PHOENIX - Put Bill Belichick behind a microphone and hes C-SPAN — minus the information. Reid Ferguson Jersey .Pete Carroll is more like a Lifetime movie. Or, as defensive lineman Michael Bennett puts it, He has that Benjamin Button effect on everyone.The Super Bowl coaches approach their obligations to the public and media from opposite ends. Belichick, coaching for his fourth championship in New England, is dry, offers little to no insight and rarely makes anyone laugh. Carroll, looking for his second straight title, is a high-fiving, fist-bumping extrovert who started one of his news conferences this week with a welcoming, Whats up?!?Different styles have produced similar results, though.Belichick is making his sixth Super Bowl appearance as a head coach and his Patriots are as close as there is to a dynasty in the current NFL. Carrolls team is being mentioned as a possible dynasty, as well, and that notion will only gain steam if the Seahawks win Sunday and become the first back-to-back champions since, who else?, New England in 2003-04.Dissimilar as they are, they have both built their teams on a foundation of unflinching candour inside their locker and meeting rooms — a quality Carroll brings to some of his public speaking, but one that Belichick eschews.What you see on TV is what you get, pretty much, from the two, said Patriots cornerback Brandon Browner, who previously played for Carroll in Seattle. They have similarities too, though. Their football IQ is way up there. They are so different, but at the same time theyre the same. Thats why they both have succeeded at this level.Over his 15 years in New England, Belichick has made it increasingly difficult for anyone outside of Patriots Nation to love him. Nobody likes a boring cheater, and that is how hes sometimes portrayed. Its all summed up in his handling of the controversy of Super Bowl week — Deflategate — a subject he has refused to talk about since Saturday, when he held a news conference to deny wrongdoing and announce he was moving on. Were just focused on Seattle this week, hes said, repeating some version of that time and again.A much fuller picture of the coach was painted in the 2013 NFL Network production A Football Life, which gave an inside and genuinely absorbing look at the coach — miked up and behind the scenes during what turned out to be a disappointing 2009 season.Hard not to get choked up about it, Belichick said, barely controlling the tears as he toured his old stomping grounds, the old Giants Stadium, where he won his first two Super Bowl rings as New Yorks defensive co-ordinator. I spent a lot of hours in that room.One trait his old boss, Bill Parcells, turned into an art was figuring out how to get the most from each of his players by treating them individually.Its not a trait Belichick shares, at least in the sense that no one seems to get the Superstar Treatment in New England: High-priced cornerback Darrelle Revis got sent home one day for being late for a meeting. Jonas Gray ran for 201 yards in a win against Indianapolis but has barely been heard from again after showing up late for a meeting.Hes done a good job of treating everybody fairly, treating everybody the same, said Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich. If something goes wrong, he makes sure we know about it. Its all about knowing how to get the best out of everybody.Carroll does the same thing — just differently.Quirky as they come, he once said a book that guided many of his core philosophies was, The Inner Game of Tennis, a 1974 self-help manuscript by W. Timothy Callwey that is about finding the state of relaxed concentration that helps you play your best.Its also about tennis, but the stuff really resonated, Carroll said in an interview while he was coaching Southern California.In keeping with the touchy-feely theme, he has repeatedly made it clear this week that he respects the individuality of his players — from Richard Sherman, who is willing to speak on just about everything, to Marshawn Lynch, who doesnt want to talk about anything.The coachs willingness to bend, however, does not mean he deviates from the consistent routine he established when he came to Seattle after nine years at USC. Wednesdays are Competition Wednesdays. Thursdays are Turnover Thursdays. And so on.Hes got a philosophy he stays true to, said offensive line coach Tom Cable. For a lot of us whove coached a long time, weve been around a lot of great teachers, but their philosophies can go up and down. For him, hes the way he is every day.Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who hired Carroll back in 1997, then Belichick in 2000, called his former coach, pretty special to be around. A lot of fun.He feels he set Carroll back by not giving him the full control he wanted, and the owner adjusted his style when he made the next hire.Everyone benefited: Belichick and the Patriots — and Carroll and Seattle.Theres no big mystery to all this coaching success, Belichick insists.Its about players making the plays that your team needs to win, he said. I think as a coach, you want to make sure you dont screw that up.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org Micah Hyde Jersey . The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team. At a ceremony inside the stadium, the team thanked its loyal followers -- the 12th Man -- capping a day of boisterous celebration that drew an estimated 700,000 revelers to Seattle. Patrick DiMarco Jersey . Riethers apparent stamp on Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj during Saturdays Premier League match at Craven Cottage was missed by the match officials. A three-man panel of former referees reviewed the incident and all agreed that it was a sending-off offence. http://www.cheapbillsjerseysonline.com/ .com) - Mike Miller scored a season-high 21 points in a rare start and the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from their worst loss of the season with a 95-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets.It hasnt all been bad in Edmonton this year. Lost in the bedlam of the Eskimos 2-9 start to the season is quarterback Mike Reillys encouraging first year as a fulltime starter in the CFL. Through the first 11 games of the season, Reillys stats rank amongst the league leaders. His 19 touchdown passes are tied for third behind only Darian Durant and Henry Burris, and his 2,667 passing yards are fourth with Durant, Burris, and Travis Lulay ahead of him. Adding in rushing numbers and Reilly has accounted for 3,197 total yards on offence, second behind only Burris astounding 3,774. Injuries have sapped the numbers of some other usual suspect league leaders this year but the point is Reilly is right with those guys statistically in just his first year as a starter. The one stat he falls well behind in however is team wins. No other position is evaluated by victories more than the quarterback, so you could make the argument Reilly is woefully underperforming based on the most significant stat affixed to him thiss year: two, the number of wins hes led the Eskimos to through 12 weeks. Russell Bodine Jersey. But while there are no moral victories in professional sports, Reilly and the Esks have been close on at least a couple occasions. And, the tumult being well documented with the Eskimos this year, the 28-year-old Central Washington alum should get a pass for not being able to singlehandedly turn the team into a contender. After all hes a first-year starter still perfecting his three-down game and not a grizzled vet brought in to lead a culture change in Edmonton. That Reilly continues to compete and deliver, upholding his end of the bargain while not everyone around him does the same, is impressive in its own right. The Eskimos have a long list of things to do before theyre once again a contender in the West Division, but finding a franchise quarterback isnt one of them. The Rouge asks: Is Mike Reilly a franchise quarterback? Youve heard what weve had to say, now its your turn. As always, its Your! Call.
