Finger Prince posted:I always remember that quote from (don't remember who exactly) Superstar WR playing in the pro-bowl who got chewed out and benched by Belichick for half-assing a block. He was so pissed and embarrassed that the next time he went out and loving blocked the poo poo out of his guy, all Belichick says to him is "nice block". Dude is like holy poo poo this guy just coached me into giving him everything, in a meaningless pro-bowl game, and I don't even play for him! Durandal1707 posted:That was Tony Gonzales who was talking about being coached by Belichick at the pro bowl. It's amusing nonetheless. Just to go a little further on this, Belichick was pissed about Tony G's lack of effort blocking during a kick return at the pro bowl, and managed to get him to give full effort on the next return with a single off-hand comment. The full story is part of this column quote:Everyone has a Belichick story – here’s the best one I’ve ever heard. Tony Gonzalez told me this a few years ago over a home-cooked dinner. The story took him about 20 glorious minutes to tell. We’ll condense it.

SKULL.GIF posted:As Kalli said, Green Bay had that reputation back in the day. Nowadays the close proximity to Milwaukee helps a bit, as well as players being able to easily afford air travel. Green Bay is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. In Green Bay you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the Green Bay motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.

That’s good. Tony was full of himself and thought this was chill time and Bill knew how to get under his skin for his type Since Brady is a GOAT with a massive chip on his shoulder Bill is probably needling him with insecurity to get another great season out of him

For 99/100 cases I agree that any system or scheme is dumb. Management should adapt to maximize the production of their player talent pool. But Bill B is the exception. He’s such a cut above every other coach. Let him run his system and grab whatever talent he wants.

I'm curious as to how often other safeties in the league rush the passer after reading that. Either way if true that's a really high success rate.

Strobe posted:O/U for Chiefs/Niners is 56.5. Totally. Both offenses are going to put up at least 30, and at least one defense will score.

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:Management should adapt to maximize the production of their player talent pool. That IS Bill's scheme. That's his secret, he changes his poo poo all the time where most other coaches don't. The 2004 offense and defense were nothing like the 2014 version except how plays were named and organized and boring bookkeeping poo poo like that. The only way he's bad at adapting to talent is at WR, because for Brady to do his thing he needs receivers capable of memorizing tons of play concepts and making reads at the line like he does. But also he sucks rear end at evaluating college WRs so Pats WR draft busts are almost always just busts in general.

I love when Belichick gets mad at reporters. Just remembered this gem: 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."

Diva Cupcake posted:That’s pretty whiny and very much in the “you can’t criticize because you never played the game territory”. I think that time was more him stonewalling a question about an injured player by saying "I'm not a doctor so gently caress off." I could be mixing up his rear end in a top hat moments though since there are so many. That said the best thing about Belichick isn't all the times he stonewalls reporters, it's the times when he actually gives a huge  answer out of nowhere about punting or something.

Week 2: after a second phenomenal win, Ryan Fitzpatrick shows up to the postgame press conference wearing DeSean Jackson's clothes Week 7: after a horrific loss, Ryan Fitzpatrick shows up to the postgame press conference wearing DeSean Jackson's skin. Week 9: after 2 weeks of abysmal play by Jameis Winston, a straight-jacketed Ryan Fitzpatrick is once again installed as the #1qb for a Buccs team with a narrow shot at a wildcard berth.

The whole interaction between coaches and the media is a dishonest exercise.

Yeah, but that sound bite is the only thing anyone wants. A tiny, tiny fraction of fans care about actual analysis, but if they can get a coach to exasperatedly say Playoffs? then they can run that clip for a decade. Like during training camp, assistant coaches / positional coaches give press conferences where they talk through way more detail, but effectively nobody ever quotes one of those for anything. So yeah, dishonest exercise, which has resulted in Belichick's complete anti-discussion itself become a soundbite.

Yeah, it'd be hilarious in either situation. In New England just the sheer amount of media attention would be ridiculous, while in Oakland, there's no way Gruden doesn't keep saying/doing stupid poo poo and cause a QB controversy. Also Browns - Jets is gonna be real good and a team is gonna go 1-1-1.
