This guy shows up every week and plays well, run, pass, situational football, really smart player. This guy&#8217;s a great player. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Jordan has eight Pro Bowl selections in 13 seasons to go with 116 career sacks and a spot on the Hall of Fame&#8217;s All-2010s Team. Still, it might not be a stretch to say he&#8217;s been overlooked. He&#8217;s been an All-Pro just once, he&#8217;s produced double-digit sacks in six seasons but never led the league and he&#8217;s been a standout on a Saints team that for so much of his tenure was known for its Drew Brees-led offense.<\/p>\n<p>But Belichick has noticed him, particularly his consistent greatness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His consistency, his durability,&#8221; Belichick said when asked what it was about Jordan that earned him so much respect. &#8220;He&#8217;s play-after-play production.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Patriots OC Bill O&#x27;Brien: QB Mac Jones&#x27; struggles versus Cowboys were &#x27;uncharacteristic&#x27;            <\/li>\n<li>              Patriots OLB Matthew Judon (biceps) scheduled for surgery, expected to miss at least two months            <\/li>\n<li>              Patriots acquiring CB J.C. Jackson from Chargers with rookie Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) likely out for season            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As mentioned by Belichick, Jordan played in 172 straight games (not 177) to start his career before the streak was snapped in 2021 due to COVID-19 protocol. A season later, Jordan missed his first (and only) game so far due to injury. Thus, he&#8217;s played in 196 of a possible 198 games since the Saints took him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Just three of those games were against Belichick&#8217;s Patriots, with Jordan going 1-2 against New England, compiling one sack, seven tackles and five QB hits.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Luckily, we haven&#8217;t played him too often,&#8221; Belichick said. &#8220;It&#8217;s unusual to get them two years apart, that&#8217;s the extra game, otherwise it&#8217;s every four years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Belichick&#8217;s not a stranger to heaping praise on an opposing player, but it certainly doesn&#8217;t take away from the compliment of being commended by perhaps the greatest coach of all time. If it&#8217;s an opposing offensive player, chances are Belichick&#8217;s going to game plan to stop him. If it&#8217;s a defensive player, it might be all the more special considering that&#8217;s the side of the ball that&#8217;s held tight to the future Hall of Famer&#8217;s heart for so long.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, perhaps, the 34-year-old Jordan and the 71-year-old Belichick find themselves at similar career crossroads.<\/p>\n<p>Belichick is trying to revive a franchise he led to six Super Bowl wins, but hasn&#8217;t had a postseason victory since 2018. Jordan has just half a sack this year and knows his playing days are closer to the end than the start. The two defensive maestros will share the arena, perhaps for a final time, on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/patriots-hc-bill-belichick-on-saints-de-cam-jordan-one-of-the-players-i-have-the\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To begin his Wednesday news conference, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick complimented a list of New Orleans Saints<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Patriots HC Bill Belichick on Saints DE Cam Jordan: &#x27;One of the players I have the most respect for in the league&#x27;
