""We talked about giving them reasons to travel, reasons to cheer," he said. "Certainly love seeing everybody around the hotel when we got there and on the way to the game, and at the game.""
""We're thankful [for] that," added Vrabel. "We know that those trips aren't easy or cheap. Those are commitments, and we appreciate that from our fans.""
""There's not going to be much physical activity. It'll be a normal week at Wiggy's house," Vrabel joked, referencing former Patriot (and WEEI co-host) Jermaine Wiggins. "Not going to be a lot of physical activity.""
""All hands are on deck this morning," Vrabel said of the training staff as players try to recover quickly. "Everything that we can possibly do, we're going to do.""
Mike Vrabel thanked the large contingent of Patriots fans who traveled to Tampa and said the team aimed to give them reasons to travel and cheer. New England improved to 8-2 and is tied with Denver and Indianapolis for the AFC's best record. The Patriots face a quick turnaround with a home Thursday night game against the Jets, so players are already operating as if it's midweek. The focus is rest and recuperation with minimal physical activity. Vrabel joked about a "normal week at Wiggy's house" and said training staff are using all available measures to expedite recovery.
