Speaking on a conference call the day after the Patriots blew their chance at a sixth NFL title with a 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , Belichick said ”there are a lot of things that go into that.” He declined to be specific.

Butler’s interception in the end zone in the final minute of the Super Bowl against Seattle clinched New England’s 2014 NFL championship. He had been one of the Patriots’ steadiest players this season, appearing in 98 percent of the defensive snaps and starting 17 of 18 games this season.

But the defensive back made it on the field for only one play on Sunday – on special teams. He appeared to be crying during the national anthem. And after the game, he told ESPN, that he ”could have changed that game.”

Belichick said on Monday: ”I respect Malcolm’s competitiveness Ugo Amadi Jersey , and I’m sure that he felt like he could have helped. I’m sure other players felt the same way.”

Butler was not available to the media after the team’s buses returned to their home stadium on Monday afternoon. Only a few dozen fans were waiting to greet them.

Only one player commented, defensive lineman Eric Lee.

”That doesn’t concern me at all,” he said when asked about Butler’s benching. ”I’m the wrong person to talk to about that.”

Butler’s locker had unopened packages loaded in front of it. On the shelves were game balls; at the bottom was a stack of cleats.

Butler is an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He’s one of many holes the team would need to fill from a defense that gave up 538 yards in the Super Bowl.

Another is defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, who was hired as the head coach of the Detroit Lions on Monday. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is expected to get the top job in Indianapolis this week.

Belichick and owner Robert Kraft are also scheduled to meet to clear the air over the trade of Jimmy Garoppolo that left the Patriots without a successor to 40-year-old Tom Brady at quarterback.

When analyzing the NFL Devin White Jersey , or sports in general for that matter, there are always players that the name on the jersey holds more weight than the production on the field. We take certain players and put them on a pedestal when the production on the field really hasn’t been there to credit the amount of money they make or the praise that the media and fans give them.Now this is not to say that these are not good players, in fact, many of the guys that I have listed have had Pro Bowl seasons and have won Super Bowls. I just don’t think that they necessarily garner the kind of clout that they have been given.Looking through the history of the NFL there were plenty of players that were hyped up as superstar athletes. We can now look back at their career’s and honestly say that they may have enjoyed the luxury of playing on great teams or were just overall mediocre. Players that come to mind are Herschel Walker and Drew Bledsoe L.J. Collier Jersey , very good players but rated higher than they probably deserved.All lot of factors went into considering a player overrated. Factors such as name recognition, production, and salary were all taken into account.
