The coach told reporters New England was a “ soft football team across the board ” after its Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. And while Mayo walked back the comments and said the Patriots were playing soft football, Ryan sent a message to Mayo about how he’s the one responsible for how New England is playing.

Bill Belichick is one of many who took umbrage with Mayo’s word choice. Mayo clarified that he meant they were playing soft in the moment against the Jaguars, but the backlash hasn’t slowed down in the days since. The latest person to question his remarks is former NFL head coach Rex Ryan, who’s currently an analyst with ESPN.

Things took an even worse turn after last Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London when first-year head coach Jerod Mayo called his team "soft" during his postgame press conference. That had Belichick sounding off a few times during the week.

On Sunday morning’s show, Ryan didn't hold back when critiquing first-time head coach Jerod Mayo of the New England Patriots. He expressed concern over Mayo’s approach after the controversial postgame comment where Mayo labeled his team a "soft team across the board" following their Week 7 game.
