More information is coming out about Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s decision to keep Tom Brady‘s personal trainer, Alex Guerrero, away from the team — including a report that Guerrero is influencing a lot more Patriots than just Brady.
Guerrero now works with about 20 players on the Patriots and tells them that if his instructions conflict with the instructions of the Patriots’ strength and conditioning staff, then they should listen to Guerrero, according to Boston Sports Journal.
One example of a time that happened: According to the report, a Patriots player was told by the team’s strength coaches that he should be doing squats in the weight room. Guerrero told the player he shouldn’t do squats. The player listened to Guerrero and refused to do the squats that the strength staff was telling him to do.
The report also says that when Belichick talked to Guerrero about trying to get everyone on the same page, Guerrero badmouthed Belichick to the players he works with. That may have been the last straw for Belichick.

- But that hasn't stopped some behind the scenes at Gillette from referring to Guerrero as "Yoko Guerrero," in reference to Yoko Ono, the wife of John Lennon who some believe caused the breakup of The Beatles.
- There was an attempt to bring the three parties — Belichick, Brady and Robert Kraft — together to put the issue to bed prior to the game in Miami, but it didn't happen. It's not known whether another attempt will be made.
