In Quiet Year, Danny Amendola’s Plays Have Been Loud

... the volume was not there, Amendola’s number still often was. No. 80 was called upon in moments of significance – even if the Patriot donning those digits isn’t one to devote more than a moment to acknowledging that. “Well, I mean, I just try to stay ready whenever my opportunity arises,” Amendola said Monday on WEEI’s Ordway, Merloni & Fauria. “Just whatever the coaches ask me to do, really. Everybody has a job. We say it all the time. But the only thing we really focus on is getting your job done, whatever it may be.”.

When a teammate, offensive lineman Mike Gibson, asked him where the rest of his stuff was, he said it would be coming in his car. "When the car came, all he had in it was a pole across the back seat with three shirts hanging up, and a suitcase," Gibson told me back then. "What can I tell you?" Amendola responded. "I'm a simple guy. I don't need much.". That simple guy has carved out a nice, little NFL career for himself since his nine-month pit stop in Philly in '09.
