My overall knowledge of football specifications, the overall process that happens on game day with the footballs is very limited.

Bill Belichick

Whatever success I’ve had it is because I’ve tried to understand the situation of the player. I think the coach’s duty is to avoid complicating matters.
BILL BELICHICK

Football Player Thinking
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 .

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.

I think a smart guy can learn. Some guys learn – it’s just like all of us – some guys can learn electronics, some of us can’t.

I feel like I’ve had a strong relationship with Robert [Kraft] and his family since I was here in 1996 and I think it’s gotten stronger every year that I’ve been here with the Patriots.

I’ve learned about the inflation range situation. Obviously with our footballs being inflated to the 12.5-pound range, any deflation would then take us under that specification limit.

I think that we’ll continue to try to look at ourselves in the mirror and see where we can do a better job, maybe where we can improve the process. But I think the fundamentals of the process will remain the same.

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

Different Numbers Player
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.

Process Team Tests Use
I think it’s relatively easy to play defense against a team that can only do one thing. Unfortunately, that’s not what we’re talking about here with Seattle.
BILL BELICHICK

Talking Team Thinking
I was out of the country for a period of time but followed everything closely through other people in our organization and we’ve made the decisions that we felt were right for the football team and we’ll continue to do that and be as diligent as we can going forward.

It’s the business that you guys are in too. We try to get as much information as we can and make the best decisions that we can for the football team.

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.
BILL BELICHICK

Game Incomplete Something Touched
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.

If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you’re going to come up short next time

The more things we do together, talk about together, work together on, the closer we become and the more we rely on each other. I feel like our relationship is very close and continues to grow closer every year as we grow older together.

Continue Each Game Main Relationship Together
Some guys, football comes really easy to them; they can see what all 22 players are doing, can see what all 11 guys are doing on their side of the ball, how it all fits together. It’s easy for them.

I don’t think there’s anybody in this organization not focused on the 49ers…I mean Chargers.

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.

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.

I’m not going to be able to talk about the people who are involved specifically in any ongoing judicial process.
