Ealy says the Patriots are different

Ealy, who played with the Carolina Panthers from 2014 to 2016 before being traded to the Patriots this offseason, met with the media Tuesday at Gillette Stadium and didn’t want to expound on his three-sack Super Bowl 50 performance nor his impending free agency. He would give his initial impressions of being a Patriot, however. “Just the way they do things are totally, totally different, but it’s a good kind of different,” Ealy said. “Just enjoying the process as I go forward.” So what makes it so different? “Just the attention to detail is the most thing that sticks out that Coach Bill preaches on and off the field,” Ealy said. “That could be in any different categories, but just being attentive.”

Patriots additions have started digging into their playbooks, but until Ealy actually gets on the field for organized team activities, he’s not sure how he’ll fit into New England’s defensive system. “It’s too early on right now,” Ealy said. “Right now, it’s just about the process and just about getting better each and every day. Those things will come along as the season progresses.”

So...there is attention to details....that  is what he likes but can only say it is being attentive.  And the details are so good he does not know how he will fit into the Pats D. Other than that..rest assured he is in a much better system. He is going to get better every day.  Wish he would have come up with that idea while in Carolina.

That being said...best wishes to him.

Wouldn't be in the Panthers two deep right now and is supposed to dominate from day 1 there with an inferior front 7?  I don't believe it.

Moving back also cost them their draft target Dan Feeney.

If you have read or watched much on Bill B, you know that he is super detail oriented.

 

IMO, it't his, and somewhat Brady's attention to said details that have kept them so weirdly successful.

That, and he isn't scared to cut or move on from anyone, at anytime.

We would've released him anyways. He could work out in NE (I find it highly unlikely and even still he's a FA after the year) but they could've had him later for free if they wanted.

Why are people getting defensive over Ealy's statement?  It's common knowledge that Bellichek runs that team like a well oiled machine. To say he's more detail oriented than Rivera and the Panthers coaching staff is more than likely a true statement. 

I am not being defensive...some of you did not get my point.  He could not justify what he said...his "detail' point was defined as being attentive.  And...he has so much detail he does not have a clue what he will be doing.  Lame attempt IMHO.

That sounds almost word for word what Brandon Lafell said a few years ago.  I thought I was reading the same article. 

Just a bunch of cliche phrases strung together to make a dumb offseason article.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
