Game prep and knowledge of tendencies are important, but it still boils down to execution. It's always a battle. Hope we bring our A-game.

He didn't bash Flores, he said no comment. I think that was a mature enough way to handle it.

I agree that he is giving the impression of maturity, but by saying no comment it's clearly a jab; the implication is that he COULD say something crappy, but he's just above that.
Most players when asked about this type of thing say, "I understand it's a business, the team had to do what they had to do, I can only control what I can control...." but Van Noy, the great leader, took a back handed shot. (My OPINION) And if he wants to take a shot, that's fine too. It's at least honest.
But I hate it when guys pretend to go high road by saying no comment to make it look like they could jab, but they're just too mature for that.
If you are that mature, respond how all the other mature athletes respond and bring the thunder on game day.
It's OK to be bitter about being cut. I get it. It's probably just me and a personal bias, but I just hate the , "Oh the things I COULD say about a guy, if I weren't so darn noble." To me it's disingenuous. Again, just me.

No it was for sure a back handed compliment. There's a political, respectful answer and then there is the subtle jabs players will throw out there. Two weeks after being cut and not happy about it there was not mistake what he was trying to say.
 
I read somewhere that he tended to rub players the wrong way and he isn't exactly missed, that being said nothing wrong with his answer of "no comment" it says alot and says nothing at the same time.

Kyle Van Noy praises Bill Belichick, says "no comment" on Brian Flores

Linebacker Kyle Van Noy is back in New England after playing last year in Miami, and it sounds like playing a year for the Dolphins has made him appreciate the Patriot Way.

Apparently Van Noy isn't taking it well that he got cut in Miami.

Van anNOYyed is sad because he knows what we are building here, wanted to be part of it, but wasn't good enough.

- He is acting like a jilted lover.

If he was good enough at this point in his career, he wouldn't have had to sign with the Patriots for HALF the salary that he was being paid by the Fins
