Dinner with the coach #2 - questions please

I would like to know how differences our O and D are going to be this season.
Don't forget to ask him what is our chance of having 19-0 in this season?

This guy gets it. :2ThumbsUp:

"If Goodell, Tomase, Specter and Tom Jackson were all hanging off the ledge on different sides of a building, and you didn't have time to save them all...how long would it take you to stop laughing?"

Ask him if he's NEInsider on the ESPN forum?

Other than Tom Brady, because that's the easy choice, what player has really suprised him by how well he's performed during his time with the Patriots? Obviously he doesn't sign or draft anyone that he thinks will be terrible but surely someone has overachieved even beyond what Belichick expected.

Objectively, do you think all the preparation, film study, front office work, etc that you see being done now by yourself and most of the coaches around you has enhanced or detracted from the overall enjoyment of the sport you grew up with? Do you think the game has evolved for the better or worse from the game you grew up watching and studying as a kid?

He grew up watching the game from a coaches perspective because of his father. BB has been breaking down film since he was about 7yrs old. I would guess the preparation is what he has always found the most joy in.

That's why I wonder...when he and his dad were doing it, there was very little outside assistance, it was mostly one or two guys...I'm curious if he thinks the addition of personnel and the additional "professionalism" that you can gain with more cameras, more guys, more film, more other things to add into the equasion etc makes it more fun or less for him...does it still bring him the raw joy that film study used to?

I'd ask him whether he feels that Moss' post-season production of 7 catches, 94 yards is indicative of adapting defenses, and whether he forsees any offensive adjustments this season... and/or whether he thinks the high amount of time Moss was on the field during the regular season (9 out of every 10 plays on average) had any impact on Moss' effectiveness in the post season.

Of course I wouldn't expect (or want) a public response to this if indeed there is going to be any strategic change that saw him utilizing another deep threat WR to take some pressure off of Moss. For the good of the team I'd expect him to write off any such suggestion that they'd be considering any shifts in strategy or how they use personnel and keep opponents guessing.

By the same token its possible they made a choice NOT to go to Moss in the first two playoff games, concerned that teams were gameplanning for a heavilly Moss oriented offense.

I've always been curious about what he considers the most difficult personnel decision he's made, emotionally speaking. In the past he said it was cutting Lawyer, but I'd like to hear what he has to say now.

Same here-there've been a lot of painful and controversial cuts since Lawyer ,so you do have to wonder if any of them were more difficult than his and if so, who he/they were It's a safe question too, one he might actually answer...

He will say that he probably let them go in a salary cap situation.

You could ask him, "What would be the greatest negative impact to the league of an uncapped year in 2010 and what would be your primary goal in preparing the franchise for it?"

I would ask him something you/we could all take to our own lives:

What are the 3 personality traits of successful people regardless of which business you're in?

Hmmm...how about what practice drills if any has he come up with on his own or borrowed/adapted from his father's? From reading Education of a Coach I seem to recall that his dad actually implemented some of his own drills.

He might say: "It depends...how tall is the building?"

Great question, Metaphors.

I have a few questions i want answered:

1.) what is his favorite beer?
2.) What is his favorite alcoholic beverage?
3.) Does he play poker, if so, what games?
4.) Who is his favorite American Gladiator?(the old gladiators, not this new crap)
5.) Was he also disappointed with Indiana Jones 4?
6.) How many hours a day does he sleep on average?

Click to expand...

I thought INDY 4 was really good. Fit right in with the other ones. What didn't you like?

What is your least favorite part of your job? What's the favorite? How does addressing the media rank in there?

I don't know if Camper will be there. If he is there, i would like to know what plan he has for our secondary or D in this season.

Keep trying guys....I liked Signbabybradys question - but he said he is going, so I cannot use his question.

Remember, the question cannot be specific as he is not going reveal inside information. He won't respond t personal questions either.

The key is to try to find a general question that will get him talking about the game itself like a true feel for what it's really like on draft day or how negotiations go for free agents when several teams are involved.

Looking for that winer of a question....
