Bill Belichick Press Conference Transcript

Here’s an interesting bit from today. I always think development and experience in the system is underrated when judging how much a player, or unit, can improve in an offseason.

Q: From last season to this season, what have you seen from Steve Gregory that you feel has improved?

BB: Steve has been a pretty solid guy for us, all the way through on defense and in the kicking game. Smart, very well-prepared, instinctive player. I think the biggest thing for him is it’s another year in the system, another year of working with his teammates – linebackers, communication, with the safeties, that communication, corners. I think he understands everything we do and he has a great handle on it. A lot of things he’s done before in his career. I think it’s just the communication, the timing, the execution, disguises, reads, all those things with his teammates. I think the improvement is more with the group. I think individually he has a good handle on things.
