It’s obvious that Belichick was complimentary of Flus after the game. Belichick doesn’t make a habit of pulling coaches aside after a game, especially after being humiliated.
I’ve admitted that I was more optimistic on Flus than perhaps I should have been; but as I’ve pointed out, I don’t see the same things I saw last year. Last year we had better effort (despite the roster being gutted, maybe guys were playing for their spots), we were more disciplined , and gone are the reports of “hard practices” and there isn’t the “accountability” we were preached to about. Otherwise Velus Jones would be cut or on the practice squad.
