Bill Belichick thankful for Patriots players who ask questions like coaches
Stumbled across this article which offers a glimpse behind the curtain known as the New England Patriots.
I doubt this type of open engagement of questioning and player involvement is encouraged in most pro football organizations.
What's Belichick thankful for?

Sometimes it's not enough to sit there and listen.
There's plenty of that. Listening. Through all the meetings, the practices, the walkthroughs. Players listen. They learn. Coaches coach. They teach. That's a given.
But inside the walls of Gillette Stadium, the approach to improvement is Socratic. There's a back-and-forth that exists between coaches and players. Questions aren't just answered, they're encouraged.
