Bill Belichick 9/17: "Tough loss, but we have to learn from it"

Bill Belichick (0:00)

All right, not too much to say after that one.

Yeah, tough, tough loss. But got to learn from it, and just keep working harder and move on. So, it's really not too much to say.

SPEAKER_2 (0:25)

Bill, on the last play with Cole, did you get a good view of the play on how close Cole came, and did you get an explanation from the officials on what they saw to be able to overturn the call?

Bill Belichick (0:37)

Yeah, you should talk to the officials on the show, they'll do a pool report on that.

SPEAKER_3 (0:47)

Bill, what can the team learn from this game?

Bill Belichick (0:51)

We learn from every game. Learn from all of them.

SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

Seems like the slow starts are, you know, well, two games, but both games, slow starts. So what do you attribute that the slow starts?

Bill Belichick (1:11)

Can't turn the ball over.

SPEAKER_4 (1:19)

Bill, what went into the decision to keep Demarra Douglas off the field after his first quarter fumble?

Bill Belichick (1:28)

Yeah, we played all of our skilled players.

SPEAKER_4 (1:33)

I don't think we saw him take another offensive snap after that play.

Bill Belichick (1:36)

I mean, look, we had a lot of production on offense, so.

Parker had a good day, Chukahyak, Tseke had a good day, Hunter had a good day, Juju, KB, so, you know, a lot of good players. Can't play everybody.

SPEAKER_5 (1:53)

Bill, the Brendan Schuyler blocked field goal was perfectly timed. Was that a design thing? Did he come in from the sideline?

Was he flexed out? Because the TV camera didn't show where exactly he came from.

Bill Belichick (2:09)

Yeah, he timed it up and hit it well.

It really made a good play, man. Made a real good play on it.

SPEAKER_6 (2:20)

Bill, was the plan to not use Mario Douglas after the first half on offense?

Bill Belichick (2:29)

He returned punts.

SPEAKER_6 (2:30)

Well, on offense.

Bill Belichick (2:31)

We played all over, yeah, look.

We get to talk about this every week. There'll be somebody that played less than somebody else. We got a lot of skilled players.

SPEAKER_6 (2:38)

That seemed really, he didn't get on offense after the fumble, though. Final question.

SPEAKER_3 (2:55)

Bill, it seemed defensively, you guys sold out to kind of take away the D pass, and they didn't connect many deep ones, but underneath, how difficult was it controlling their speed with the underneath stuff tonight?

Bill Belichick (3:06)

Yeah, we could have done a better job on some of those. So yeah, man, I hit a few of them. This possession passes.

Good. Thank you.
