We know that the Patriots will go to Miami five days before playing the Dolphins. Before the game starts, the Patriots won't know what the Dolphins will give them.
Bill Belichick, the coach of the New England Patriots, seemed to like that.
For everything, that is the $64,000 question, Belichick told reporters on Sunday. Opening day always occurs. In the preseason, nobody is displaying much. On Sunday, all of the cards will be on the table. We'll have to adjust, just like in the first game. Once we observe what they are doing, we may do the same. It's always been that way.
"Therefore, you must make room for a small amount of the unknown, things that they have been developing but haven't yet demonstrated. Or challenges specifically designed for you in the game but that you have previously encountered. They have had several months to prepare for the game, just as we have. There is a lot that is unknown. All of that, in my opinion, will become obvious during the first two to three weeks of the season as teams get used to the playing style they intend to rely on. But as of now, it may not be known. It's difficult to predict how some of each team's top players will be used because of the league-wide low playing time for these players, but we do know which players they will start. We'll have to wait and see.
The Dolphins will, of course, have the same difficulty as Belichick gets ready to unleash whatever strategies he has planned for Miami and the other teams on the schedule.
According to Belichick, the start of the season and opening day are always exciting. "That brings up a lot of interesting topics for discussion. It just means concentrating on one opponent, whatever that means, after all the preparation you did during the offseason and training camp as players, staff, and everyone else involved. You simply direct it there, and that has a variety of effects, but the main goal is to do well on the one occasion each week when we have the chance to compete, which is what we will all want to achieve. Therefore, I believe that we are all excited about the possibility and ready for it to finally arrive. The same as every other year. There are two time periods—a training phase and a competitive period—and we are now entering the competition period. So it slightly alters the situation for the better.
It significantly alters things in a fantastic way for fans. Nine games will begin at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday when football returns and Patriots vs. Dolphins is only one of them.
Three hours later, nine of those clubs will be ecstatic, while supporters of the remaining nine teams will be furious.
