In a conversation that took awkward silence to a new level, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick chose to ignore a quarterback-related question from WEEI’s Lou Merloni.
The exchange Monday, on the show Ordway, Merloni & Fauria, started with Merloni asking if a change at quarterback could help the Patriots get in the end zone. Belichick paused six seconds and said, “I mean, we’ve talked about that.”
That was just the beginning. Merloni followed up by asking if Cam Newton is still the team’s starting quarterback this week.
“It’s been several weeks that we’ve continued to ask the same question,” Belichick replied.
