Stephon Gilmore is the latest former New England Patriot to speak out against an Apple TV documentary about his Super Bowl appearance.
The documentary, aptly called “The Dynasty,” chronicles the Patriots’ rise to six Super Bowls in 20 years, second only to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.
Some say the film is a behind-the-scenes look at the stubborn Belichick and paints him in a somewhat negative light.

Gilmore expressed his displeasure with Belichick’s portrayal and completely rejected the idea that he didn’t enjoy his time there.
“I just watched ‘The Dynasty.’ Bill was the greatest coach I’ve ever had. Don’t let that fool you,” Gilmore wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
And Gilmore praised Belichick’s bold coaching tactics.
“I’ll never forget the 2018 season, where we were a male-dominated team all the way up to the Super Bowl. When we played the Rams, we switched to zone,” he wrote.

Joe Burrow says he’s ‘provocative’: ‘I didn’t mean to offend’
“I don’t think any coach would change what they’ve been doing all season in a big game like that.”
In another post, Gilmore wrote about a successful defensive scheme that Belichick told him to run, even though he was uncomfortable with it.
“Or he told me to do the trail technique in Buffalo, because when I’m chasing a big receiver, the quarterback can’t throw against the wind. He told me to play the corner. If anything, it doesn’t feel good to play trail technique. I shut down the WR and have zero catches.”
Devin McCourty also expressed his displeasure with the documentary.
“I felt a little bit cheated,” McCourty told former Patriots player Rodney Harrison. “I thought, ‘Hey, this is going to be great. Like storytelling, we’re talking about this and we’re talking about that.'” For the last 20 years. Everything we all gave to only affected the negative. ”
