Bill Belichick On-Field Interview - 8/11/2008 

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media following a morning walkthrough practice at Gillette Stadium on Monday, August 11, 2008. BB: We walked through some stuff this morning trying to get caught up and correct some mistakes from last Thursday. We are moving forward and this is a big week for us. We have a couple of days to work on things that we need to work on. Later in the week we will start working on Tampa. That is a great game for us because what they do is a lot different from what we do on offense and defense. It gives us a look at a different scheme against a quality team with a great coaching staff led by coach [Jon] Gruden. We have a big week ahead of us and we have to try and make every day, practice, meeting and walkthrough count. We want to try and take some strides this week towards getting ready for the start of the regular season. Q: Can you talk about Richard Seymour and how he is compared to this point last year? BB: He was on PUP [Physically Unable to Perform List] last year and missed the first seven games. He is way ahead of where he was last year with being able to participate in training camp. He has done well and it is good to have him out here. Q: Can you talk about how versatile your group of running backs is? BB: It is a good group. It is a good competitive group. We have a lot of confidence in the guys that have been here. Of course LaMont [Jordan] has only been here a short time but he has shown us a lot of positives already in the first game and in practice situations. It is a good situation and a competitive group. Q: How is Sammy Morris doing? BB: Sammy is doing well. He had a good off-season and a good spring. He has had a good training camp. It is good to get him back. We missed him but it is good to have him back now. I am sure he will add a lot of production and versatility to our team on offense and in the kicking game.

Bill Belichick Press Conference - 1/12/2008 

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media during his postgame press conference at Gillette Stadium on January 12, 2008. BB: It was a good win tonight. You know,.Jacksonville is a good football team. [They] certainly gave us all we needed and could handle, but in the end [I’m] proud of our players. [They] stepped up [and] played well in the second half. Offensively, we had a pretty decent night moving the ball and defensively [we] finally got some stops--a couple in the red area and one down there at the end. I thought our kick coverage was good, which was helpful. You know, in the end, it was a good football team. [We] played well enough to win, made enough plays that we needed to make when it was a critical time and now we're on to next week. We know it keeps getting tougher every step of the way through the playoffs, so now whoever it is, we know we have to play better, play our best football next week. It's good to be playing football next week and [we’re] happy about that. Credit Jacksonville for their season and the way they played and competed tonight. Q:(On pass defense) BB: We didn't play real well defensively in the first half. They took advantage of a couple of errors that we made and they hurt us with them. I believe we can do a better job coaching and a better job playing it. Q:(On the other side the running game seemed to do pretty well against a physical and defensive line) BB: I thought Laurence [Maroney] ran well and our line blocked well. We had some good holds. Our receivers did a good job. They ran a lot of multiple receiver sets, and [Terry] Cousin, [Brian] Williams and [Rashean] Mathis are all top of the running game. So I thought they did a very competitive job there, too, and Laurence ran well. Kyle [Brady] helped us, too, on the edge. Q:(Regarding throws by Tom Brady). BB: Yeah, [it] was a little disappointing, the two he missed. You know, Tom, has been a great quarterback for us and his whole...
