Steve Belichick talked to the media Over May 16th and 17th. There was about thirty minutes of talking with not a lot of information coming out over the those two days. Which people should be used to by now. Here's some key take aways from his two interviews.
Tom Curran got Steve Belichick to say. "We'll have to shoot our shot and see how it goes," when Steve was agreeing that the current defense isn't as experienced as units from the previous seasons.
Steve Belichick was asked about the outside linebacker position and he said he likes guys thay "complement each other," and that they must have a good work ethic and love of the "game."
When asked about McGrone Steve said He hasn't missed a step even thought he"s been injured. He was also asked over the two days about Ronnie Perkins, Josh Uche and a few others. He really didn't say much about anyone of the others.
On Monday Steve said he "doesn't know" what his role is this year and he "doesn't really care." He's just gonna coach. His answer came off sincere.
Steve was asked if they're starting to prepare for the other teams now that the schedule was out. His answer was right now the staff is focused on coaching up the talent and not the other teams.
Steve was asked about what roles his father was going to have this season. Steve said his father does everything but to what degree this season "I don't know," and that "you have to adapt or die around here." Steve also implied that as part of the staff one has to know all phases of the game, not just what one coaches.
Steve was asked about if he was going to be the defensive coordinator in 2022. He replied, "I don't know, if I am great. If not..." Again, Steve seemed sincere in his answer. When it comes to the D.C. it's fair to assume Bill is keeping them in the dark at the moment or at least hasn't told them anything different from last season.
Then Steve was asked about Joe Judge and Steve said Joe's good with "fundamentals" and "evaluations," Steve than rambled for a bit. Steve went on to say personally that after a decade with the team, Steve's still developing, "growing" as a coach.
There are nuggets of information buried in the "Patriots way" answers that Steve gave. For the most part it's up to interpretation of what's said. As much as Steve knows what's going on, there seems to be just as much he doesn't seem to know about what the organization is doing. There's a saying, the less one knows the better. And for Bill, by not giving his staff the full information, it gives him power and allows him to keep the peace in the building.
