The Belichick Strut


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

One thing I noticed last night was how Belichick has control over the crowd.

 

Like it or not, the New England fans are very football savvy. During the timeout that was taken to decide whether or not to challenge the touchdown rules out of bounds, Bill really worked the crowd.

He had the flag in his hand for quite a while, walking around with it as the fans kept a close eye. It was obvious right away on the big screens it was at the very least worth the review, and almost definitely a touchdown. But Bill milked the timeout and waived the red flag like a football matador. The fans grew louder as he paced the sidelines. I really think he was whipping them up on purpose.

 

Then, at the very last second, the nonchalantly throws the flag as the crowd erupts into as much noise as I ever have heard at a Panthers regular season game.

Meh. Southern fans are laid back, whereas it doesn't take much to push someone from the northeast over the edge. It take more than a cheating coach's challenge flag to get us riled up.

Minor league baseball games in the south are virtually silent until A.) the pitcher's performance requires heckling or B.) the alcohol sinks in

As much as I hate the patriots I respect Bill Belichick because the hard work and attention to detail. You can call him a cheater all you like but he is always successful and hasn't had a loosing record in how long?

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
