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 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.
BILL BELICHICK

Football Kickers Thinking
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.
BILL BELICHICK

Philosophy Player Practice
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.

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.

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

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.

I 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.

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.

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
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
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’ll refrain from making any more comments on any ongoing people involved in the judicial process.

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.

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.

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

Charge Mean Sports Thinking
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.

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.

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
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.

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.
