Bill Belichick Press Conference Transcript

Q: Have you slid defensive ends over to defensive tackle for a few years now, or when is the first time you saw that?

BB: As far back as I can remember. In Cleveland we did it with Rob Burnett. He probably had more production inside than he did outside, and he had a lot of production outside too. So how far is that? 20 years ago? We’ve done it with plenty of people around here. When you’re in a 3-4 defense, you usually take your defensive ends and move them inside. If you’re in a 4-3 defense, a lot of times you just get your better pass rushers out there on the field. If one of your outside guys can move inside and be productive in there, then I think you see a lot of teams of that. I don’t think it’s anything that’s revolutionary or that big a deal to us or any other teams in the league. But like I said, I can remember doing that back in Cleveland with Rob Burnett. Those guys can do a good job sometimes moving inside on guards with their quickness and their pass rush skills, when they don’t really have to play the run on a lot of those situations. They can just rush and you can get a third guy in there, that’s really three ends. It gives you better speed, better athleticism, better pass rushers on the field – if that’s the situation.

“Had a good day today,” he said. “Had a good practice, ran around, made some plays and looking forward to Sunday, so we’ll see.” Does that mean he’ll play? “Had a good day today, so we’ll see what tomorrow’s like and go from there,” Amendola replied.

What does he do with the notes? “I usually transfer them so it would be notes after the game,” he explains. “Maybe it’s a communication between the coaches we need to talk about or some substitution where something happened. Something you won’t see on film because it’s not a film play, it’s something that happened on the sideline or press box. Maybe we missed something on a play from the press box. We write it down and talk about how we need to correct it. Sometimes it’s a halftime thing, sometimes it’s a day after the game thing. I just then have a record of it.”

This is what scares me, Bernard especially vs. the sub defense.

I don’t know how you don’t attack the interior of the Patriots defense after the loss of Vince Wilfork. I think you have to recognize what type of scheme Bill Belichick will come up with in the first series – will he use Joe Vellano at defensive tackle, will he use Chris Jones? Do they line up in a 3-4 and just send Brandon Spikes in running-down situational plays, almost as a defensive lineman into the line of scrimmage. With A.J. Green on the outside and the running game on the inside, it’s a good combination for the Bengals. Green-Ellis is that downhill-type runner who can exploit the loss of Wilfork. This defense knows how hard he runs, the lower-body strength he has, the balance and how he can turn a 2-yard run into a 4- or 5-yard gain just based on his strength, balance and how he runs with forward lean. And Bernard is the change-of-pace running back, but he can also hit the hole or take it outside.
