Bellicheck is also known for gambling on character concerns and aging veterans. His ability to let players go and bring in potential risks all stems from having arguably the greatest football player of all time in Tom Brady. When your a perennial contender with 4 super bowl rings, it's easy to take low risk high reward players, or simply not resign sole players that may cost more than what he wants to pay for them. Something Bellicheck is a master of is adapting to his surroundings. Something a lot of coaches don't do. Bradley is a prime example of this, not adapting or adjusting the defense when a clear lack of talent to run the scheme was in display.


Bellechick can take these risks and if they work out, then they milk them till they ar dry, if they don't work out, they simply let them go. Having Brady is the ultimate back bone and their ability to adjust to their surroundings makes them such a great team. Back during the undefeated run, they threw the deep ball with Moss, then they had the two TE system with Gronk and Hernandez and now the short throws with the smaller WR.
