Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked repeatedly at his press conference today whether quarterback Mac Jones is a dirty player, and Belichick repeatedly chose not to answer directly.<\/p>\n
Just as he did on Wednesday, Belichick chose not to answer directly when asked directly about the perception that Jones is a dirty player, questions prompted by an illegal low block to Bengals cornerback Eli Apple.<\/p>\n
Belichick was first asked whether, in his experience, he thinks Jones is a dirty player.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not going to sit up here and comment about \u2014 we could go through the rest of our roster and ask the same questions,\u201d Belichick answered. \u201cI’m not going to get into any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was then asked a follow-up about why he wouldn’t make his opinion clear about Jones.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now my focus is on the Miami Dolphins. It’s not on some other game, some other play, some other year, what somebody else said or didn’t say,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cI don’t think about those things.\u201d<\/p>\n
As another follow-up question came, Belichick interrupted before the reporter could finish the question.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgain, I’m thinking about the Dolphins. That’s what I’m thinking about,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cWhatever it is, it is. Whatever was called, was called. That’s what it is and I’m onto the Dolphins.\u201d<\/p>\n
A final follow-up was asked: Could Belichick risk alienating Jones by refusing to defend him?<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a good relationship with all the players, I talk to all the players,\u201d Belichick said. \u201cI feel comfortable with my relationship with every player.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, Belichick’s press conference ended, without Belichick offering an opinion about whether his starting quarterback is a dirty player.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
