Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel spent eight seasons with the Patriots as a linebacker, and won three Super Bowls. But for all the success Vrabel had in New England, particularly in the postseason, he does not see that as a benefit when it comes to getting his team ready for a playoff game at Gillette Stadium.
“Our familiarity is not going to help us with being able to handle the road environment,’’ said Vrabel. “Our preparation and our execution is going to be what will determine how we handle that road environment at night.’’
Getting his team ready to play in the conditions is another story.
