Early last month, as his team readied for its first game, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked if he already knew what kind of team he had.
"I don't think you really know your team until the middle of October," the usually unquotable coach said, adding that, "you'll see a lot of movement, a lot of adjustments in the first third of the season."
Yesterday morning, after tinkering around with his lines and defensive pairings yet again, second-year Flyers coach Dave Hakstol was asked if he thought this applied to his sport, and his team.
