As far as Belichick goes, I think his players like him and he has used the "us against the world" stategy very well. In a recent article on Tony Dungy, Tony recalled how Chuck Noll talked to his players about life as much as football. Seemed to work out pretty well for the Steelers. Dan may have made a mistake with his relationship with Arrington and Portis, but hey, he let Williams decide how to use Lavar and I think Zorn will be allowed to use Portis as he sees fit. When it comes down to it, the team means more to the coaches and management than individual players. Anyone who doesn't think so should ask Marcus, Daniels, or any of the guys who were released and only offered vet min. to return, or not offered anything at all.
