We see Belichick doing different things in most games. First he takes away the number one threat completely and does the best he can taking away the number 2 threat.
Then on the other side of the ball, he uses his weapons as best he can against what the other team has. He doesn't run against the better run defenses and he doesn't pass against the better pass defenses.
With a new playbook each week the team needs to be on their toes but he goes for the intelligent players that want to buy in to his idea of just win and not worry about someone's stats.
After the career is what folks need to think about. Do you need to be on the list of top offensive weapons and no superbowl wins or do you want rings? Sometimes this can be a tough question to answer and if the player is diva, that may well keep them from getting a chance with the Pats.
He has done an amazing job with the players he has had. But he only asks his players to do what they can do. LeGarrett Blount wanted more money, fine get more skills. He was an under 2mil play for Bill and signed with the Eagles for more than twice, worked out for him, he has another ring but he was playing golf early this year. Bill needs a big back that can catch the ball, too, that increases what he will pay for the player, more skills.
All part of the amazing 20-year period of the NFL that is the Belicheck Era where Team is the key to success.
