During his weekly look on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” Bill Belichick says he’s not too involved with the frenzy over not formally naming an offensive coordinator or acknowledging a play-caller.
And though Matt Patricia has been calling performs within the preseason, Belichick as soon as once more described the method as being a collaborative effort. In the top, although, the buck stops with him.
“We have jobs to do. Our staff works well together. There are a lot of people that are involved in all three phases of the game. Ultimately, I’m responsible for all of it,” he stated. “If you want to ask who’s in charge, that would be me. I have the final say in every area. That’s the way it’s been. And I don’t really see that changing.”
Belichick stated that regardless of who’s calling the performs, there’s at all times been a operating dialogue between the coaches.
“I’m not going to take anything away from Charlie (Weis) or Josh (McDaniels), or Billy O’Brien, or anybody. That’s not the point,” he stated, referring to previous offensive coordinators. “No matter who the play-caller is in any area, offense, defense or special teams, there are other people who are a part of that.”
Belichick then defined how former offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia additionally had enter within the operating recreation and protections, whereas the receiver coaches have enter on the routes referred to as based mostly on coverages.
Ultimately, the coaches huddle with the quarterback after every collection and go over the calls.
“When you see the coaches and players working on the sideline, that’s what we’re doing. We’re preparing to call the next series of plays and ultimately somebody will make the call,” stated Belichick. “As I said, I would have the final say on that. If there’s something I didn’t want to call, we wouldn’t call it. If there’s something I did want to call, we would call it.”
Belichick says he will get enter from all of the coaches, be it Nick Caley (tight ends), Troy Brown and Ross Douglas (receivers), Vinnie Sunseri (operating backs), and Joe (Judge).
“The communication of the offensive and defensive staffs is critical to any process, and ultimately who calls the plays,” he stated. “I’m not minimizing that, I’m not saying that but there’s a process. A lot of times the play caller makes plays based on the recommendations or information he’s received from other people on the staff. It’s a collaborative effort.”
Then the Patriots head coach added: “We’ll get ‘em called. Don’t worry about that. We’ll get ‘em called.”
