You may recall that in the wake of the Patriots' 35-34 loss to Indianapolis, former Patriots Tedy Bruschi (now with ESPNBoston.com) and Rodney Harrison (now of NBC Sports) were both very critical of Coach Bill Belichick's decision to go for a first down on a fourth-and-2 situation at his own 28 with 2:08 to go.
Jerod Mayo proved Thursday that it doesn't take long for current players to forget the contributions of two of the best defensive players of the past decade or more. Centering upon Bruschi's comment that the decision to take the game out of the hands of his defense by not punting would have made his "blood boil," Mayo offered a fairly dismissive response to what one of his predecessors as defensive captain had to say.
"I have the utmost respect for Tedy and everything he's done for this organization, but he's not in this locker room at this point in time, so he doesn't know the feelings of this defense or that this team has," Mayo said. "We still have our confidence, we still have our (swagger), and we we're going out there Sunday and show the media, I guess."
