Each decision will be done on a case-by-case basis and we'll make the decision we feel is best for the New England Patriots football team.

Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It's part of the process.

I'm sure that any current or past player of mine would tell you that the balls we practice with are as bad as they can be: wet, sticky, cold, slippery. However bad we can make them, I make them. Any time that players complain about the quality of the footballs, I make them worse and that stops the complaining.

If you sit back & spend too much time feeling good about what you did in the past, you're going to come up short next time

I was out of the country for a period of time but followed everything closely through other people in our organization and we've made the decisions that we felt were right for the football team and we'll continue to do that and be as diligent as we can going forward.

You can play hard. You can play aggressive. You can give 120% but if one guy is out of position then someone is running through the line of scrimmage and he is going to gain a bunch of yards.

The less versatile you are, the better you have to be at what you do well.
