More quotes by 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 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
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
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
We have absolutely done as much work as we can on finding out things like that and we'll try to get all the information that we can as that would apply to any current situation, which I can't talk about.
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
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
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
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
You get the job done or you don't.
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
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
I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I'm accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.
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 cannot comment on any player who has ongoing criminal charges and legal situations.
Bill Belichick
Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It's part of the process.
Bill Belichick
Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you.
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
My overall knowledge of football specifications, the overall process that happens on game day with the footballs is very limited. I would say that during the course of the game, I honestly never - it probably has happened on an incomplete pass or something - but I've never touched a game ball. It's not something I have any familiarity with on that.
