Holy hoodie, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t contemplate this question before. Thought usually it’s more in the context of asking him something at a Friday press conference.
If it was just him and me, mano a mano, I think I’d like to really get him to in-depth on is modern defensive strategy. How he chooses his defensive front each week, what he looks to take away, what he looks to attack, who two-gaps, what he’s willing to give up to gain. That kind of stuff because really those are kind of the great unknowns with BB and what makes him special.
If I had to condense it down to the Friday press conference version I’d ask about the rise of importance of a third defensive end or designated pass rusher. He’s commented how the third cornerback, the slot guy, is essentially a starter now, so I’d like to know how he views that extra pass rusher. In the past this isn’t the kind of role player the Pats put a lot of value in, but since Mark Anderson in 2011 it’s kind of grown a bit.
The gossip stuff doesn’t really interest me. The guy’s one of the greatest football minds ever, so I’d want to ask him about football.
