David Andrews on Jerod Mayo’s ‘soft’ comments: ‘I don’t think he told a lie’

Patriots captain David Andrews admitted it was tough to hear head coach Jerod Mayo call the team “soft” after Sunday’s lackluster loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars: “If you’re a player, that should piss you off. … It pissed me off, and I’m not even playing.”

But don’t mistake him: he’s not mad at Mayo for saying it. He’s upset that the coach has a point.

On the latest episode of “The Quick Snap” podcast, Andrews addressed the coach’s controversial comments and, in part, supported Mayo’s assertion.

“I understand both sides of the fence, but he’s the head coach and I don’t think he told a lie,” he said.
