with. With brown. We'll play like that comes in his face who plays same fundamentals and -- mostly shouldn't be that much to repeal."

[6:18]" Well right at the kitchen but it. They they executed the plays well they -- a little better as a better job on -- that we did they so -- Newman and Crayton and we just. We've got to the got to coach a better we got to play that actually answer it -- we're not too much gimmick so much about playing the fundamentals correctly. Well at the can be you know combination of both. There were moves one time we were really out leverage on one play. The -- the Williams. And there were other times we kind of had enough people there or you know missed tackles Sweden. We didn't fit correctly on the on the run and play. And whether that was because of them below -- You know just a mistake a much Moorman that's combination vote. If you -- choice and it is what is the schedule by pitcher choice would you rather play this week didn't just sort of watched audiences from right away or is it -- we have to wait around -- with. -- that think they're certainly. Plain things that we can work on and I think that that'll that'll do us good. So to spend some time gone back over. You know any problems they had the first three games or or working on something and that we just -- little more time on. Like the red area offense like third down defense. Things like that or it and you know to just little more time in San Francisco. Which is a team that we have played while we don't know very well so I think -- the times an official force. In a number areas and will try to just make the most of it."

[7:50]" Minister minute changer and emphasis put on the quarterback in the grass seems to me that. That was very very quick yesterday and yet I'm seeing that around the league right now there seems to be an emphasis on protecting the quarterback. And -- a lot quicker obviously remember the Super Bowl last year. They particularly like go for a while I went what happens what happened was it ever faithfully. Is there going to change or an emphasis on we gotta protect quarterback more trouble than a little it was a quick as anybody told you that."

[8:19]" Well no we've gone though that rule. The says that there has any change in the rule and there's that change -- emphasis that span between. -- issue officials officiating department. Between. Not not all clubs but I actually written they don't do in the grass but who's in the grass for -- nose wouldn't stop toward motion that's hoosiers Bob Lewis. Well -- with the way rule. The interpretation of the rules I understand it is. It's not so much in the grass the that is when the official feels that there's another guy come and -- And then the quarterbacks and the council's position as and that's and then there. You know have pretty much free shop net that's I think the situation where they really -- blows just in immigrants by itself. Like for example the play last week in with it the Jets. Where Thomas. Favre in the grass or. 23 seconds whatever was. Wasn't related in the grass. Situation because there was nobody else there was some deals -- The clinch now so. -- nor that's my understand the rule you know it there was this one around six times. And they would never call and progress so it's it's once the official thinks there's a common. Sure what you know what they saw yesterday. In any case that's true there wasn't room -- room -- This looked like he thought he was going down. I can't I don't think it would -- I'll corporately and you know you've been."

[9:53]" You -- before where where things have just snowballed Britain and it is simply nothing you can do to stop it. What does it take in that situation to. To turn the -- specifically offensively or defensively."

[10:08]" Well I think offensively. Yesterday Steve we really. You know missed couple opportunities in the red area and and you know at the one turnover on the screen pass and but. You know we had good field position we moved the ball council's fifteen and a point. It we certainly would like had more points but I didn't feel like the game was get away from us often bright and we played very competitively in the kicking game. Defensively had we've been able to. You know make a couple stops anywhere along the line in you know holds a couple field goals or. Get a turn over some then you know set of the pin point 16 -- six. You know than than half that. Then you know it's a one score game or maybe it's two score game -- kickoff return and you know it's it's a different deals I think the big thing is you know defensively we. Only give up some big plays we gave up touchdowns and and you know when they get 35 points in the third quarter that's that's not good business there was -- and what would it take to turnaround and and we need to stop on. And now offensively we. Need to take advantage of our you know over trips into the red area and close the goal line or. Alternatively you know cope with the big play something the covers 4050 yards and and you know. And that kind of opportunities or platoon partners so I didn't have any of those."

[11:30]" Do you find yourself as a coach maybe. Reaching in trying to make something happen with the play calling with a do you feel maybe on defense do you find yourself in that situation -- it but we've got to find a way. So make this stop one way or the other."

[11:43]" Right why -- you know my philosophy defensively is always been those kind of situations it is to just go back to plant something that you know how to play and went well. I think that sometimes -- at Tennessee. As a coach to. The kind of graph for called hope to stop of a team with a certain call. And then there's also sometimes tendency by the players to. Guess that the play and and try to stop the play by just planned that one play and and fans be anything else than. You know it's bad play or some bad calls so. They were you know for the most part that are all just plan that the -- that we know how to play and and plan well."

[12:20]" Your coach who talked earlier. Not only a few plays that was you know some games to a three plays kills some games five or 69. Plays that was how much. -- 250 to fifty in nine plays you know 112. Missed tackle one mr. Simon in his stuff one of those but. If that's how a ball becomes competitive game we take for those plays away and that's all closer --"

[12:47]" Iowa at -- but defensively there number plays that we. You know put pretty well and and Pennington made couple good throws on the sideline where we're. You know real close to the coverage but we couldn't quite make the play but you know where their. But I mean the nine the big plays they count to -- not taking anything away from. Miami they made those plays that we didn't so they they certainly count but there there weren't you know decent number plays that. You know I thought we we did pretty good job on. But the ones that we didn't make you know -- so. It's you know when they scored thirty points. -- those those plays so override. The ones that were or competitive the pizzas. You can't went talk -- long. It's pretty good is season of Wheeler who just put this game because they were up there and have the past they -- run more which is more -- trio. Well I mean I think that's probably true for any rookie tackle but I think Jake Long as good as -- tackle. From his first game against Gaines Adams against Tampa. All the way through -- Yeah he's given up -- pressures here and there but overall I think he's blocked well has done a good job. And -- you know one of the better left tackles that that will face I think he's. Different but similar to Joe Thomas we saw him as a rookie Cleveland you know that kind of quality of the players that run blockers physical. -- certainly hold its -- out there he's going to get better. And you know and he's a big man he says he's smart guy to get around and he's good technique player he he doesn't have. I'll say this he he gets beat like every offensive lineman does but he doesn't have a lot of bad plays. He's got you know old couple that in that to belittle the that are. There're permanent ones. Maybe it would have made a difference yesterday but I know we've talked about a real at all but how big a factor was that Laurence Maroney didn't get a chance to win that game. Well we're we would love to have Laurence Arnold noted that he would've. Who would change that outcome of the Ronnie Brown runs or. Or know about -- but just another dimension on offense that you know there well there wasn't there now there have there wasn't but that's. Again that's football in the unfortunately. Are they any team has all the players every week and so but I thought our backs ran hard and and they. -- that was you know they problem. But Sammy had a good run on ran hard you know Kevin was Kevin. You know -- in his role in it was it was solid so. We just. We just have to make some we get down and scoring area in scoring zone again Californians don't. I'm more than we've been doing it we've got to play better defense against -- on the defense on third down. And block and tackle and thrown kitchen."

[15:35]" That's what it could Dolan and."

[15:37]" It definitely Charlie gasoline on his. On the TV is CBS TV yesterday it was brought out the video and they were showing plays which. -- opinion Randy Moss was taking plays off. It was a play that we were talking about earlier here today early in the third quarter. But the ball was thrown to Moss and he seemed to have his hands down by his side I don't know if he could get make that catcher not. But it did give the impression just looking at it is if he did not make that exerted effort. To make guess that -- what went on that and a --"

[16:09]" Well we had a area that was the play of one of the plays -- Miami blissfully. How to -- just on -- for any relief solve all the whole the plate just didn't come all the way. It should have. The timing in the route and everything and so. I think that that that we just did you know we just didn't have a find out the way that it we want to that should have been. The ball kind of go around -- really saw what was happen. We needed then was giving up monitor. Randy spend root for and it's been one of most consistent players since -- here last year practice games. Long route short routes running game. You know you -- it's been very consistent force and so you know as far as his play I think he's he's played at a good consistent level. Please everybody would like to do little bit better of course we all those. I'm not senate -- is perfect -- that that you can't try to play our players and make a mistake or. Could've played better but he he's done he's been very consistent player for."

[17:17]" There's one McAfee ducked down we think that the post post because he got behind them. But his crossing the ball came out of lessons that the kind of ducked like."

[17:25]" Thought the guy yet up close another one that. It was kind of a quick snap play in and you know I I don't I'm not sure that he was. Now I'm not sure that he solved but the thing in the whole way whether. I thought that was momentum as we did have another guy you know it comes on the items you see him duck. Now I don't think you know. Now I thought can't say exactly what he saw. I don't think the play that style of play it -- really get it timed out executed the way that we like sport she map making improvements as far as really use -- Pretty well. They squad Nolasco from the quality and trying to prevent the short is on like is that the short -- that jump from real quick. That's a blow it. Worse in some of that it right we're seeing some. You know an -- The first you know to really have a good efficient passing game you need to be able to do. -- pass protect and then run the routes and attack the deep sense at all three levels short intermediate and deep. And so until all those things come in the play. And in your passing -- and not going to be as efficient as you want to protection. Short intermediate and deep routes throws Katz's and and execution so. That's it's really a team. It's a team execution. -- situations. That plays that are called and it's the team's execution of those plays so there were times where. Protection was good and we got the ball out in and completed -- you know a good -- plays at times where. On the protection wasn't as good times or the the routes and throws and catches were. By what they need to be and so you know get all that done and get done efficiently is an -- worse -- Not quite were one of the others -- some equivalence and then there's other ones that could be. We're a lot of attempts to throw the ball on the field that's for because the way Miami -- We're sort of -- again paid I think it's a combination of things that that there were attempts there are times we had guys down there -- sometimes we. We weren't able to hang on the ball long enough by the times their coverages deepen and that you're going to be thrown it down -- when -- their -- deeper -- New Orleans and he really need to throw wall underneath and we need to -- few -- those. You know -- we have most of those in the first half. And and in the second half in the game gonna handle little bitten and so the pass rush was better and sometimes -- At times throw at times -- the you know didn't have as much chance that pattern develop you know one past week you know money at a shop on. -- Randy you know -- it's just he threw the ball went straight up in the -- so you know it's. There's there's little bit of that Duke."

[20:17]" This team has always been good at being able put games behind in the rearview mirror even performances where they've blown teams out do you have a good feel. About this team and when a finally play in a football game here Miller wrote almost two weeks -- differences."

[20:34]" Which brought a feel like -- Francisco's the scale be wild on us. -- it -- regardless how it -- We we need to we -- and we can beat him one game affect the next. But. Learn from the corrections and this man and -- long sword and expects. To have proof via. That same thing as players forgotten about going to forget the big wins you know to line up against the big losses a -- it's all the opium. Leaving -- if football doesn't matter to a the next here. Right there's no points at their on the board but the from the one where others couldn't what -- you what you do what do you do for the week now Aaliyah the bye week you against them. -- work through Thursday and the players the weekend off. -- week off usually two -- the week you know these guys that you're -- sixteen drove me vacation and one half sacks I mean we threw it well and we'll all take you know Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday pretty much like a normal week and then. And then start back -- you know month to month week. I did or -- the players. After the game yesterday and today say they wanted more. Then we -- mean obviously I'm over -- of any debate with that but questioning the effort -- their own effort -- On you have to. Yet talked them up you really says it about their effort at all."

[22:04]" Well August say the major well we we had some mistakes in the game. At every level you know -- maiden. It's the coach's name players and that over thinks it could have been better and and need to be better we only do better job so. Say there were a few plays where we didn't. Things didn't about the way you on and do for combination of reasons and then those plays. You know we're big plays in the game and and then as the game got away from us then. You know that that became one dimensional game we've we've weren't there or really able to. Handle that offensively and you know defensively. The damage had been done. So."

[22:47]" BC made mistakes on offense or and I'm more curious myself -- you respect just loads of what you think. A mistake that you made particularly -- to -- got to show qualities -- besides but I never -- they fought anyone else while I'm playing because well -- question I get from a lot of fans and friends with that you know occasionally you have said that. And it was like duel can give us an example what he thinks one of them statement."

[23:11]" Well when your head coach in team goes out there and it's beat 3813. Whatever wasn't. And that's. That was scored in the three quarters early in the fourth quarter. It's hard to feel like -- did a great job yesterday of his employees all or an execution delay everything you know everything preparation and political analyst. You know should we have spent more time on. On. You know some gadget plays who has spent more time on. The gadget formations we we spent time on some things that they didn't do as much. But again that's always going to be the case you know should we have. You know talk more about. You know certain plays or shall we had you know looking back on it actually event this the fence and that the fence and because that would that a good thing to have. As it turned out at some of the things that they did. You know we didn't want to waste time on the fences where we didn't think we'd be able to use those. Different calls you know which we have. Not been in -- safety coverage on the you know pass down the middle to the camera ago that we should have been you know so yeah you second guess a lot of that stuff."

[24:23]" I know you talked a lot last week about the Carolina offense in handing him. Is it more difficult early in the season with teams that have gone through coaching changes a lot of personnel changes early on in the season. Is it more difficult to prepare for them. I think."

[24:41]" It in the end glad that it's still really gets back down to how well you execute what you're Dillon. I mean anybody can draw up a bunch of plays and run triple reverses season. You know nine foot line splits and all that but then can actually go out there and do it and I think the big thing yesterday was. The Miami Dolphins did things out there on the football field you know better than we did -- combination of you know better coaching better preparation that are playing. Better blocking better tackling that are throwing in better catching better coverage. They they just did some things in the game better than we did and if they had called different poison. Done them just as well it might have been the same result and if we had called different plays and not -- and -- better -- and we did the ones we called it probably would have been -- results. You know you've got to go out there and be able to block the guy you're supposed to blocking got to be able to go out there and and defend the guys that your cover our. You know throw and catch a pass. Inability execute those plays and that's really what what do comes down to and that's why we've won. A lot of games around here is because the players have gone out there and and done that and yesterday it wasn't our best day and certainly -- part of that's my responsibility. And I'm sure the players are disappointed in the way that overall that they played yesterday -- so you know that that was a team loss -- know. One thing or one player one call or one locker one missed tackle. And we just. We got beat by a better football team yesterday and that's from top --"

[26:24]" I thought for our clean energy action dot net coaches question of the week this question is from Jeff brown Foxboro coach -- bass. Every year brings new. Or changes in rules in the NFL over the past ten years what do you feel was the most significant rule change. In terms of how the game as well."

[26:46]" Both -- curve ball right there at the end because the most significant rule I was says instant replay. And how the game is played well. I guess I would say that I think the one rule that really affects the game. Is that two point conversion and it changes the strategy. Not just that Denver San Diego play with a go for to win the game but you know all along the way when the you know went to go for too. You know in the fourth quarter sometimes teams go for earlier in the game and you know than it did they go for too soon -- so I think there's a lot of strategies there that. Wasn't there when -- kicked the extra point -- electric train. Well without -- both ways it's that it adds and adds a dimension to the game that didn't have before whether that's. I think it's exciting it's good for the fans that probably you know fact that the sixteen point. Game is potentially two score game itself it has to be -- more game it is you know keeps in and a more competitive balance on the east of make those he's so good score get the two point conversion but at least has the potential for and that's. So you know I think that's that that's changed -- game in terms of strategy which then changes it and terms some plays that you you run answer."

[28:08]" I'd every Patriot money this year we talked with a coach Phillip chance to -- that your question. It WEI. Got counts football page and your question shows and you automatically -- that you all moved obvious right here you know Patriot place. The coach's questions powerful scenes in season form like clean energy action done that. Catalogue on the clean energy actions that you want to be strong win. And you'll lot more than pushed -- winning field goal from the upright and going to move you specialty rod that he kicking -- was great threw great field position. Was the one thing is cumulative positive. Positive if you student here's what's the coach to Internet who. -- over the outfield Osama -- we did ignited by deceptive I was used the question that. Those who I have an effort to Owens that -- bell the past twelve I don't know definitely that's definitely been undertaken. -- missed that they serve once familiar early lead always he threw -- I -- coach we'll see you back here -- Monday animal so important what the San Francisco -- cents below and I I've the United everybody and it."
