FoxBorough It’s possible that Mike Vrabel takes a cue from Bill Belichick and occasionally gives his players and the media pop quizzes.
Vrabel had to be alert when he was playing because he had no idea when Belichick would question him about anything that had been discussed at a recent meeting.
The only difference is that now Vrabel may confront his players because the positions are flipped.
(It is) daily. After Friday’s training, linebacker Christian Elliss stated, “Every day.” We must maintain our mental acuity and ensure that, should he ask, we respond appropriately; otherwise, it will be a disgrace to your entire position group.
On Wednesday, Vrabel embarrassed the media by asking a number of reporters if they remembered his training camp goals.
Nobody recalled: assemble a group, secure a position, and get ready to succeed.
The Patriots coach was questioned on Friday about the rationale behind the exams he gave his players.
We want to ensure that everyone is stimulated and remains involved. The ability to spin it back the exact way we offer you the information is known as direct teaching.
That takes time, once again. In my opinion, it’s when a player answers with confidence, clarity, and self-assurance that not only provides them confidence, but it also offers the players the assurance that they are doing something right. I simply tell them, “I don’t know,” if they don’t know.
It is now our responsibility as educators to reapply the knowledge and provide it to them till they are able to comprehend it. However, as players begin to accurately answer questions in front of their teammates, you can see that their confidence increases and that the other players are eager to play with them.
In other words, the crazy has a method.
