Pats special teams coordinator has refreshing response to fans booing

Multiple New England Patriots players voiced their displeasure with fans booing and chanting "Fire (Jerod) Mayo" during last week's 40-7 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer, however, empathizes with those fed up with the team's continued struggles.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Springer was asked to share his reaction to the boos and chants that rained down from the Gillette Stadium stands. He made it clear in his candid response that he understands the fans' frustrations.

“I always say this, ‘if you don’t want to get shot at, don’t join the Army,' " Springer said.
