"There wasn't much to like about the debut of Mike Vrabel's 2025 Patriots. They were outplayed, outcoached, and outclassed by the Las Vegas Raiders. Being "outcoached" was the one thing that was furthest from the mind. Small consolation, at least Vrabel was outcoached by a top NFL Head Coach and maybe a Pro Football Hall of Famer to boot, all-time nice guy, Pete Carroll."
"He can be tough as nails, but if he feels Patriot Nation should cut a player some slack, he's not afraid to say it. Bedard analyzed Campbell's first NFL game in a CLNS YouTube podcast. "I think solid is the right word to use with Campbell. I thought he had some really good reps, you know, he got beat a few times...3.5 total QB pressures and 54 drop backs, including penalties, is not that bad at all""
The Patriots lost their 2025 season opener to the Las Vegas Raiders, being outplayed, outcoached, and outclassed while avoiding a blowout. Harold Landry recorded 2.5 sacks and Kayshon Boutte caught six passes for 103 yards. Rookie left tackle Will Campbell showed promise in the first half but struggled after halftime, suffering from the Raiders' pass rush and committing two procedure penalties. Analyst Greg Bedard gave Campbell a "solid" grade, noting 3.5 total quarterback pressures across 54 dropbacks including penalties. Campbell is in a learning phase and is expected to improve with experience.
