    Patriots coach Bill Belichick weighed in on the Dolphins today, in advance of Sunday’s game in New England. And as always, he made them sound like a perennial powerhouse.

    But in between all the plaudits, he gave a few insightful answers, including this about where specifically Ryan Tannehill has improved:

    “I’d say overall he looks like he’s much better at seeing the field and using all of his players in the passing game whereas maybe last year I think there were times where it seemed like he was more locked in to either one side or one guy. Now, I think his vision has definitely improved, his accuracy, particularly on the outside throws.

    Generally speaking, Belichick is so full of sh** when it comes to talking about other teams that you should smell him a mile away, Brady's the same. Boy does he put it on thick- one of the few, or maybe the only, thing that he said which was negative in this b.s. fest was that Tannehill tended to lock on to a receiver or a side last year. When Bellichick says that in one of his bi-yearly butter-up-the-opponent fests, you know that it has to be true, a given. Otherwise he wouldn't say it and risk the insult and motivation of his opponent.

    This is a classic:

    On the struggling o-line: “Look, everybody has plays that they’d like to have back that aren’t perfect, but I think overall those guys have given them, that offensive line has given them a solid level of performance.” OK then.

    What a complete load of crap, I wonder if Belichick laughs about these interviews when he gets home at night. Being respectful is one thing, but he plays opponent for fools to a certain extent. It's smart, he tries to diffuse motivation by complimenting and propping up opponents, but I can't help feeling that he's passive aggressively obnoxious. He takes it too far, Brady too, because they come across as generally insincere, as liars. In short, imo, they cross the line from being respectful of opponents to becoming flat out b.s. slingers. Maybe slinging too much b.s. is the cause of Brady's shoulder being on the injury report every week. "Probable".

    We only had Hartline and Bess on the outside last season. Matthews was used sparingly around the end of the season. Fasano at TE was usually a 6th blocker. So yeah, Tannehill was definitely looking for Hartline or Bess each game... lol...

    Translation: "Please don't make any changes that would prevent us from killing Tannehill."

    Can't wait to see what Rex has to say about the Fins when we face the stej... ;-)

    It's Patronizing, but it's not a bad way to prepare.

    Well... Philbin said earlier in the week that we need to be perfect to beat the Pats. We should have that mindset for every game.

    I don't think even he knows what he is going to say until he says it. FWIW, he's been better this year.

    Yes, I think the past few season's of eating crow; beaks, talons, and all, has weakened his normally blustery constitution... :yes:

    For his BS, as a Jets fan, I still want him as the coach. His clock management is abysmal, but I think he does a good job everywhere else. It will be interesting to see if he survives the off-season. If he becomes available, and doesn't land a HC job, what a steal it would be if you guys got him as DC. Just think of what he could do with your personnel. Damn.

    I'd take Rex. I've always thought he was a defensive genius, unlike his twin, and I like that he shoots from the hip and wears his heart on his sleeve, when he addresses the media or is interviewed. Supposedly, he was the Tuna's 2nd choice to the Pizza man as our head coach in 2008. I wish the Tuna would have went with his second choice.

    I hate saying this, however Rex Ryan always seems to get the best out of his players. I do not think this Jets team should be 4-3. I think talent wise, especially with a rookie quarterback they could be a 1-6 team. However Rex Ryan always has his players playing hard and solid.

    Anyone who can take Mark Sanchez and get one game away from the Super Bowl is impressive. I would be excited if he became Miami's defensive coordinator. Jets would be fools to let him go.

    Their GM, they might consider getting a new one.

    I agree, though I keep this heresy to myself.

    Poor guy hasn't even been on the job a year yet! You must be thinking of Tannenbaum, and they canned him after last season. Idzick is new and had a decent first draft.

    Yeah. He took the heat for last year and the Tebow disaster. Thrown under the bus.
