The finale

Coach Belichick asked for a Mulligan today. Considering his track record, we'll give him one.
The coach was late for his final press conference of training camp, nearly a half hour late.
``Do I get a Mulligan on this,'' he asked. ``We're kind of scrambling today.''
His session revolved more around his view of training camp, which concludes with a 2:30 practice today, more than worry about Saturday night's game against Arizona. His central theme, if there was one, was that he was generally satisfied with the way camp has gone.
Reflecting the many new faces on the team, Belichick spoke about how he and his staff spent more time on individual instruction this year.
``There's been a little less team or group work in order to accomodate the individual teaching,'' he said. ``If you concentrate 24 minutes a day to individual drills rather than 16 minutes, cumulatively that's a lot more time on fundamentals.''
We'll have more as the day goes along.
