Man how true a statement from him on the HBO documentary, and how spot on that is for this team and JG..both he and Saban spoke at length about this fact, and all I could think about is how many times that could be said about the Boys
Was it the Bill & Bill documentary?
The 30 for 30 Bill & Bill was terrific. Hearing the thought process of Belichick was terrific.
His mentality reminds me of golf legends like Nicholas and Ben Hogan. They would grind away practicing all areas of their game.
Nicholas reportedly hit 1000 balls per day on the range in his early years.
Hogan had his caddy put a towel on the ground as hit target. He would start with a wedge and move up one club at a time with the caddy moving the towel each time he changed clubs. He wouldn't move to the next club until he had hit the towel multiple times. His instructional book that became popular showed an incredible attentional to detail.
There were non-grinders that had success for periods of time but most peaked and faded.
Meanwhile Garrett was seen at Basketball games during the bye week.
Belichick probably works more hours than any coach on the Cowboys staff even now after all of his success.
I can just see Belichick spending 10 hours straight watching film and then go running down the hall excited because he noticed that the upcoming opponent's QB moves his pinky finger by 1 inch on the ball when it going to be a run vs when it's going to be a pass...
Meanwhile when the Cowboys coaching staff was asked in training camp what they learned from reviewing the game film of the playoff loss to the Rams, the answer was "We tossed that film. We just want to move on. No need to review it".
