The New England Patriots saw flashes from their young players in the preseason opener. Mike Vrabel wants considerably more. New England's head coach offered a revealing ****** sment of Gabe Jacas and Caleb Lomu after reviewing the film from the Patriots' 13-13 tie with the Indianapolis Colts.
"I think it's a first start," Vrabel said during his Saturday press conference. "I think there's a lot of room for improvement. That's why we coach."
Jacas and Lomu are expected to compete for meaningful roles, but Vrabel made it clear that draft status will not excuse normal rookie growing pains.
For Jacas, the next step is translating his physical traits into more consistent defensive execution. The rookie flashed his power against Indianapolis, including pressure that helped produce a Kindle Vildor interception, but also experienced the speed and ****** ing challenges that come with an NFL game.
