As he does every Monday morning, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick joined WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show following the team's 38-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
This time, it was after a defeat that buried them into a 1-3 hole - one that they now find themselves in for a third consecutive season.
Belichick was asked about the tough start to their 2023 campaign, and why Patriots fans should feel optimistic about the direction of this organization given their recent struggles:
“Well look, I’m just really concerned about doing the best job I can for our team and I’ll do that every week,” the head coach told the show. “That’s what I can control, that’s what I’m going to do. So that’s what I’m going to focus on.”
So why have the results not followed?
“We just weren’t able to play well enough,” Belichick explained. “We’ve played four games: three games we turned the ball over and lost, one game we didn’t turn the ball over and didn’t get sacked and won. I think we know what the formula is, we’ve just got to do a better job of it. Defensively and the kicking game there are things there too that we need to improve on. We didn’t really have a very good day in the kicking game and defensively there ar some things we can do better there too. What we can do is keep working hard, keep fighting, and improve in the areas we need improvement and that’s what we’re going to try to do.”
The Patriots continue on next Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in Foxborough.
Belichick also spoke about the weapons surrounding quarterback Mac Jones, his confidence, and more on Monday’s edition of The Greg Hill Show. You can listen to the full interview here.
