Bill Belichick Awkwardly Invokes Tom Brady After Question About Mac Jones

Bill Belichick went ahead and somehow invoked Tom Brady after a question about Mac Jones. The Patriots were able to keep on winning yesterday as they took care of the Tennesse Titans in week 13 of the NFL campaign. It was obvious that the better team on Sunday was the Patriots. Bill Belichick currently has the Patriots in the driver’s seat to the playoffs and is one of the league’s hottest teams. Mac Jones and the offense has been quite impressive so far this season, especially for a rookie.

But that has not stopped some people from asking questions about Tom Brady, even after a few years. This is what happened during an interview today. He was asked about Mac Jones and the offense and had an interesting and slightly awkward response.

Here is the question that he was asked by the radio interviewer.

Bill Belichick Awkwardly Invokes Tom Brady After Question About Mac Jones

“Bill, Mac looked great yesterday, only the second quarterback to throw for 300 yards against Tennessee in regulation. You look at Josh McDaniels and his gameplan for him. He seems to be bringing him along perfectly to really showcase his talent. Does Mac’s ability on the field make it easier for Josh to, kind of, gameplan better or bigger than, maybe, quarterbacks you’ve had in the past?”

Here is his short response.

“Make it easier to gameplan over Tom Brady? No.”

He did eventually go on to give a more in depth answer.

“Yeah, look, Josh does a great job on that, I’ve said that multiple times,” Belichick said. “Josh does a fantastic job of game planning, game-calling and in-game adjustments. I think, when you coach a team or when you coach a player, you don’t just sit there and think about, ‘Is he a rookie? And is he a second-year player? Is he a seventh-year player? Is he a ninth-year player?’ You just coach them to try and help them get better. And, you know, that’s a sliding scale. I understand that, that coaching a rookie’s not the same as coaching a 10-year veteran.”

“But, whatever that player — regardless of how many years he’s been in the league — whatever he can handle, whatever he can process, whenever you feel like you’re getting near the top, then you need to pull back a little bit until you’re comfortable with the level of information and volume that you’re teaching the player.”
