Bill Belichick looks to be in midseason form already, and training camp hasn’t even started.
According to ESPN.com, via Bryan Tyms, the Patriots offense wasn’t keeping up with their usual quick pace, so Belichick made everyone, including the coaches take a jog.
“It was a miscommunication and you have to move fast because that’s our offense – fast-paced,” wide receiver Brian Tyms said, according to ESPN.com. “You’re trying to pick up the pace so the defense can’t see what we’re doing. We didn’t move fast enough and we have to be able to communicate in even the harshest of situations; when everybody is dead-tired and has nothing left, you still have to be able to communicate with each other and execute.”
“That’s what it takes to win. That’s what I’ve been taught. We won a Super Bowl like that — we’re all as one, it’s never one person. There are no ‘me’ people on this team and if there are, they will be gone before the season starts. It takes everybody collectively to work together and for us to accomplish the ultimate goal, which is the Super Bowl. It took everybody to win that Super Bowl. … If you had nothing to do with that in the huddle, it doesn’t matter. Everybody runs.”
I think everyone got the message.
