BILL BELICHICKI don’t Twitter, I don’t MyFace, I don’t Yearbook…
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 BELICHICKI’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.
BILL BELICHICKFor a team to accomplish their goal, everybody’s got to give up a little bit of their individuality.

BILL BELICHICKThe only thing I can cheer for in Philadelphia is the national anthem.
BILL BELICHICKMental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it’s not the best thing for you.
BILL BELICHICKSo many different things happen in a split second during the course of the play, just like it is for a quarterback.
