What question would you ask if you had a few minutes to sit down, alone with Bill Belichick and he agreed to answer a question about one topic with 100% honesty. No topics being off limits.
I'd ask about pass rush. From watching and reading about the Patriots it seems that Bill thinks about the pass rush differently then some other coaches in the league. I think the Patriots are always trying to get to the QB and want to apply pressure, but it doesn't seem as high on the priority list as other defenses that use a more straightforward attacking style. I'm specifically referring to Patriots defensive lineman playing a lot of 2 gap techniques and what from reading tea leaves seems like an emphasis on containment vs. depth of the pass rushers (especially against a mobile QB).
I'd love to get Bill's unfiltered thoughts on how he came to believe that this is best system of defense for the Pats, what makes him continue to believe in it as offenses have evolved over the past decade and how he thinks about managing risk/reward of trying to sell out on getting QB pressure without blitzing.
If you got alone time with Bill what would you ask?
