Be it 4th and 2 vs. Indianapolis or taking a knee against Baltimore, the wide range of options he observes is staggering.
When watching Baltimore totally botch their season, Bill Belichick sat and watched, and he decided not to ice the kicker.
He saw that the Ravens were rushing, so why coach Baltimore for them, if their own head coach can’t see all the confusion and rushing?
Sometimes not doing something is actually doing something. Non action for action, figure that one out.
Belichick skins a cat a thousand ways and then some. If you want to single out what makes Bill Belichick think, you have to look at what the situation is now, anything else is too far in the future. Taking the most current play, making the right choice and being prepared for it.
It’s an uncanny knack for running a football team; the suddenness of a release of a player to a play call in the biggest game of the year.
He has the thick skin to use his now famous hubris to rail reporter’s questions, reducing them to one word answers.
The ground to cover is huge and he does it well. Many try to question his drafting, but how can you when you go 14-2 and 13-3. He’s in the Super Bowl now and people can’t even get on him for that.
All the Patriots detractors will scream “Belicheat”, but he doesn’t care, they yell spygate and he just moves on. He’s the Teflon don of the NFL.
