Exodus 20:7: For Patrick Willis will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

by Fooch on Oct 1, 2008 10:45 PM PDT in News

The minute I read Barrows post mentioning that Bill Belichick was comparing Jerod Mayo with Patrick Willis, I knew what had to be done. Thanks once again to my man wjackalope for coming up with another stellar graphic.

For those who don't quite know enough about our man Patrick Willis I encourage you to check out some facts that I believe are 100% accurate HERE and HERE. I don't dare question these facts because that would be blasphemy.

Exodus 20:7 ?

Hmmm… 2 touchdowns, 2 field goals before we hightail it out of there? I’ll take that score for the Patriots win on Sunday. : )

Keep the faith!

I still laugh at some of those P. Willie “facts” even though I have read them hundreds of times.

Simply by pulling on both ends, Patrick Willis can stretch diamonds back into coal

Well...

I don’t think we should split hairs over that one when you consider Mike Nolan just referred to the Patriot’s Wesley Walker… it’s little things like that that make me not trust Nolan at all. That’s just NOT sharp. In comparison, according to Matt M. of the PD, Belichick rolled off 15 different 49ers and talked about when he’d seen them before on different teams. Off the top of his head. I’m just saying…

Belichick

That’s what has me particularly worried about the game. The coaching matchup would seem to be quite the mis-match.

Eh

I think a lot of coaches don’t learn the names of opposing players. If not mistaken, Nolan will refer to opposing players by number more likely than not. Is it really necessary to know someone’s name? I think when you watch the coaches film, the primary thing you see are numbers, as you don’t get the announcer in your ear at all.

Don’t coaches at various levels refer to players by number?

That's not....

… say that I don’t agree that the coaching matchup seems to be a bit lopsided (to say the least). I just disagree with the idea that it’s a big deal if a coach knows opposing players names or not. Belichick is kind of a one of a kind kind of guy. He’s meticulous, and perhaps a little OCD. You can’t really other coaches to be anything like him, really.

OCD is right

He’s also infuriating and hilarious at the same time. His pressers are a riot when some noob tries to extract some information out of him. Here’s one of my favorite recent exchanges:
