In the past, it’s been rare to see Patriots players blame legendary head coach Bill Belichick for poor performances on the field.
But that seems to have changed this year.
From Mac Jones reportedly going behind Belichick’s back to seek advice from outside the organization to Kendrick Bourne openly saying that the coaches need to scheme up better, there have been multiple examples of Patriots players moving in a way that doesn’t seem to be typical of Belichick-led teams.
Is the behavior disrespectful? Five-time Pro Bowler Vince Wilfork thinks so.
“These guys don’t respect the game,” Wilfork said during an appearance on NBC Sports Boston.
