Didn’t Vrabel keep most of the starters off the field in pre-season games to eliminate injuries? Seems like that didn’t work out well. Maybe he’s hoping for a strong finish while the injury bug catches up with everyone else. Hope is not a good business model.Pats may be without both starting corners this week at the Raiders.
There had been a lot of discussion about how soft the Pats schedule was last year. It was easy. The really lucky thing that happened to them was that they sufferred very few injuries. That is not the case so far this year. Their back up corners played well last wek without Gonzo. Losing Gonzo and Carrlton Davis would be a whole other set of difficulties. Fortunately, it seems like the Raiders really want to throw to backs and Tight ends.
