Patriots' Jerod Mayo: Eliot Wolf's 'Hard-Ass' Comment Wasn't Bill Belichick Criticism

Jerod Mayo plans to do things differently than Bill Belichick as New England Patriots head coach, but that doesn't mean the new regime is ripping the old one.

"It's going to be different, but at the same time I would say Bill did a great job for a long period of time," Mayo told reporters Wednesday. "I don't want you [in the media] to take this as 'because we're changing, there are shots toward the previous regime.'

"In saying that, we will do it differently and it will feel different. But at the end of the day, we would like to replicate the success that the prior regime has had.
