"You have to give Mike Vrabel credit. He's pulling all the right levers for the New England Patriots, who enter Week 11 on a seven-game win streak, still tied atop the conference with an 8-2 record. Sunday's marquee road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was just the latest example. Vrabel and the Patriots heard it from fans and media last week after standing pat at the NFL trade deadline,"
"The Patriots were reportedly ready to do business, after recouping extra draft capital for safety Kyle Dugger and defensive lineman Keion White in previous trades. But per Mike Giardi of Boston Sports Journal, Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk might've blocked potential deals with the Patriots for players like RB Tony Pollard, edge Arden Key and wide receiver Calvin Ridley over her past dealings with Vrabel."
"At 1-8, and with their latest head coach, Brian Callahan, already shown the door, the Titans were expected to hold a fire sale prior to the NFL trade deadline. That surprisingly didn't happen, as only cornerback Roger McCreary and edge Dre'Mont Jones were dealt; Tennessee recouped merely one conditional fifth-round pick, and a swap of Day 3 selections in those deals."
Mike Vrabel has guided the New England Patriots to an 8-2 record and a seven-game win streak entering Week 11. The Patriots delivered a complete 28-23 road victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after standing pat at the NFL trade deadline. New England believes it can compete with any team while also focusing on building sustainable success during Vrabel's first year. The Titans' collapse and 1-8 start prompted expectations of a fire sale, but Tennessee traded only Roger McCreary and Dre'Mont Jones for minimal returns. Reports indicate Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk may have blocked potential deals with the Patriots for players such as Tony Pollard, Arden Key and Calvin Ridley.
