FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -Ty Warren was stunned when he saw the bare spots where pictures of former Patriots stars once hung. He and his teammates wondered what was going on.
It was just another motivational ploy by coach Bill Belichick.
Belichick had those pictures and those of current players removed. He wants this year’s team to establish its own identity, not look at the walls inside Gillette Stadium at players who last won a Super Bowl in 2005.
Warren said that when it was explained that the team should focus on the present and not think about the past, he understood what was done. New England won three Super Bowls in the past decade, but was routed in the first round of the playoffs last season.
