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

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.

To live in the past is to die in the present.

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

Charge Mean Sports Thinking
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

Complain Complaining Ourselves Worse
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.

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

Day Football Games Limited
So many different things happen in a split second during the course of the play, just like it is for a quarterback. The more of those things that you can do right, slow down, get the most important things, not get distracted by all the stuff that’s happening, but just really zero in on a target.

I’m trying to coach the team and that’s what I want to do.

Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it’s not the best thing for you.

Basketball Mental Team Toughness
For a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.
BILL BELICHICK

Giving Goal Team Up
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
We do the same thing with all our players. We take a look, as I said, at their personal family life, we look at the history of what they’ve done in high school and college.

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

Different Information Quality
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

Done Information Trying
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 .
