New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick took the time to divvy up praise for his defensive staff Tuesday, commending the unit for how well they’ve worked in a difficult season.
It was nice moment.
That’s until you realize the he was asked directly about linebackers coach Jerod Mayo, not the entire staff.
Belichick has a weekly appearance on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” and was unusually chatty Tuesday. He opened up about a few things previously untouched upon, but notably skirted the opportunity to put some shine on Mayo when asked how he’s progressed as a coach.
