Patriots running backs coach Ivan Fears always says what’s on his mind.
Fears has become built a reputation for providing raw, unfiltered analysis on his players. His recent comments on J.J. Taylor and Rhamondre Stevenson are great examples.
Fears offered a harsh review of Damien Harris’s costly fumble in New England’s season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins. So, you knew he’d have much to say about Harris’s similarly bad fumble in Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
During Tuesday’s news conference, Fears first was asked whether running backs sometimes think too much about securing the football.
