Nice little BB video find this morning. While attending a Belichick press conference is on my bucket list, I think I would get more enjoyment out of watching the press try to crack him than any information BB might actually divulge. Personally I wish they’d just ask him more X and O questions and watch him go to town. Always love it when someone asks some random football history question and BB starts spouting off, showing how affable he really is.
They touch on it briefly in this video, but BB and Patriots are ALWAYS competing. Whether it’s not divulging any information at the press conference, or demanding the prospects they talk to at the scouting combine keep quiet about it, they will always be looking to gain an edge.
One thing that wasn’t mentioned in this piece was how BB also is careful of how his words will effect his own team. Overt praise for one player might come at another’s expense. By showing a complete focus on the upcoming opponent even in his press conference Belichick is always sending that message to his team. Don’t worry about anything other than preparing yourself to play your best this Sunday. No matter how much you did or didn’t play last weekend. No matter what off the field distractions are going on. Focus on the here and now, and get yourself ready to go.
