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.

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
