Tom Brady meets Bill Belichick at least every Tuesday and Saturday during the season to prepare for the next game. They talk about plays he likes, go over the game plan, discuss corrections that need to be made from the previous game.
That’s around 40 meetings per year, multiplied by a lot of years to equal hundreds and hundreds of hours, just the two of them in Belichick’s office.
