When Mike Vrabel was named the 16th head coach of the New England Patriots back in January, fans hoped to get the full package — starting with a team that’s tough, disciplined, and hard for opponents to play against.
It’s only week 10 of Vrabel's debut season, and the Patriots are already getting much more than they bargained for from their new regime.
Vrabel changed the culture in Foxboro almost immediately, but the locker room vibes seem to hit new levels with each passing week. Take Week 10, for example. The NFL’s trade deadline expired on Tuesday evening, and the Patriots received some criticism both locally and nationally for standing pat with their current group.
