Lmao, the Patriots are 7th in pass defense, the jets are 20th.

As the Pats are a team focused, how about Patriots Archipelago to define the secondary?

I love it! But the team will have to provide a thesaurus for the press box.

If Bill doesn't care, then neither do I.

I think Bill encourages it. I remember seeing a clip of the film room and he says something like, "See that guy? He just made a big play on defense and look at everyone else.... nothing. Ho hum. Just another down.... get excited! You made a play!"

As long as Johnson is doing his job well, energy is a good thing. If he starts committing penalties and trying to jump routes, I'll question his motivation.

Yes, the clip you're referring to was focusing on energy and overall team camaraderie. In other words, no one was acting too excited after making a tackle/stop/etc, and Belichick did not care for that. He was quick to point out the lack of energy and wanted the teammates to have each other's backs.

I would imagine that he's mostly like everyone else in the sense that he wants the players to get pumped up and have fun, but not to make careless and stupid mistakes/penalties.

Actually it was him complaining that they don't celebrate when their teammate makes a play. As in if someone scores a touchdown, he's celebrating alone and his teammates aren't their congratulating him. After that, the patriots celebrate together in the end zone. Edelman got asked why he doesn't do dances, he said "I celebrate with my teammates." Gronk hugs everyone after his spike.
