OPENING STATEMENT:<\/b><\/p>\n
Well, we had a real competitive game here today. \u00a0We had our chances, but in the end, just couldn\u2019t quite make enough plays. \u00a0So give the Jets credit. \u00a0It\u2019s a good football team, well-coached, did a good job. We just came up a little bit short today.<\/span><\/p>\n On why they elected to kick at the beginning of overtime:<\/b><\/p>\n Because we thought that was the best thing to do.<\/span><\/p>\n On what this specific instructions to Matthew Slater because it seemed like there was some confusion…<\/b><\/p>\n Not going to repeat them.<\/span><\/p>\n On how much time they spent on the sidelines discussing what they should do:<\/b><\/p>\n I don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/p>\n On his thoughts on the offensive line\u2019s performance after Sebastian Vollmer went down with an injury:<\/b><\/p>\n Obviously the Jets are good defensive team. \u00a0We didn\u2019t really do much offensively, we had 200 yards probably halfway through the fourth quarter. \u00a0Didn\u2019t stop the run very well, didn\u2019t move the ball very well, couldn\u2019t score. Just didn\u2019t do enough things to win.<\/span><\/p>\n On any regrets on the call in overtime:<\/b><\/p>\n No, we got a pass interference penalty on third down, we got the stop, we got the ball back where we wanted it. \u00a0And then we get beat on…we got picked, beat on two flag patterns, so just didn\u2019t play good enough defense either.<\/span><\/p>\n On if it\u2019s a case where he looked at the tenor of the game and decided the defense was playing a little better than the offense:<\/b><\/p>\n Looking at field position.<\/span><\/p>\n On the last possession of the first half and the decision not to use their timeouts:<\/b><\/p>\n Yeah, we didn\u2019t have very good field position. \u00a0We had the ball to start the second half, so we took it there.<\/span><\/p>\n On what he saw on the long completion to Enunwa:<\/b><\/p>\n What did I see on what?<\/span><\/p>\n On what he saw on the long completion to Enunwa, the big play in overtime:<\/b><\/p>\n He ran a simple \u2018D\u2019 slant and we got picked, ran into each other, gave up a long play. \u00a0I mean, it was second and I don\u2019t know, eight, whatever it was. \u00a0I mean, they were throwing a short pass to try and get to 3rd and short, I imagine \u2026 and [we] ran into each other.<\/span><\/p>\n On the fact it seemed like there may have been some confusion during the coin toss with Matthew Slater:<\/b><\/p>\n There wasn\u2019t any confusion. \u00a0I just answered that same question. \u00a0There was no confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n On if that was a decision he would have considered under the old system:<\/b><\/p>\n Look, I don\u2019t know. \u00a0I\u2019m not going to talk about hypothetical questions.<\/span><\/p>\n On his thoughts on how Steven Jackson played:<\/b><\/p>\n We\u2019ll see. \u00a0[He] played a few plays. \u00a0Got started, we\u2019ll see how it goes.<\/span><\/p>\n On his thoughts on Keshawn Martin\u2019s performance:<\/b><\/p>\n I thought we competed hard. \u00a0I thought all our guys competed hard. \u00a0We\u2019ve just got to coach better, play better, execute better.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bill Belichick gives his thoughts following the Patriots’ loss to the Jets on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3543,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_pfeai_meta_description":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[237],"tags":[464,34,47,238],"class_list":["post-3867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-transcripts","tag-2015-patriots-season","tag-bill-belichick","tag-new-york-jets","tag-postgame-transcript"],"yoast_head":"\n
