PHOENIX -- Everyone has a role to play on Bill Belichick's team, he says.

That role sometimes changes week-to-week depending on matchups.

"I will put it this way: I think you try to do what is best for your football team, and best for each individual player," Belichick said. "That is not necessarily the same each week and it is not the same for each player and it is not the same in different situations. It aries and you have to kind of take it how it comes, and in the end do what you think is best for all the parties involved.

"The team is always number one. Whatever that is, that is what I will do. Whatever I feel is best for our football team, that is the decision I will make. Whether it is a game day decision, a personnel decision, a personal meeting with a player, a strategic move, a play to call or whatever. My priority is always to do what is best for this football team. That drives everything I do for the New England Patriots and whatever style it comes in -- that could be part of it too."
