Patriots Players Have No Workouts Scheduled During Lockout


New England Patriots All-Pro linebacker Jerod Mayo says that the team has no lockout workouts planned, but that may change if the lockout persists, Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald reports.

"As a captain of the team, I’m going to try to hold everybody accountable," Mayo said. "It’s all about beating the lockout at this point. Whatever team can beat the lockout has a good chance of success in the upcoming season. So, we’re going to do the most we can. Whether it’s on the phone or on Skype, whatever we have to do."

The Patriots are a young team, particularly on defense, a unit the 25-year old Mayo has captained the last two seasons.

"We have a young football team," Mayo said. "This is everybody’s first lockout, but at the same time, people handle it different. People are at different stages in their career. You have to hold everybody accountable and make sure everybody’s minding their P’s and Q’s and ready to come back to work when it’s time."
