Lane Johnson has always been outspoken, but now that he has won the Super Bowl he can let loose even more. Johnson was interviewed by Barstools Sports and shared some criticisms of the Patriots approach to winning. He essentially called the Patriots a fear based club that does not enjoy playing football.
“I just think that the Patriot Way is a fear-based organization,” Johnson said on the Pardon My Take podcast. “Obviously, do they win? Hell yes, they win. They’ve won for a long time. Do I think people enjoy and can say, ‘I had a lot of fun playing there?’ No, I don’t. That’s just the God’s honest truth.”
Johnson also criticized how the Patriots players interact with the media, calling them robots.
“They’re successful, but when they go to interviews, they act like f—ing robots,” he said. “Hey, stop being a d—head. We can be cordial for a little bit. You only get to do this job one time, so let’s have fun while we’re doing it. Not to be reckless, but I’d much rather have fun and win a Super Bowl than be miserable and win five Super Bowls.”
Lane Johnson is not shy about sharing his truth.
