FOXBOROUGH – Patriots coach Bill Belichick opened his Thursday press conference (10:50 a.m.) at Gillette Stadium by noting that the team will be focusing solely on itself over the next two days.
“Happy New Year, everyone,” Belichick said. “We’re definitely in one. It’s a privilege to be involved in the second season of the NFL. The new one where everyone is undefeated and we’re all starting at the bottom. We’re going to take these couple days and try to emphasize and work on the team that’s most important – that’s our team. We’ll do the best we can to try to improve our situation heading into next week. We know whoever we play is an outstanding team, whoever it will be. It will be tough and we’ll have to be at our best.
“That’s what we want to try to do, get our game up to the highest level we can, work on things we need to work on, regardless of who we play. There are certainly a lot of generic and fundamental things we can improve on, and that’s where we’ll try to put our emphasis. Once we know we who we’re playing, then we’ll certainly turn it all toward that opponent.”
The Patriots will practice inside the Dana-Farber Field House this afternoon. Media access to the locker room is from 11:10-11:55 a.m.
We’ll plan on passing along a few updates along the way.
Amen Bill. Rally the troops.
