"He came down a bunch of times to talk to me, talk to the (Gators) team, talk to (quarterback Tim) Tebow. I've heard a lot of things (about the 2009 draft). I think if Minnesota had passed, they would have taken me."
Mon, 28 Jan 2013 05:10:13 -0800 Baltimore Ravens impending free-agent FS Ed Reed will likely hit the market this offseason. The New England Patriots appear to be a favorite to sign Reed if he tests free agency, as head coach Bill Belichick is a big fan of his.

If the Dillon move hadn't come to fruition, the Patriots may have ended up with Jackson. Head coach Bill Belichick said he visited Jackson before the draft. "I went out there and met with him, and spent pretty much a whole day out there," Belichick said. "He was a very impressive individual. Obviously (a) big, strong kid that runs well, catches the ball very well. Very good in the passing game. I think he's probably a little underrated in that area. Good in blitz pick-up, a smart guy."

Brigance and raise funds for ALS research, I answered a question about playing within the rules and referred to the perception that the Super Bowl championships won by the Patriots and Saints have a stain. My reference was to the perception out there that came as the result of the league's actions. I could have been more clear that I was referring to those viewpoints. I totally believe that the Patriot and Saint coaches and players earned those championships. Bill (Belichick) and Sean (Payton) both know that. There has been some distortion about what I said ..."

I enjoy bringing in the young players and working with guys who haven't been in the NFL and teaching them the basic fundamentals in how to become a professional football player for the New England Patriots. And I enjoy working with the veteran players, the Tom Bradys and the Vince Wilforks and the Wes Welkers and all those kind of players that can do really special things because of their not only talent, but experience.

You have to pick them based on what you think is going to happen this year. Brandon played a lot of good football for us.

"I'm not going to get into any details about it, but I don't think it's worth putting coach (Bill Belichick) in that situation. So in a sense, I do regret it ... As much as you might want to get enticed into that stuff, at the end of the day, it's just not worth it."

Belichick added, ""What can they take from classroom or in the past two weeks, what can they take from practice and then apply to game situations. I think we have seen a lot of good examples of that: things that we've worked on in practice that then either the same or similar thing happened in the game and how we handled that and that certainly gives you an indication of how, not only a player, but also your whole team can adapt to those changes. It's the same thing as far as making halftime adjustments or in-game adjustments."
Mon, 10 May 2010 04:33:46 -0700 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady said the team must start listening to head coach Bill Belichick more if they want to avoid another late-season slide as they did last season, culminating in an embarrassing playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, reports Peter King, of SI.com. "We've got to start listening more to coach (Bill) Belichick. We've got young kids who are good players. We've got the best football coach of all time. He's got the answers. We as a team have to take the teaching and the coaching we're being given," Brady said. "Our fans think just because we're wearing the same jerseys, we're the same team. And we're not,'' Brady added. "Teams change in this league every year, and ours is no exception. Last year was pretty disappointing in a lot of ways, obviously. Losing to Baltimore the way we lost in the playoffs, losing leads late, losing on the road. Every year is so different, and the way we approach this year will be extremely important. We need to see the toughness. We need to see the commitment. Can we take the coaching?''
