As a football coach, Bill Belichick has always been praised as a student of the game. His analysis of his team has often been exactly on point for the Patriots during the team’s run of success.
One thing Belichick is not, according to the coach himself, is someone who will analyze nightmares.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday ahead of Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff game against the Chargers, Belichick offered a memorable quote in response to defensive end Trey Flowers’s Monday anecdote.
As Flowers described the day before, he had a dream about a very specific football task for defensive ends (setting the edge), only it devolved into a nightmare.
