Lane Johnson blasts Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick for pre-Super Bowl trash-talk

“There was obviously some stuff behind closed doors. Their owner talking [expletive]to our owner. Bill talking [expletive] to our head coach before the game. I’m not going to say it, but a lot of [expletive] built up to that, and I just got tired of hearing about it, man, to be honest.”

“Like I said, they’re robots, they’re told what to do. And if you go out of line, they’ll cut your ass. To be honest, I really have no idea what he did. I know that he’s a great player. I know that he would have had an impact on the game. But seriously, I don’t think anybody really knows. I’m sure it was something, team rules broken or something.”

“The way I approach the game, man I try to approach it fearless. We talk about the Patriots, I got in a lot of trouble running my mouth. But my thinking was they give too much respect to these [expletive] guys. Everybody is half-assed scared of them and they’re beat before they get on the field. I ain’t playing Tom Brady; I don’t give a [expletive] about him.

“I know that defensive line ain’t going to do [expletive] against us and that was kind of my approach. I’m out there talking [expletive] to them, but my meeting rooms, I’m telling our guys that and I think a lot of times before games, a lot of guys are beat mentally. I can tell you that first-hand from my rookie year. You look at guys on paper, size and speed, that [expletive] don’t matter.”
