Here’s a transcript from my recent interview with New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> kicker, Adam Vinatieri:<\/p>\n

Talk about the offseason a little bit, tell us about some of the things you’ve been up to.\u00a0 Have you gone anywhere or done anything?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Well the offseason went extremely fast this year it seemed.\u00a0 Our coaches had us come back a little sooner this year, which is good because we do need to get back on track and stuff.\u00a0 I did do a little traveling, I took a nice little cruise in the Carribean, and went up to Niagra Falls.\u00a0 So I’ve been doing a little traveling, and enjoying the offseason, but it seems like it’s over already.<\/p>\n

The offseason workout started on March 20th.\u00a0 What’s entaled in those workouts?\u00a0 Do you guys have a schedule?\u00a0 What exactly is involved?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Well we go in different phases.\u00a0 This is Phase 1 right now which covers about the next six weeks, and that’s basically lifting and running for conditioning.\u00a0 So it’s mostly getting back into shape, getting back to where you need to be physically, and getting you’re conditioning back.\u00a0 Then the closer you get to the season, it becomes a new phase, and that becomes a little more in-depth in different aspects of actual football.\u00a0 But this first phase is mostly just lifting and running.<\/p>\n

Are these [workouts] any different from what you used to do under Johnny Parker?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It is a little bit different.\u00a0 There’s different techniques and different forms and stuff, but for the most part it’s running and lifting weights.\u00a0 There are different exercises that we do, different repetitions and stuff.\u00a0 But for the most part it’s a lot similar in the sense that, lifting is lifting.<\/p>\n

When you guys had your first meeting with Bill Belichick, what was the atmosphere like in there?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I think it was really good.\u00a0 He came in with a real go-getter attitude and he’s making sure everybody’s focused this offseason.\u00a0 He wants to have everybody back working hard and getting ready for the season.\u00a0 It looked really good, everybody is really excited and fired up for the season to start, and I think he’s going to get everybody off on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember reading an article where Ty Law said when he walked into the room, everyone was silent.\u00a0 Any truth to that?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Absolutely.\u00a0 Everybody gave him the due respect that he deserves.\u00a0 You could just feel the atmosphere, everyone was serious about getting back to work.\u00a0 It was really good, and I’m looking forward to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

You had a chance to play for him back in ’96.\u00a0 Is there anything you recall about him from that season?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

He was our defensive backs coach, so he and I didn’t have too much contact with eachother.\u00a0 He is a very hard worker, and he always had our DB’s ready to go.\u00a0 He really knows defense well, and he’s worked a lot on special teams also.\u00a0 So although he’s a defensive minded coach, he brought in the guys on the offensive side that will really help us out too.\u00a0 So I’m really looking forward to it, I think he’s going to be a real go getter and it should be very exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does he seem compared to coach Parcells?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Well, you know like I said, I haven’t had too much experience with coach Belichick yet, so it’s hard to say right now.\u00a0 I’m sure once it gets closer to the season, and once the season starts, I’ll be able to give you a better comparison with that.\u00a0 But he has a lot of the same attitudes, he’s very serious about his job, he’s very professional, he really wants to to get us off on the right track, so those things are very similar about the two of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year you had a tough season.\u00a0 You had to deal with adversity, really for the first time in your career after the Kansas City game.\u00a0 How difficult was that?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It was tough.\u00a0 It was one of those things that you never ever want to miss one like that, but the longer you’re in the league it happens to everybody type of thing.\u00a0 By no means am I making excuses, I need to hit that, and who knows how the season would have turned out if that one would have been made.\u00a0 But I’m going to get back to work and get back on track.\u00a0 It’s something that you have to remember in the sense that you want it to make you better, but then you have to get it out of your head and not dwell on the makes or the misses.<\/span><\/p>\n

You got quite a bit of support from a lot of the guys, and they really stood behind you after the game.\u00a0 Was there anybody in particular that you remember that came up to you and said anything that stands out in your mind?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Well like you said everybody came up and said, “Hey Adam, we win as a team and we lose as a team.\u00a0 If we would have did this, maybe this would have made a difference….”\u00a0 I remember [Drew] Bledsoe really sticking up for me during interviews saying ‘we should have never had him in that situation anyway’.\u00a0 Everybody was really good, and that’s the great thing about our team is everybody stays together as a team no matter if one person does something really good or really bad, whatever the situation may be everybody sticks together, and it’s a team win or a team loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

After you stop and take a look at last season, you weren’t the only one that struggled.\u00a0 There were other kickers out there such as Gary Anderson, Pete Stoyanovich, etc., a lot of them really had a different season than they were used to.\u00a0 There were some kicks that they would normally have made that didn’t go. Looking back, do you think that the new K-Ball rule may have played a factor?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I think so.\u00a0 Obviously it’s one of those things that, I don’t know what the kicking percentage is, but I believe that it dropped 5% to 8% or 9% percent.\u00a0 I’m not exactly sure on those stats, but I know that kicking percentages dropped.\u00a0 Now is that in direct correlation with the K-Ball?\u00a0 I think so because in the past few years stats have been getting better every year, now all of a sudden they drop a little bit, and I think it has a lot to do with the new K-Ball.\u00a0 Teams are going to have to know that if they’re going to keep that rule, then that’s what’s going to happen.\u00a0 If you have a few more misses, every once in a while they’re going to come at an inopportune time, and a game might be won or lost because of it.\u00a0 So it’s a tough situation, but I think that the longer the balls are in, the sooner we’ll get used to them, we’ll get adapted to them a little bit better, and everything will be O.K.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a different season for you last year, you had your best friend Tom Tupa, he left during the offseason, and then you had Lee Johnson arrive.\u00a0 Can you describe your relationship with Lee, and was there any memories or any occurances from last season that stand out in your mind?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

He’s a wild and crazy man.\u00a0 He’s a great guy, he just has a ton of energy and that’s what’s fun.\u00a0 You never have a down moment with him, he’s always excited, he’s always funny, he’s always cracking jokes and stuff, so he keeps it pretty exciting.\u00a0 Like I said Tom’s a great guy too, and those two are both great athletes and seasoned veterans, but [they have] different temperaments and different attitudes between the two guys.\u00a0 Lee acts like he’s a six year old kid, and that’s what makes it fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Tupa going into the offseason last year you were a free agent (restricted free agent anyway), you got an offer from Cleveland, did you ever feel during that time that you might not be back in New England?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I was hoping I could stay a New England Patriot.\u00a0 I like it around here, I like the guys that we have around here, and I’ve said it before, I’d like to be a New England Patriot for my entire career.\u00a0 But obviously that was kind of up to them in the sense that Cleveland made me an offer, and it came back to the Patriots to see if whether or not they wanted to act on that.\u00a0 So the ball kind of landed in their court, they made me a nice offer and everybody was happy, and I was happy to stay around.\u00a0 I’ve got two years left on my contract, but when that time comes up I would really like to stay a Patriot for longer than that.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have a new season coming up and a chance for a fresh start.\u00a0 What are some of the things you’re going to be working on during the offseason, and what would you like to improve on heading into the season?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Well you know obviously whenever you miss a field goal, if you’re 39-of-40 or 99-of-100, you always have room for improvement.\u00a0 So until you can have that perfect season, there’s always room for improvement on that, as well as obviously working with those K-balls and trying to get a little bit more consistent.\u00a0 The K-Balls are also taking a little bit of hang-time and distance off your kick-offs, and punters are having a little more trouble with that too.\u00a0 So I’m going to try and work a lot on that this offseason with them, and try to see if I can maybe even increase some distance and hangtime on my kick-offs and try to also increase my consistentcy on my field goals.\u00a0 So needless to say, there will be a lot of work.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s your outlook on the 2000 season?\u00a0 If you look at the parity around the league after last season, you almost have to believe that you guys have really just as good a shot as anyone to win a championship.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Like you said, even in the AFC East last year [things were different].\u00a0 During the 1998 season Indianapolis was at the bottom and the Jets were at the top, now all of a sudden you look, and it’s the other way around — Indianapolis is at the top and both us and the Jets were at the bottom.\u00a0 Two years before that we were winning the AFC Championship, so that’s just the way things work out.\u00a0 Take St. Louis for example — the year before they didn’t have a very good record, and now they win a Superbowl.\u00a0 With the way the NFL is now with the salary caps and the way free agents move around, every year is different.\u00a0 [How competitive we are] will depend on who else we bring in to fill some of the holes we have, but I think coach Belichick will get us back on track and I’m looking forward to a successful season this year.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
