New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has become a often-used target of criticism for former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel, who played for the legendary coach from 2003-2007.
Samuel, whose Patriots career ended unceremoniously following a blunder in Super Bowl XLII and long-running contract disputes, has picked Belichick apart in recent seasons. The former All-Pro cornerback gives credit for New England's dynastic run entirely to Tom Brady, and has crushed his former coach for his inability to replace Brady with another franchise quarterback.
Samuel's latest shot at Belichick came at the warning he tried to give Lamar Jackson on social to not play for the hoodie.
Well, current Patriots have had enough of the slander.
"Hush up. It's different over here," Matthew Judon tweeted.
Samuel's entire beef seems to stem from sour grapes, due to the end of his Patriots tenure, which hurts some of his credibility when it comes to giving advice.
Judon, on the other hand, has been nothing but complimentary since joining New England in 2021. The four-time Pro Bowler has even become somewhat of an internet general manager as well. It must be nice to have someone fighting internet battles for you.
