My overall knowledge of football specifications, the overall process that happens on game day with the footballs is very limited. I would say that during the course of the game, I honestly never - it probably has happened on an incomplete pass or something - but I've never touched a game ball. It's not something I have any familiarity with on that.

There is an old saying about the strength of the wolf is the pack, and I think there is a lot of truth to that. On a football team, it’s not the strength of the individual players, but it is the strength of the unit and how they all function together.

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

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.

I'm a football coach. I'm not a doctor ... They don't call plays, I don't do surgeries. We have a great deal here.

To me the footballs are approved by the league and game officials pregame and we play with what's out there. That's the only way that I have ever thought about that.

Tom's [Brady] personal preferences on his footballs are something he can take about in much better detail and information than I could possibly provide.
