New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addresses the media during his conference call on Tuesday, September 16, 2008. BB: We are digging through the Miami stuff here today. Of course, seeing them play against the Jets last week gave us a little bit of a head start on them. We are so familiar with the Jets that it's a good comparison to see how they match up against a team that we just played, a team that we are familiar with in our division. [There are] a lot of new faces [and] new schemes at Miami. The coaches are a little bit different than what we've seen from them recently. We have a lot of preparation to do.

Assuming you did work, what did you see in him? BB: We did a little bit on him but not a whole lot. Of course, he was signed early. Even right there at the end it never really came down to it. We knew that he made an agreement with the Dolphins. He's a very physical left tackle. You look at some guys for example, last week we played against [D'Brickashaw] Ferguson who would be a very athletic left tackle. [Jake] Long is relative to Ferguson, [but] is a lot bigger and physical player. He may not be as quick or athletically gifted, but he is a much bigger and much more physical guy. He could probably move over and play right tackle as well. I think that when he was drafted, he looked familiar and similar in Bill's [Parcells] eyes to a guy like Jumbo Elliott in that same k... Less
