Yesterday, while Cardinals’ DC Vance Joseph was describing the New England Patriots’ offense as being a run heavy, dink and dunk passing system run by “defensive coaches”, Bill Belichick was going out of his way to heap praise on Cardinals’ WR DeAndre Hopkins.
The G.O.A.T. had this to say about D-Hop: (per Jim McBride’s Patriots Notebook in the Boston Globe: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/12/08/sports/patriots-are-run-facing-some-nfls-elite-receivers-next-up-is-arizonas-deandre-hopkins/)
“He’s got tremendous ball skills. He catches everything, has great hands, and he’s long, so he’s never covered. Even if he’s covered, there’s a place where the ball can be that he can get it and still make the catch,” Belichick said.
