KNBR Conversation with former Ravens coach Brian Billick
An edited transcript of an interview with Brian Billick, winning coach of Super Bowl XXXV with the Baltimore Ravens:
How big of a loss is (Patriots tight end Rob) Gronkowski?
[...] that’ll ease some things, but even the New England Patriots have some doubts.
[...] our run defense was top two in the league and we didn’t turn the ball over; we were No. 1 in turnover differential just like Kansas City.
Fifty percent of Kansas City’s scoring comes from defense and special teams, so the question is, is that sustainable?
Do you think (Patriots head coach Bill) Belichick froze in that Super Bowl (XLIX in 2015) and let off all that time on the clock or did he intentionally do that?
Who in their right mind would not run Marshawn Lynch in that situation?
[...] that’s what Belichick was thinking.
[...] both made the right decision at the right time given the information, but because of a great play by (Malcolm Butler), Pete Carroll becomes the village idiot.
[...] with the time going down, Belichick just figured that it wasn’t going to make a difference.
