“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. "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 best player on the Patriot Way and leader of it, no doubt about it. But, you can’t tell me in all of those games and all of these years throughout, that the defense and other guys haven’t had something to do with that. That’s all guys believing in that. We’ve had great players across the board. We’ve had guys like Darrelle Revis, Vince Wilfork, the Tedy Bruschis, Willie McGinests, the Ty Laws — those guys. Ty Law is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, he is the Patriot Way also. 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 who are not Tom Brady — the Julian Edelmans, the Gronks.
