Bill Belichick Conference Call Transcript

Q: According to last year’s statistics, Carolina led the league in read-option plays. Has going against other read-option teams already this year helped you in your preparation for Monday night’s game?

BB: I think our exposure to it going all the way back to Philadelphia in preseason, working against the Eagles and of course we saw some of it last year, especially against San Francisco. We knew coming into the season this was going to be an area we needed to make sure that we had enough defense for and we spent enough time so our players understood their different responsibilities with this type of offense.
