00:00What did you think of his – was Vrabel making a statement yesterday?
00:05Well, yes, you know, the statement that he stuck with him, right?
00:09The first play, they gave him the ball.
00:12I think at halftime, the snaps were about 50-50 between Ramondre
00:16and Travion Henderson with Gibson mixed in there.
00:19So, yeah, I think that was the statement, Fred.
00:21You know, we're sticking with him.
00:23Now, do you agree with that?
00:26I think so.
00:27I think they need him, and I would say one other part of that,
00:33probably they gave Antonio Gibson the early snaps in close at the goal line.
00:39I thought that was sort of interesting instead of Ramondre.
00:43So I think they went in with a strategic plan to say, big picture, we still need him,
00:49but maybe we'll just manage how we use him a little bit closer than we have in the past.
00:57I thought it was interesting, too.
00:59The Patriots were backed up inside their own five at one point thanks to a good punt,
01:04and you didn't see Ramondre out there either.
01:07You saw Gibson again.
01:08You saw Henderson.
01:09And once they created some room, once they were outside their own five,
01:13then he brought Ramondre in.
01:14And so it's more trust but verify, I think, with Vrabel and Ramondre at this point.
01:21Yeah, I think it's a great observation, John, like that that was part of their probably plan going in.
01:26And I like the way Vrabel put it.
01:28Like, they needed to put out that fire.
01:30So you turn the ball over five times the week before.
01:34The other team sees that.
01:35They're coming after the ball.
01:37Can you prove that you can put out the fire?
01:39And they did.
