Bill Belichick utilized quotes from Miami players to motivate the Patriots

[jmt57]

We often hear that 'players shouldn't need any additional motivation', but it sure doesn't hurt. Whether it be news of Pittsburgh coaches instructing players to pack their bags for the Super Bowl prior to the AFCCG or some other bulletin board material, BB leaves no stone unturned and assumes nothing before a game is played.

LOL

I am not even surprised.

BB is the greatest.....

 

[Deus Irae]

But he doesn't Myface, so how could he know about this stuff?

 

[Gwedd]

It's the little things that usually tip the balance in any game. This is the sort of "little thing" that pays dividends way over and above it's face value.

 

[mayoclinic]

IIRC, most of the times he has used player quotes in the past, the team has responded quite favorably.

Art Modell never did figure it out, but that's Ernie Adams' role, to fill BB in with that stuff.

It's a game of emotion. Whoever said they don't use anything they can find to motivate doesn't know what they're talking about. Did Rodney, Brady, Mcginest, Bruschi etc. play better with a chip on their shoulder? C'mon now!

"All he does is talk. He's terrible, and you can print that. I was happy when he was in the game."

lol

I'll certainly admit I was not pleased with the team's play at the beginning of the season. Though really the only thing that truly worried me was the play of the OL (and huge credit to the players and coaches for righting that ship)

But I really had no doubt that the offense and defense would come together by December (especially after seeing year after year of a BB coached team needing the first half of the season to really get into peak form (barring major injuries) to fully integrate BB's sometimes complex "system" of offense and defense)

I give Belichick full credit for that - and I give him full credit for drafting/signing the players who "fit" his system in terms of having the intelligence and drive to buy into his scheme in which every player/position has a role, relative to their skills and his strategy from week to week

It's the epitome of football as a team sport of violence chess - the main reason why I LOVE this sport and the Patriots specifically

But of course, a major tip of the hat to the PLAYERS themselves who can actually see and understand what Belichick is doing. They're the ones that execute, as brilliant as Belichick is - and I love the fact that they take such pride in themselves and the team that this bulletin board material does indeed drive them to excel

We are truly fortunate to be able to watch and enjoy this team and this organization

It's been an exceptionally enjoyable season

Billy Bill does myface when it's convenient for him.
