When it comes to voluntary player practices at this time of the year, it’s not unusual for NFL teams to be missing a few notable names.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> were without some of their own, with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel speaking with reporters as this week marks the beginning of voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs).<\/p>\n

Vrabel confirmed the absence of several key players, including Carlton Davis, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Christian Gonzalez, Gabe Jacas, Kyle Dixon, and Harold Landry. Vrabel reiterated the voluntary nature of the spring sessions, emphasizing strong communication with all players and expressing confidence in their eventual readiness.<\/p>\n

“I think that that\u2019s always an important question, and I know you guys probably brought your binoculars,” said Vrabel when asked if everyone was present Tuesday<\/strong><\/a>. “I\u2019ll try to save you the binoculars, and I\u2019ll give you a heads-up on who won\u2019t be here today. But the spring, you guys know, is voluntary. There\u2019s a small mini camp that is mandatory. And again, I\u2019m familiar with that, just my time as a player and what that is. We would love to have everybody here, but that\u2019s not the reality. That\u2019s not the reality in the NFL.”<\/p>\n

“So there won\u2019t be 100% participation or attendance at practice. So Carlton [Davis], and let me just say this, like the guys that aren\u2019t here, we communicate, or our guys that aren\u2019t at practice, everybody\u2019s got a different practice plan. We\u2019ve talked about that. But the communication has been great. For whatever reason that guys aren\u2019t at practice. But Carlton, [Kayshon] Boutte, [Mack] Hollins, Gonzo [Christian Gonzalez], Gabe [Jacas], and then I would say you may not \u2026 [Harold] Landry won\u2019t be at practice, Kyle Dixon, that\u2019s pretty much the guys that won\u2019t be at practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

One name that clearly stood out was Christian Gonzalez, who had his fifth-year option picked up but is also reportedly seeking a long-term extension.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Mike Reiss asked Vrabel if that dynamic was playing a role in Gonzalez not being on hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what that\u2014 again, those are personal choices for players,” said Vrabel.\u00a0 “I would say that I value the communication that I\u2019ve had personally. I know that our defensive coaches that have had, conversations with Christian.”<\/p>\n

“Again, I wish that they were all here so that we can coach them. But the ones that are here, that\u2019s where our focus will be, and we\u2019ll pour everything that we have into those players. But I know that his professionalism and being ready to go, or whatever personal choice that some guys have during the spring, I\u2019m confident that they\u2019ll all be ready.”<\/p>\n

Vrabel Discusses the Plan For This Week<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The second-year Patriots coach said on Tuesday that the plan for this week will be to try to get work in while working at different tempos.\u00a0 He also emphasized the fact that with so many new players, what reporters see this week will likely not be what they see when they hit the field again later this summer at training camp.<\/p>\n

“The unique thing about the players is there\u2019s 44 new players to our spring football, and the spring football, what you\u2019ll see today is not necessarily what you guys will see at training camp,” explained Vrabel.\u00a0 “We have certain rules, we have specific rules. They don\u2019t have pads on, they just have a helmet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo again, it\u2019s a\u2014 we call it a passing camp. You\u2019re going to see D-linemen that are going to maybe rush, and you\u2019re going to be like, \u2018Well, he stopped.\u2019 Well, that\u2019s because we\u2019ve asked him to stop. We\u2019ve asked him to get off, make a move, and then just kind of wait until the ball\u2019s thrown, and hopefully they run out of the stack. But the offensive linemen have to take a set. They have to punch. They have to stay inside-out. But then also we\u2019re not trying to take a guy over into the quarterback, obviously, ever, or into another lineman. The DBs can\u2019t really\u2014 they have to avoid contact, where in maybe training camp that, those bang-bang plays, they can have contact. So we\u2019re trying to teach one, the rookies, those spring NFL rules, but then also those new players that came from other teams, how we practice in the spring, and the efficiency in which we move from drill to drill. So, there\u2019ll even be a jog through.”<\/p>\n

“We put the runs in at the end of practice that we\u2019re trying to install. And you\u2019ll be like, \u2018Why do they look like they\u2019re going slow motion?\u2019 That\u2019s because it\u2019s a jog through. I don\u2019t want to run the football without pads on. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s very productive. And the other thing is I try to explain to them is that we\u2019re going to need to have different tempos of practice throughout the season.We play on Thursdays, not going to be much practice from a Sunday to a Thursday. We have two Thursday games. And so, as the season wears on, we\u2019re going to need different tempos, and this is part of that process.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
