Bill Belichick is the best professional football coach I think ever lived. I'm upset that I played for a plethora of teams and never got an opportunity to play for Bill Belichick.
I've always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I've always said is the best coach in the history of the league.
I think it's an honor to play for coach Belichick. You never go into a week thinking you are not prepared.
I really admire the job that not just coach Belichick has done but that Robert Kraft and his family have done, and the decisions that they made to let Bill do what he's capable of doing. I think it's a great illustration of a way to structure an NFL organization when you let the coach really run the thing.
Belichick, I recognize the fact this is a Hall of Fame coach. He'll go down in history as maybe the greatest football coach in the history of this game, or going to be close to it.
When Coach Belichick comes up to you during a game and says something to you, that's great.
Bill Belichick was probably the most organized coach that I've ever been involved with.
It's amazing, the culture Coach Belichick has been able to create in our system.
I think my admiration is really for Belichick more than anything. As a coach, that's the guy. He'll go down as probably the best in the history of the game. I like poking fun at him and all that stuff, but there's no coach I respect more than him.
At the end of the day, Coach Belichick does a great job of bringing in people he knows that will fit well.
Someone like coach Belichick, with the success that he's had and sustained it for so long. He's obviously seen a lot of good football players.
I love listening to Coach Belichick's press conferences: even though they may not be what the media wants, they're great coaching, teaching tools.
I think any player would tell you when you've got a coach that believes in you and you don't have to be looking over your shoulder after every play you do, and you can just go out and play, that's the coach you want to have on your team.
I love Bill Belichick. He is a great coach, great man - raising men to do the right thing and win championships in this league.
The pessimistic coach complains about the play. The optimistic coach expects it to change. The realistic coach adjusts what he can control.
I don't know how many more times I'll be in New England again. But I leave coach Belichick and those guys with a salute: 'I love you guys. I miss you. I'm out.'
