Dude hung around after everyone else left. Sean didn’t like it and escorted him off the field.

Old news.

Kind of makes you think how the Pats are winning games all the times especially when they all of a sudden come from behind and keep scoring and opponent can't stop them. A Pats staff member hanging around watching.

Watching warm ups is the secret? I think the game film all coaches watch would be where answers are found.

This is so dumb. If you’re gonna be doing stuff in pregame that you don’t want the other team to see then you are a damn idiot.

[Moo Daeng]

I don't think they can get anything from warmups. However, I do not blame McDermott for wanting them off their field if that is not accepted.

[Tbe]

Maybe they are scouting for concealed injuries. If you know a guy is limited in some way, you can go after that weakness. It happens all the time.

[Mr. Scot]

Yeah. Wouldn't necessarily expect a lot from watching warmups.

With that said, a certain level of paranoia is warranted when you're playing Belichick.

Actually, make that a high level of paranoia.

Yeah I’d be paranoid about Bellicheat too, but for the life of me I can’t figure what advantage could be gained. Better safe than sorry I guess.

Me neither, but honestly if I were in McDermott's position I'd probably be checking my shirt lapels for listening devices.

I wouldn’t be concerned about watching the warm ups..

now eavesdropping on conversations...that is different. I have heard a lot of game chatter pregame on the sidelines.

Mangini who worked with BB for years said regarding this topic that teams will run through formations they run during the game in pregame and the Pats like to watch to see if there is anything new they haven’t seen on tape or if someone is lining up in a different place than where they normally would. They can also see who might be the backup at some positions when guys are rotated through.

Not really anything groundbreaking but it is some more information you can use to your advantage so you aren’t caught off guard. But again if you are showing your secrets during pregame where 70k people can watch you then you’ve got bigger problems. Like great you got 2 people off the field, did you account for someone in the booth or the media who might tweet it out?

[Mr. Scot]

I have a feeling that if anybody ever does turn "state's evidence" on Belichick, we're gonna learn that stuff like filming walkthroughs and jamming helmet radios was just the tip of a very large iceberg.
