How Belichickian. 

I wonder why the Colts didn't pick him up.  Oh, that's right, they  have Trent Richardson to pound the rock.

"That will be up to him, just like everybody else," Belichick said Friday morning. "When he gets an opportunity, [it's] how much he can take advantage of it, how much he can be productive and what he can do with those opportunities [that] will determine how many more there are. It's totally up to him.


"We've talked about that. He knows that's the way it is, and he's excited about it."
