Michael Bennett recalled how Bill Belichick treated Tom Brady as harshly as other Patriots

By Hayden Bird Michael Bennett recalled Bill Belichicks treatment of Tom Brady : One of the qualities that defined the classic Patriot Way was Bill Belichicks equal treatment of all players in an effort to maintain accountability.

Belichick was unafraid to offer critiques of any player, even Tom Brady.

This was recently highlighted in an anecdote from former Patriots pass rusher Michael Bennett.

Now retired, Bennett a three-time Pro Bowler during his 11-year career was a recent guest on Julian Edelmans Games With Names podcast.

Given his five years of experience in Seattle, Bennett compared Belichicks treatment of Brady with how Seahawks coach Pete Carroll coached Russell Wilson.

Seattle, they never really called out Russell on certain things, but Bill would call Tom out on everything, Bennett told Edelman.

Hows a guy whos been MVP four times, has won the championship six times, throw this f****** route right here?' Bennett jokingly recalled in an apparent impression of Belichicks film study with Brady and the rest of the team.

And youre just back there like, Damn, hes going off on Tom Brady right now?' Edelman, who played his entire career under Belichick, noted that this was simply a standard practice of the longtime New England coach.

Lets you know that everyones on limit, the former Patriots receiver said.

Bennett, who only featured for New England in six games during the 2019 season before he was traded to the Cowboys, also discussed how Belichick rattled off his impressive resume at the start of the season.

It was all the stats of all the things, Bennett remembered.

[Belichick] was like, So I know what Im talking about, and I was like, Yeah, he does.

Thats it right there.' Michael Bennett was surprised to see Bill Belichick yelling at Tom Brady during team meetings @mosesbread72 @Edelman11 Full Episode is out now on YouTube! : https://t.co/8LCFUwLZi2 pic.twitter.com/qh8RQi3cqy That Bennett only played with the Patriots for less than half a season was also likely not a reflection of a falling out that he had with team management.

At the time, Bennett then not in a starting role admitted that you always want to play more and make some more plays.

Still, he noted that winning was the most important thing for me as a teammate.

New England traded Bennett to the Cowboys for a sixth-round pick.

After the trade, Belichick praised the veteran pass rusher but alluded to salary cap constraints as a reason for the deal.

In the end, I think Mikes a good player, Belichick said in 2019.

We brought him here, and he helped our team.

I think he would help us, but there are certain things weve got to work with and work around, and thats what weve got to do.
