Adam Vinateiri used to play on scout team defense

Indianapolis Colts

Bill Belichick loves to be prepared. If there is one thing that has been a key to the Patriots success this last decade it has been that they are always prepared for game day.

That preparation starts the week before in practice, with the scout team helping the offense know what to expect out of the other team.

So its no surprise he would use everything at his disposal to replicate the next opponents defense, even if that means using your Super Bowl winning kicker.



That's a cool look behind the scenes. This just shows that Vinatieri did a lot more for those Patriots teams than just making Super Bowl winning kicks.

Me? well i thought you'd never ask. well i'm around 25 years old, give or take, i mean the only way to tell for sure is to cut me open and count my rings but for now i'm content to say i'm 25. i'm freakin funny, and if you disagree with me i will stab you in the jaw. i love to just chill with my friends, they are awesome, they laugh at my jokes, sure, it took some jaw stabbing but hey its not always easy. i haven't quite mastered the whole think before you speak program, apparently, if you start a sentence with "now don't take this the wrong way" people still take it the wrong way. i know, i know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but it happens. twice while i was fishing, i've seen beavers with paws the size of frying pans that could rip a mans face right off! oh and i hate bears, its just terrible what happened to those two hikers from the czech republic. terrible. i really like to go fourwheeling, i like to work on cars but i'm way to lazy to actually do it. i cant wait to go snowboarding this winter, i'm pretty good, steve once said i looked like a train wreck, he's borderline pro, so that really made my day. oh and once i had a dream.
