What would you do in a Patriots "Being John Malkovich" scenario?

OK, it's the offseason.

If you've ever seen Being John Malkovich (one of the trippiest films ever made), you'll get the idea here.

A stranger comes up to you, and makes you the following offer: for the price of $1, your consciousness gets to spend an entire Patriots game in the head of any one Patriot player or coach, past or present. You do not get to control actions (i.e., if you become Belichick, you don't need to know how to coach), but you will get to experience the game exactly as the player does (you'll feel hits, you'll "hear" his thoughts, etc.).

At the end of the game, your body and consciousness will be restored, and you'll wake up in bed the next morning.* You'll never be able to prove it happened, but you'll remmeber it for the rest of your life.

So: whose body do you inhabit, and which game?

*In the movie, of course, people are dumped off along a roadside in the middle of New Jersey. But that seems cruel and unusual punishment.

Easy for me.....Butler in the Super Bowl

I'll take two. Is that mushrooms or blotter form?

Belichick. Hearing his internal monologue during the post-game press conference would be worth the $1. Also, Brady might drink a Kale smoothie or something.

Gronk. I'd pay $2 for 24 hrs.

Just saw Inside Out with the kids and I think "Joy" is the only emotion he has.

Why hello Giselle.

This one is easy for me.

Coach wise, I'd like to go back as Bill Belichick in the Indy 4th and 2 game. I'd run the ball on 3rd down instead of pass, which would have run the clock down enough to get the automatic reply on the 4th down play if we needed it again.

Player wise, I wouldn't mind being Gronk in one of the games he steamrolls everything in his path.

The only problem I would have is if the $1 I paid went to Kraft.

Hmm. I'd rather be Brady in this scenario.

Seeing the field from TB12's eyes would be awesome.

Gotta be Belichick in SB49. I need to know exactly what he was thinking/feeling as the clock was ticking down and he chose not to call a TO.

Gotta be Brady the night he conceived his last child right? Sorry honey.

I asked him this exact question the other day. He answered that he thought the Seahawks were scrambling a little bit to get their play called. He also said he liked the personell he had on the field. He felt if they ran he had the group he needed and even pointed to a 3rd and 1 earlier in the game where they held the Seahawks to a FG.

Oh nice, I didn't see that thread. Good question to ask. Still must've been a tough decision for him to put all his eggs in that basket.

Again, you don't get to change history.... Unless you're Craig Schwarz.

Sorry, no post game nookie.

Can't believe Ernie Adams hasn't come up yet... ;-)

Ty Law. Would love to see what it's like catching passes from Peyton Manning.
