Rodney Harrison didn’t like any of the comments Darrelle Revis made regarding his time with the New England Patriots. Revis isn’t really happy about this part of his NFL career. Why did he make these comments? Harrison was pretty surprised by these comments. He appeared Merloni & Fauria to talk about Revis’ comments.
“I don’t understand his point of view,” Harrison said. “Because if I’m playing professional football, getting paid — and trust me, I wasn’t even getting paid a quarter of the money that this guy made — to have an opportunity to play the game that I love, and to get paid the type of money that I was getting paid, and to be able to share the locker room with guys like (Christian Fauria), guys like Willie McGinest. Are you kidding me? These are memories that will stick with me forever. Heck, we haven’t played together in over a decade and guess what? We’re still talking on the radio. You know what I’m saying?
“To me, it’s a place where I came in, Coach Belichick gave me an opportunity to be a part of a winning culture and teach me, in deeper detail, the game of football. And just like I learned a lot from you (Fauria) from having conversations, I’ve learned so much. So, I can’t sit here and say that my time in New England, I didn’t enjoy football. I loved it. It was the best football experience. The fans embraced me, gave me love.”

Revis is not the only player to say this. I mean, not everyone can handle Bill Belichick’s system.
“What it is, is a lot of those superstars have certain ways of doing things,” Harrison said. “And when you’re with the Patriots, everybody’s kind of, basically, looked at the same. And a lot of guys, coming up, we were all superstars. We were always the best player on our teams. So, we all kinda get used to that. And then, when you come to New England, (Belichick) treats you just like you’re the third corner even though you’re making $15 million a year, and you’re sitting here looking like, ‘Man, I’m Darrelle Revis.’”
Belichick has his own way of doing things and some players find it unacceptable. The Patriots head coach respects players with great work ethic. He doesn’t like when they are late or when someone talks too much to the media.
