It's been a few weeks since New Englanders watched and reacted to "The Dynasty," a 10-part docuseries on Apple TV+ that received quite a bit of criticism from owner Robert Kraft as well as longtime Patriots icons like Devin McCourty and Rodney Harrison as well as Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater.

Stephon Gilmore, who could lay claim to having the best two-year run of playing cornerback in Patriots franchise history, was a little late to the party. After seeing all the reactions to the series, he tweeted on March 26, "I need to watch The Dynasty."

He's apparently caught up, so he took it upon himself to go to bat for Bill Belichick, Michael Hurley of WBZ reports .

"Just watched The Dynasty. Bill was the greatest coach I've ever been around. Don't let that fool you," Gilmore wrote on X/Twitter. "I'll never forget we were a predominantly man team during the 2018 season all the way up to the Super Bowl. When we played the Rams we switched to Zone."

That massive shift in defensive philosophy was covered late in the docuseries, but Gilmore made it a point to highlight it even more.

"No coach would switch what they did all season in a big game like that," Gilmore said. 

Gilmore added one other coaching point from Belichick that didn't make the docuseries, too.

"Or him telling me to play trail technique in Buffalo because the quarterback can't throw against the wind when I was following a big time receiver," Gilmore said. "If you ever played corner that's not a good feeling playing trail technique. I shut the WR down to 0 catches."
