One silver-lining nugget to pass along on “film study”/reporting: Mike Vrabel called this the most instinctive play rookie OLB Gabe Jacas (50) has had since arriving in New England. Said Vrabel: “The unbalanced play in the red zone. They went with a speed break and a tackle over a little bunch into the boundary, and they tried to block down on him, and he just reacted across the guy's face and was able to make a tackle for just a few yard gain. “So I think that was probably the play that I was most pleased with and saying, ‘Hey, this is kind of, you are just out there playing. You are getting lined up. You are reacting. The guy blocks down on you and you cross his face and go make the tackle.’”

Snapshot of something Mike Vrabel expressed frustration with this morning: He sees Hunter Henry (bottom of screen) trying to communicate with the official 15 yards away/do the right thing alignment-wise … and still get penalized. “I’ll have to try to get some clarification on that — how we are going to do this going forward,” Vrabel says. Earlier today, in his radio interview, Vrabel shared that he was irked with over-officiating at the line of scrimmage. “If our guys are going to look over; I get that we have to be legal. But for as long as I can remember in this league, the refs are going to try to officiate proactively and work with the players. “If it’s a hold, call a hold. If it’s defensive pass interference, call defensive pass interference. But at the line of scrimmage, if players are going to try to get the formation correct … we’re not going to tell them that they are either on the line of scrimmage or they have them off? They’re just going to sit there and tap their knee? “I don’t know what that is. That’s frustrating that we are that literal as an officiating department — if that is indeed what they are telling them. … “I didn’t know when we were going to start officiating the line of scrimmage and not communicate with our players. Because in the end, the relationship the players have with officials, I think can be really positive and they can explain the mechanics they’re looking for.”
