Regarding player evaluations:

Before they can know what they need, they need to know who they are. This is one of BB's core philosophies, and it is why he's sitting in this Gillette Stadium room with a binder, noteboo, pens, and pages of football statistics. All of the coaches were there. Adams and Pioli was there. For a couple of days Kraft was there too.

Every Patriots player was under discussion. There were strengths and weaknesses for each one. There were comments and sometimes stats on his mental errors, his performance in the weight room, his ability to be coached, his attitude, he ranking compared to others at his position leaguewide and his ability to help the team next year.
