“The coaches are tired,” Belichick said. “The players are tired, but we’re going to have a short week during the season. We’ve got a Sunday-Thursday game (week) during the season. That’s what training camp is for. It’s to suck it up. It’s to be mentally tough in whatever situations you have. You’re tired. You’re sore. You didn’t get enough sleep. You travel. Whatever it is, you block that out and you focus on what you can control, which is your performance and your effort. You go out there, and you work through it, as a team and individually. That’s the way it’s going to be during the season. “There’s going to be plenty of weeks during the season that somebody is going to be tired. Somebody is going to be sore. Some position is going to be a little short on numbers or whatever it is, and you build your toughness and your resiliency and those type of things through training camp. And it serves you well during the season. Then you look back during the season and say, ‘You know what? Maybe this isn’t really that bad. We went through a lot tougher stretch than this in camp.’ (You have) the confidence you can do it. I’m not really worried about that. These guys came to camp in good condition. We’ve had a good camp. They’ve worked hard. We’re going to put a challenge in front of them, and I expect them to meet it.”
