Bill Belichick knows something about NFL quarterbacks and offenses.
He made a career of being a defensive coordinator, and it provided him the opportunity to be a head coach in Cleveland and New England.
During a broadcast of his television show, “Coach,” with guest Michael Lombardi (ML), Belichick gave glowing praise for the Commanders 2024 season, particularly Jayden Daniels and Kliff Kingsbury.
Here is a portion of the dialog.
ML: “It just shows you the magic of a young quarterback who’s willing to do the time and work hard.”
BB: “Which we all know he is a hard-working kid.”
BB: “You have to give a lot of credit to Kliff Kingsbury. He’s done a good job with that offense, run the ball, a bit more patient with the running game, maybe than what he was in Arizona.”
BB: “And Daniels has made some plays on his own. He still throws the ball outside the numbers a lot, he still scrambles and can make plays with his legs. I think the teams that are playing him, have to figure out, ‘This isn’t just another quarterback, we gotta play him the right way’. ”
BB: “But so far, he has done a lot of damage in the National Football League.”
Here is a video clip of the segment.
Belichick began coaching in the NFL at the age of 23, was a member of the NY Giants defensive coaching staff from 1979-90, the Cleveland Browns head coach 1991-95, the New York Jets defensive coordinator 1997-99, and the New England Patriots head coach 2000-23.
