Coach belichick enters room

Hello everyone, Ill start off by saying that im actually happy for a change to actually see you cause it means that i can take a break from all this offseason crazy mess. We said from the start of the offseason we were going to build our team and organization top from bottom with a certain profile. We have added young talent speed guys that we feel can help us towards that goal. We felt it was important to improve our line. If Aj is to have any success with our team a strong line is very important. We will continue to make improvements where we best see fit. At this point we will open up the floor for any questions.

Coach....

What was going on that made one of the premiere quarterbacks such as Tom Brady, in his prime, expendable? What does A.J. Feeley bring to the Patriots that Tom Brady did not? Last Question....How has this trade effected the way the offense will run?

Coach: The answer to your question can be seen within your last question. How has this trade effected the way the offense will run? Talented players like Tom brady never become expendable. Every team in the league can use a Tom brady. However, when there is opportunity to spread a player like Tom brady value talent wise and bring in a solid vet like A.j , and also pick up a high draft pick which basically became reggie bush... you have to see how that opportunity allows you to become a better team. The profile of this team will be focused towards a balance offense. We respect what Tom gave to this team and organization. With that said, we strongly feel that Aj can do a solid job for this team and that the additions of players that came from Tom brady's trade will allow us to be a better overall team. When that day come when Tom brady decides to retire... We will still be the New England patriots. This organization will be a a sum of its entire parts, and not a product of one single player.

Was your strategy to get rid of your icons for players that were just as good? Or did you not like players like Cory Dillon, Eugene Wilson to name a few.

Coach: By no means would we ever try to get rid of top talented players. However, if an opportunity comes for us to fill multilpe positions with good talent using a high end player, we will do that. In the end we hope to build a solid team. We do feel that the addition of young talents like reggie bush, we as a team are more versatile and dangerous. Reggie allows us to spilt our backs in slot and SE position. That latitude was not present with the profile of former players on the roster.
