I Coach Belichick on , Aug. 13 think he followed up last season with a good off-season and a I think Richard has [tipped as many passes and disrupted the good spring camp. He has taken it into training camp. He is a quarterback] as well as anybody. Year in and year out, he has very versatile player that played every position for us last year, tipped more balls than anybody around here and more than whether it was three wide receivers or four wide receivers. At anyone I have coached. He is tall and has long arms. He is one point or another he played in each spot. He is a guy that athletic, can jump and has a good sense of timing of when to try picks things up quickly. Quarterbacks have a lot of confidence in and get in the throwing lane, when to keep rushing the him. He has been a very dependable player for us. He is really a quarterback and attack the blocker. He is probably as good as key guy for us and was like that last year. you are going to get at that. Coach Belichick on Gary Guyton, Aug. 19 Coach Belichick on , Aug. 4 Gary was very productive for Georgia Tech. He played both Matthew is a smart kid. We have been working him at some inside and a little bit of outside. He was a pretty versatile player different spots since he has gotten here in all three phases of for them down there in terms of run defense, blitzing, pass the game. We will see how that all comes together but he is a coverage, inside, outside, played on the end of the line, played smart guy that has a good set of skills. on the center, played on the guard, at times he even played in the tackle bubble so he has had a lot of different experiences in Coach Belichick on Adalius Thomas, Aug. 13 college and I think some of that versatility has shown up here Adalius is a smart guy who works hard. He has played in for us both in the kicking game and on defense. multiple positions in our defense. He has a lot of experience from doing different things. I think he has really become one of Coach Belichick on Rodney Harrison, July 31 the leaders on defense, not that he wasn’t last year but more so He brings a level of play and intensity out there to the practice going into his second year. Going into his second year he knows field that is good for everybody. It is good for the defense, more of what he is doing as opposed to feeling like ‘I have to offense and for the entire football team. Nobody practices harder learn this and learn that.’ I am not saying he doesn’t have than Rodney. I don’t think, in my career, I have ever coached a anything to learn; we all have more to learn. He is a lot further player that practices any harder than Rodney practices on a daily ahead then he was last year. He really stepped up and gave a basis. He has a tremendous work ethic and is as good as lot of leadership and good work ethic to the entire unit. He has anybody I have been around, especially on the defensive side of done well and we are glad to have him. the ball. That carries over to other players and forces them to rise up to his level. It is good to have him back out there. Coach Belichick on David Thomas, Aug. 19 The bad news for David [Thomas] was ’07. The good news was Coach Belichick on , Aug. 4 he really got off to a good start in ’08. Kind of getting off to a I don’t know where we would be without [Russ's versatility]. good start, he’s been able to maintain that momentum and the Russ is one of the most solid and consistent players we have on start there in the spring has carried over in the training camp our team. He is really the same guy everyday, whether it be and the preseason … David works hard. He works hard at practice, games, preseason or postseason, the first quarter, or everything. He’s a very competitive kid. He’s smart. He knows the fourth quarter – it doesn’t matter. He is a very consistent how to use his strengths, leverage and position to his and dependable guy. advantage. He competes hard. He has good playing strength Coach Belichick on LaMont Jordan, Aug. 12 and good quickness. He has done a good job with that. Every player has their own set of skills. I think LaMont has a Coach Belichick on Ray Ventrone, Aug. 7 good set. He is a powerful guy, has some quickness and catches Ray is a very competitive guy and a tough kid. He plays in all the ball wall. He has good speed, he is not a track guy, but he three phases, offense, defense and special teams. He works has competitive speed, good quickness and can get through the hard, tough kid and he’s a pretty good football player. He’s got a hole. He breaks tackles. He has some things going for him. good set of skills, has some quickness, speed, he’s tough, he’s a Coach Belichick on Jerod Mayo, Aug. 12 smart player who is instinctive and he’s shown up positively for Jerod [Mayo] is a smart kid and has worked hard. From day one us in a number of different roles and in different games. It’s a when we drafted him to rookie minicamp and spring camp he real credit to him, his work ethic, his toughness. has done a good job. He is a very mature kid and a hard worker. Coach Belichick on Pierre Woods, July 27 Football is important to him and he spends a lot of time on it. He Pierre [Woods] is one of our hardest workers and one of our makes a lot of rookie mistakes but he learns from them and most diligent players. He works hard at his job and tries to do doesn’t repeat many of them. everything right, just the way you want it.
