INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri knows all too well what it's like to play for Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick.
There was a point during Vinatieri's rookie season with the New England Patriots in 1996 when Parcells told the kicker that he was "week-to-week" with the franchise because he was so inconsistent.
Vinatieri knows about Belichick's thoroughness -- not only with game planning and execution on the field, but also with players knowing everything about their teammates and coaches -- after playing under him for five seasons in New England, including three Super Bowl titles.
