Football Outsiders Interview: Bill Belichick

Status
Not open for further replies.
Bill Belichick said:
Yes. We had a good team, but did not compete during the strike games. We had an incredibly bad roster. Several of the players were had never played competitive football.

I have plenty of memorable stories from that time. The ineptitude of the players was staggering. We had a very limited defensive system and if we didn’t have a good tackler at weak safety (Steve Rehage, who made almost every tackle), we could have given up a TD on every play.

I want to watch these games.
 
Interesting trivia that both Suge Knight (6'2"/265, Rams) and Steve Rehage (Giants) went on to become successful music promoters. Rehage still credits Belichick as his mentor.
 
OT:

"Bills draft the dog in the 2nd rd, cut him in year 3. The dog signs with the Patriots and statistically outperforms Jerry Rice."
