Re: Is Vrabel more likely to catch a TD pass in the SB or get a sack?

Defenses are definitely not overlooking him anymore. The good news is that someone else should be open.

As late as the Giants game, they weren't really doing a good job of covering him--he nearly caught Tom's 50th TD.
But I expect that even if they do cover him, he often manages to get open--and from what I've seen on the films, most of the time, it's when coverages break down that he gets the TD's.
At the very least, though, the fact that they actually have to take people off of Moss, Welker, Gaffney, etc., to cover our linebacker can't hurt.
