It’s clear that not all members of the New England Patriots share the same view of the team’s fans as Jahlani Tavai.
Tavai got himself in hot water when he criticized the Patriots fan base Friday morning during a radio appearance on WEEI. He said fans should “know their place” when raining down boos on the team or chanting for a coach to be fired, liked Patriots fans did last week in an embarrassing 40-7 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Patriots special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer was asked later in the day about fans getting on the team at Gillette Stadium and Springer gave a lengthy and refreshing answer that differed greatly from Tavai.
