point in the week? How come the Patriots are so tight-lipped when it comes to this kind of stuff?
Well, in an excellent article published Wednesday, Boston Herald beat man Michael Felger -- noting that "it irritates the media, frustrates fantasy players" -- conceded the iron-fisted manner in which Bill Belichick disseminates injury and lineup information certainly hasn''t won him any popularity contests.
But does it win him football games?"
And according to Felger, who almost certainly understands the situation as well as anybody, that''s the only question that really matters. And he further noted there is evidence to suggest that Belichick''s style often does give his team an edge. But there are also clear examples across the league of coaches who do it differently and still manage to win big.
Tampa''s Jon Gruden, who owns a Super Bowl ring, speaks openly and candidly about his team''s injuries every day he meets the media. Philadelphia''s Andy Reid, who has been to the last two NFC title games, routinely makes his team trainer available for comment while having an open-door policy with his coordinators. Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher, who has more wins (44) than any coach in the NFL the past four years, allows media to attend his practices.
"We''re at the opposite end (of the Patriots)," said Titans general manager Floyd Reese. "We''re at the point now where we''ll not only tell you what the player''s injury is, but we''ll give you his prognosis and all the possibilities. Our head coach sounds like a doctor most times. Jeff feels it''s important to get the information out -- so we get it out."
Well.... Kind of.
As forthcoming as he might be during press conferences, I''ll remind you that Fisher -- co-chairman of the NFL''s all-powerful Competition Committee -- has only listed one player as probable in the last four years. Otherwise, he''s rather conveniently listed everybody else as either questionable or out.
But Reese''s comment
