Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots coach, in a television interview said that he was wrong about the rules of NFL regarding prohibition of filming the opponent signals and added that there was no intention to hide what they were doing. But, this statement was not accepted by Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner, and he fined the coach for $ 500,000 and $ 250,000 for Patriots and the draft picks of first- round. Belichick said that the former video assistant Matt Walsh was to blame for the activity. Walsh said that he was coached to avoid NFL rules and was instructed by team officials about the ways to avoid exposure.

The New England Patriots have decided that it is pace and athletic skills in the defense that will help them propel in the upcoming season and have gone all out to sign as many as five picks for their defense in the third round of the draft pick. All this only means that the head coach of the Patriots Bill Belichick is fully endorsing the view that younger and faster players are the need of the hour. The Patriots have picked faster players like Jerod Mayo and Wheatley on Saturday and the trend seemed to continue on Sunday as well.

Jonathan White also caught the eyes of the coach in the fourth round and in between all these defensive signing, Bill picked Kevin O’Connell, a San Diego state quarterback, and is the only offensive player that Patriots have signed the whole of last week. So, Pat fans can expect next season to be full of thrills and athleticism.
