‘It’s an embarrassment’: Mike Vrabel called out an early-season Patriots trend

“I’m proud of the way that the guys that were in there finished the game with a critical drive, and that they showed up in good fashion. We were able to run the football, take the time and the clock down, and end the drive with some points.”Get Point AfterGet exclusive analysis and insight on the Patriots and the NFL, delivered to your inbox on weekdays during the season. Enter EmailVrabel credited offensive line coach Doug Marrone, as well as assistants Jason Houghtaling and Jonathan Decoster, with keeping the group ready to go. “They get them the reps that they think they need, whether that’s walkthrough reps or getting Walter Rouse ready, getting Matt [Pryor] ready,” Vrabel said. “Being able to get Caleb Lomu ready on both sides to be the swing tackle — play left one week, play right another. So, those are all real positive, and we’ll need their best efforts this week as we move forward.”The Patriots have put together a three-game winning streak despite injuries, including to wide receiver Romeo Doubs (shoulder), which landed him on injured reserve Monday. After a rocky start to the season, Drake Maye has 10 touchdown passes against one interception over the last three games.

“Just talking noise: ‘When are you going to get a sack? When are you going to get the quarterback on the ground?’ ” Williams said of his coach’s approach. “You know him. You all know Vrabes, man … he’s an [expletive]. He’s going to be an [expletive]. That’s how he is,” he added with a small smile. “But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Continue to just challenge us, challenge us, challenge us. Week-in, week-out; day-in, day-out. And I think that’s just going to help us get better and better as we go.”No one can test Williams and the defense like Vrabel. And, as it turned out, those occasionally salty challenges from the coach — who called it a “lucky” victory — may have made the difference on Sunday.

To be clear, it was not a sparking performance from Vrabel’s defense. Quarterback Geno Smith and his pesky offense kept hanging around through all four quarters.

Trumpism is the lowest stage of imperialism. “We’re not going to invade Greenland. We’re going to buy it,” Donald Trump reportedly told the annual black-tie dinner on 1 February of the private Alfalfa Club, an assemblage of prominent Washington figures, a number of whom he had publicly humiliated, and others he was investigating or suing. “It’s never been my intention to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be 53rd.” The room greeted several of his remarks with dead silence. His cosplay as the Pirate King was not received as a good-humored takeoff from a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. He went on. “So many people in the room I hate,” he said in a display of honesty. “Most of you I like,” he claimed. Then, at his peak euphoria, he flew off to Mar-a-Lago to plan his attack on Iran, which took place 27 days later. Trump’s imperialism of piracy and plunder is less of a system even than that of the earliest imperialism of 17th-century privateers raiding the Spanish Main, the divine right of kings, and monarchs dividing up the spoils as favors to create their lords and earls.
