I love coaching Tom,” Belichick said. “We spend a considerable amount of time together, and I think that’s important to have that relationship between the head coach and the quarterback, so at least we’re on the same page with what we’re trying to do. "He has great feedback. Nobody works harder or prepares better than Tom does. He’s about as good as it gets in that category, with a lot of great ideas. He’s a very smart, experienced player, obviously, and does a great job executing the team game plan.
