Unlike most other interviews that you have, you usually don't talk that much technical football with an owner.

We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that's the way it is.

Those are pretty good football players. There's no gimmes on that front, I can tell you.

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.

They're 12-4. If the playoffs weren't set up the way they were, they'd probably be playing at home, (but) they're in the same division as Indianapolis.

Some guys are football smart and they're not smart in other ways. Other guys get 1500 on their SATs and can't get a double-team block right. No, that definitely, in my experience, sometimes it correlates, sometimes it doesn't. I don't think you just take it for granted.

I told you the one change we would make in the initial start level of the football pressure, but that's really about it.

I could tell you that in my entire coaching career I have never talked to any player, staff member about football air pressure. That is not a subject that I have ever brought up.

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.
