Devin McCourty Tries Clarifying Danny Amendola’s Bill Belichick Remarks

Devin McCourty took notice of the comments Danny Amendola made on head coach Bill Belichick. However, he believes that Amendola’s comments were related to former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Amendola said the “Patriot Way” is all about TB12. His statement raised eyebrows and people started talking about it. What was he thinking? NFL fans criticized Amendola for his remarks, so he had to walk those back.

Devin McCourty addressed the Bill Belichick topic

McCourty is convinced that Amendola misspoke.

“I think Dola is trying to let people know Tom’s greatness. I don’t think that came out the correct way at all,” he said Friday on ESPN’s “Get Up!” “What he said about the coaches is true, that’s what coaching is — it’s watching film and putting guys in the right position and when I think about the Patriot Way, I think about a team. …

“Whether you want to call Tom the leader of the Patriot Way, because I think a lot does trickle down from him, but I think it was a little bit of a slap in the face to all of the other guys that are not Tom Brady.

“I don’t think he meant it that way, I think he really wanted to push Tom Brady’s greatness and what Tom Brady is because everyone puts us in this Brady vs. Belichick kind of arena and I think Dola was trying to tell people, like Tom is a great player. For me, I don’t think you have to defend that. Turn on the film, turn on this year. If you thought Tom Brady was a system quarterback, you probably need to go dive in the snow if you’re in the Northeast right now, head first, because he’s shown every bit of him. He can go win anywhere and really at any moment. The guy is 43 years old and is playing in another Super Bowl — his 10th. His greatness is definitely out there.”

Amendola may have misspoken, but he should also be aware of people’s reactions. Every conversation about Belichick and his former quarterback takes a similar turn. We bet fans will forget about this in the next few days. Brady made the Super Bowl, and that’s an important topic. Belichick missed the playoffs and TB12 will make his 10^th Super Bowl appearance.
