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

Bill Belichick

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.

Best Prepare Sunday Team
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.

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.

Different Information Quality
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.

Complain Complaining Ourselves Worse
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 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.

Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we’ll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team.

I am who I am. In the end, I feel that what I’m accountable for is doing a good job as a football coach.

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.

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’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.

Football Games Knowing
I think we all know that quarterbacks, kickers, specialists have certain preferences on footballs. They know a lot more about it than I do. They’re a lot more sensitive to it than I am.

Football Kickers Thinking
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.

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