Communication with a capital ``C''

Expanding a bit more on some of Belichick's comments regarding the team's ongoing focus on communication during this morning's meeting with the media:

``It’s just making sure that everybody that’s involved in the play sees the play the same way. Whether it’s the offensive line seeing the front the same, or a blocker and a runner seeing the defender the same to know where the ball’s going to go, or a receiver and a quarterback, or two defensive backs, or a defensive back and a linebacker covering a pattern just so we see it

``Sometimes we can communicate it; sometimes we just have to see it the same way and recognize it the same, so it’s a different type of communication. There’s verbal communication, there’s hand signals and then there’s just visual recognition. And there’s an element of communication in that, too.’’
