āWhat I learned from coach Belichick was real simple -- be flexible within your personnel,ā Judge said at his press conference. āDonāt try to shove round pegs into square holes. Figure out what you have. Let them play to their strengths. Donāt sit in a meeting and tell me what you donāt have in a player. Donāt tell me they canāt do a certain thing. Tell me what they can do, and then weāll figure out as coaches -- because thatās our job -- how we can use that. Thatās our responsibility. "Everybody has something they can do. How may castoffs do you see around the league that end up on another team and everyone says, āWow, howād they get that out of him?ā Maybe they were just closing their eyes to what they could do. As a coaching staff, when we get assembled, we have to make sure weāre sitting down, weāre patient with our players, we fully evaluate them, we find out what they can do to be an asset, and then weāre not foolish enough to not use that.ā Joe Judge
