More quotes by Bill Belichick
I obviously understand that each team has the opportunity to prepare the balls the way they want, give them to the officials and the game officials either approve or disapprove the balls. That really was the end of it for me until I learned a little bit more about this .
Bill Belichick
We've been cooperative with the NFL investigation. We'll continue to do so and we will turn all our attention and focus on to the Seattle Seahawks, a very well coached, talented, tough, competitive football team.
Bill Belichick
Well this week's all about Seattle, so we've been doing our best to prepare for the Seahawks. I'm doing that, our team's doing that and we'll be ready to go Sunday. That's our focus.
Bill Belichick
We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that's the way it is.
Bill Belichick
You get the job done or you don't.
Bill Belichick
It hasn't even been competitive. That's the first thing we're going to have to do is just find a way to stay competitive because these (first two games) have been over by halftime. We saw that last year too (on Halloween). It was 21-3 (Steelers) at the end of the first quarter.
Bill Belichick
I had no knowledge of the various steps involved in the game balls and the process that happened between when they were prepared and went to the officials and went to the game. So, I've learned a lot about that.
Bill Belichick
To me the footballs are approved by the league and game officials pregame and we play with what's out there. That's the only way that I have ever thought about that.
Bill Belichick
I told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that's really about it.
Bill Belichick
All sources are not equal. When you get information, you take the information, you evaluate it, and you do the best you can with it. So, there's a variance in the quality and the amount of the information. It's a case-by-case basis. Each one's different. There's no set formulas.
Bill Belichick
I think everyone is a case-by-case basis. Whatever the circumstances are that come with any individual, they exist and you have to make a determination as to what your comfort level is with that person and the characteristics that they bring.
Bill Belichick
There is an old saying about the strength of the wolf is the pack, and I think there is a lot of truth to that. On a football team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.
Bill Belichick
I'm sure that any current or past player of mine would tell you that the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be: wet, sticky, cold, slippery. However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.
Bill Belichick
I'm trying to coach the team and that's what I want to do.
Bill Belichick
Tom's [Brady] personal preferences on his footballs are something he can take about in much better detail and information than I could possibly provide.
Bill Belichick
I'm a football coach. I'm not a doctor ... They don't call plays, I don't do surgeries. We have a great deal here.
Bill Belichick
As part of the process, there are a lot of different ways to evaluate players. There are a number of different companies and things out there that do different things that have different ways of evaluating and those types of tests and so forth.
Bill Belichick
To live in the past is to die in the present.
Bill Belichick
That has never been a priority for me and I want the players to deal with a harder situation in practice than they'll ever have to deal with in the game. Maybe that's part of our ball security philosophy.
Bill Belichick
When you get wet, it usually means something good.
