COMMENTARY
In the Patriots’ video room at Gillette Stadium, Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff have made a few impromptu renovations.
Plastered on the wall is a poster — mapping out the key principles set down by New England’s head coach as the team tries to cultivate a sustainable and successful culture.
The four foundations to New England’s identity:
1. Effort And Finish
2. Ball Security & Ball Disruption
3. Details, Technique and Fundamentals
4. Make Great Decisions
Vrabel’s ongoing endeavor when it comes to re-establishing the Patriots as a perennial powerhouse will be far from easy.
