Tom Brady and Bill Belichick shared their opinions on Jerod Mayo, Patriots’ struggles

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick weighed in on the Patriots: As the two towering figures of Patriots history, the voices of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick will always carry significant weight when discussing their former team.

This made Belichick’s recent response to current New England head coach Jerod Mayo’s charge about his team being “soft” so notable. Belichick initially replied during his Monday appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

“I’m kind of hurt for those guys because to call them soft — they’re not soft, they were the best team in the league last year against the run,” Belichick said of Mayo’s comments, citing the plethora of players from his previous roster that New England opted to retain in the offseason.
