That Genius Brain Is a' Workin'!!!!!
 
Just reading this made my heart soar today!

Patriots simulate 'halftime' break - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

"......."Coach Belichick is a genius," said Patriots running back Stevan Ridley. "He's special. That was coach Belichick doing his thing.

"To come up with that idea shows you what he's thinking about. He knows what's going to work and he's been around longer than any of us, and he's doing everything he can to get us prepared."

Even when the team came in at halftime of the practice, Belichick spoke to them as if it were halftime of the Super Bowl.

"We were sitting in there and we had a halftime talk like it'll be Sunday," Ridley said. "He wanted this to be like a game experience, as close as we could get........"

Kinda shocked that EVERY team doesn't do this.

Creative detail, especially the 'talk' interesting he mentioned the longer halftime earlier this week being an issue. Surprising no ones tried it before.

Coughlin's thinking 'wish I thought of that':ugh:

Between Stevan Ridley fumbling and giving away state secrets, I'll be shocked if he's playing on Sunday.

Belichick's a genius. I'm sure Coughlin is ripping off this idea right now and will practice it tomorrow.

That old fossil Skip Bayless has jumped to the Giants ship, calling this move desperate and now that Gronkowski may not be 100%, he has the Pats losing the game.

I hope belichick has plans to keep gronk's ankle loose at halftime. I remember in the 2009 super bowl dwight feeeney had an ankle sprain too. Freeney was effective for the first half, but during the long half time show his ankle stiffened up and he was not effective at all during the second half.
