"The New England Patriots have, unfortunately, qualified for the past two seasons. That dismal state of affairs led to the brooming of two successive head coaches, including arguably the best ever, Bill Belichick. Now, however, reason has prevailed, and the Patriots have finally got the right man in place to reverse their fortunes. That's their new Head Coach and major influencer, Mike Vrabel, and the top staff he brought along with him to handle personnel matters. Those changes have made all the difference, and national pundits are noticing."
"Why they can: Drake Maye made significant strides as a rookie quarterback and now has significantly more help in every facet thanks to offseason changes at the skill positions, along the offensive line and on defense. Experienced new head coach Mike Vrabel could also fire up a team with nothing to lose, and the Jets and Dolphins could have their issues."
NFL teams are finalizing preseason rosters as pundits forecast divisional shifts. The New England Patriots finished last in their division in each of the past two seasons, prompting the dismissal of two head coaches, including Bill Belichick. Mike Vrabel now leads the team and brought a revamped personnel staff. Offseason additions strengthened skill positions, the offensive line, and the defense. A national projection included the Patriots among teams that could move from worst to first, citing improved quarterback surrounding help and Vrabel's leadership, while noting the Buffalo Bills remain the primary obstacle.
