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.

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.

The only thing I can cheer for in Philadelphia is the national anthem.

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've learned a lot about the process. I had no idea how the balls got from the officials locker room down on the field and so forth and so on and all of that. That's not something I have ever thought or concerned myself about [on] game day. I've concerned myself with preparing and coaching the team.

We never use the condition of the footballs as an excuse. We play with whatever or kick with whatever we have to use and that's the way it is.

Some guys, football comes really easy to them; they can see what all 22 players are doing, can see what all 11 guys are doing on their side of the ball, how it all fits together. It's easy for them.
