Interesting but slightly disappointing comments from Amendola whom we embraced as a true patriot
Danny Amendola says Adam Gase is 'refreshing' after playing under Bill Belichick
“Adam Gase is one of the guys,” Amendola told Smith on the podcast episode, which was released Thursday morning. “He’s our leader. He’s our head coach, but he’s also our boy. It’s cool. It’s refreshing to have that kind of relationship with a coach, which is something that I haven’t had in a long time. You want to fight hard [for a coach like that]. … Back in New England, it was almost like you’ve got a principal and a principal’s office and [expletive] like that. You know, in a good way. And in a bad way, too.”
“I came in with an open mind. I understand Bill runs a tight ship, and he hasn’t been known to pay his players, really. I understood that I gave money back to him so I could play for him and play for my teammates and fulfill my side of the contract, and at the end of the day, I had faith that he was going to give me an opportunity to stay,” Amendola told ESPN in April.
“When free agency broke, I came to the realization that [Belichick] wasn’t going to really come close to any of the other offers I had,” he said. “I had to make a decision for my family and go down to Miami and continue my career there.”
