Apparently Streicher was the brains behind the successive voluntary penalties eating up time in the game that nearly caused Belichick to stroke out on the spot.

But didn't he just steal that idea from Bill?

I just hope he abides by Tavai and knows his place.

I don't think so.The repeated deliberate penalties were borderline unsportsmanlike, so we would certainly have heard a major outcry if Bill had done what they did. (The rules subsequently got changed in the off-season).

Love this. I don’t know why every team hasn’t picked up on the value of having a guy like this on your staff.

NFL owners voted to eliminate one of Bill Belichick's favorite loopholes from the rulebook

Bill Belichick used the loophole against the Jets last year, only to see the Titans give him a taste of his own medicine in the playoffs.

Bill's the NFL version of the Simpsons.

Simpsons did it!

As I recall, after that Jets game BB said he was trying to expose a flaw in the rules so the league would change it. The score was 33-0 so using it in that game didn't benefit the Patriots. If he were really trying to use it for gain, he'd have waited for a close game.

Read somewhere recently that Pees and Vrabel had a falling out which led Pees to one of his multiple retirements.

They don’t need him around anyway to call a blitz at the worst time possible leaving a 5’8” CB man to man against a 6’5” WR.

McDaniels picked Vrabel up from the Airport?
He was Vrabs guy all along.

Having worked with AVP before maybe that is a benefit to helping bridge Maye from one system to the other.

And maybe they see him as a young hotshot offensive guy who can grow into an OC if we need him.
