Bill Belichick Responds How COVID-19 Been Impacting On Cam Newton

There are some questions as to whether or not his bout with the COVID-19 virus has impacted Cam Newton play. The Patriots are definitely not looking very good so far this season. For the first couple of weeks, the Patriots were looking pretty impressive. Sadly, this has gone downhill since and has not looked very good going forward.

Bill Belichick talked about what the Patriots were starting to do to get back on track. But has it worked?

“Today’s an important day in our preparation for the Broncos,” Belichick said. “We’ve had several days now of virtual meetings between the staff members and from the staff to the players. We’ve been able to cover a lot of things, but we haven’t spent any time together, so today’s our opportunity to do that. We look forward to that. One thing that we’ve learned this year repeatedly has been we have to be ready to adjust and adapt to changes and modifications and the way we do things and, in some cases, decisions that really come down to a very short amount of time that we have to be ready to adjust to.”

“So we’re certainly taking things day by day — probably hour by hour would be more accurate. We’ll just see how we progress and then as we find out more on our end, or if there are other things externally that we can’t control that, then we’ll deal with those as they come. That’s the way it’s been all year. I think our team and our players have done a good job of handling those adjustments, and we’ll continue to do that.”

But now Belichick was asked if Newton’s battle with the COVID virus has had an impact on his play. He had a very interesting response to this question. Take a look at what he had to say.

“I don’t think so,” Belichick said in his video press conference. “I don’t think that there’s any — I mean, we would have listed it on the injury report if there was — but I don’t think he’s had any symptoms the whole way.”

What do you think about what he had to say? Do you think it could have impacted his play on the field?
