ESPN's Rex Ryan, Ryan Clark salute Mike Vrabel, Patriots defense after Super Bowl berth
"On behalf of the NFL Live Crew. New England Patriots - I would like to apologize. We were not familiar with your game."
"Look at every single play, it's a pursuit drill. .... That is coached. And that's what you don't see from every team in the league, but you certainly see it from a Mike Vrabel team. And you always have."
"From the acquisitions they got in free agency to the guys that were already on that roster before Mike Vrabel got there, just look at the improvement of the guys that were on the roster."
"That's why, to me, there's not a finer coaching job in the National Football League than what Mike Vrabel has done with the New England Patriots."
The New England Patriots are one win away from a Super Bowl championship after a season featuring Drake Maye's MVP-caliber play and impactful free-agent and draft additions. Critics have pointed to a lighter schedule and fortunate breaks as explanations for the team's success. Rex Ryan praised New England's defense for executing a coached, relentless pursuit on every play under Mike Vrabel. Damien Woody credited Vrabel with clear roster improvements and lauded his coaching as among the best in the NFL. Coaching emphasis on pursuit, culture, and personnel moves is credited with turning the Patriots into a title contender.
