Default Vrabel, Left or Right?

It seems since Pats got Colvin then AD, Vabrel rushes from the left.
But wasn't there a time that he use to rush mostly from the right side and
I thought he got some of his best sacks from that side.

With AD not playing and Woods stepping into starting role he will probably
play ROLB. I think thats where he played when he subed.
If so, then Vrabel returns to the LOLB position.
Maybe he an Seymour and bring some needed pressure on BFar.

Does it really matter? Vrabel's days as an effective pass-rusher are over. The defense will have to think of other ways to generate pressure on the QB, e.g.: DB blitzes & multiple-LB blitzes.

The FO needs to IR either Alexander or Slater, and to promote Redd, even if AT is kept on the 53...and to fly Rosie to Foxborough for a workout/physical.

While it's obvious Vrabel's production hasn't been the same this year as it was last, FWIW, whenever I've taken the time to re-watch a game, I've noticed he is still doing the job of forcing the QB to step up and or causing pressure. The Colts game specifically - Manning gets rid of the ball so fast its hard to cause sacks, but Vrabel was beating his man quite a bit. I still prefer AD's pass rushing b/c its more multi-dimensional, and a better combination of speed & power, but Vrabel's style still does the job.
