'"I expect our team to improve," Belichick told reporters at his Friday press conference. "I think that coach Marrone and the program they have down there will be good for us to work against. I have a lot of respect for what he did in Buffalo. They were a very tough team to compete against when they were in our division. He did a great job throughout his career at Syracuse and as an assistant in this league. I have a lot of respect for Doug and the program he runs."'
