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.

My dad was a good competitor. I know he'd think I was a little off the charts.

Think of your favorite teacher you ever had in school: the one who made it the most fun to go to class. They surprise you. They keep you guessing. They keep you coming back, wanting to know whats going to happen next.

It's about us getting ready to play. It's not about the other team. We'll beat ourselves before they beat us. That's always our approach.

Of course we want to win every game, but winning forever is more about realizing your potential and making yourself as good as you can be. Realizing that is a tremendous accomplishment, whether it's in football or in life.

Every year, something happens, and it turns me in a direction about where I need to go and what I need to do to give these guys direction.

Relentless pursuit to find a competitive edge.
