BILL BELICHICKWhen you get wet, it usually means something good.
BILL BELICHICKI’m trying to coach the team and that’s what I want to do.
BILL BELICHICKAs 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 BELICHICKIt’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.
BILL BELICHICKI think everyone is a case-by-case basis. Whatever the circumstances are that come with any individual, they exist and you have to make a determination as to what your comfort level is with that person and the characteristics that they bring.
BILL BELICHICKWell 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 BELICHICKAll 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 BELICHICKWe 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 BELICHICKI 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 BELICHICKI 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.

BILL BELICHICKSome 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.
BILL BELICHICKThere are no shortcuts to building a team each season. You build the foundation brick by brick.
