Mike Vrabel on Romeo Doubs: Everyone drops a pass, he's excited to get back out there
Romeo Doubs was one of the biggest additions to the Patriots roster during the offseason, but his first outing for his new team was not a successful one.
Mike Vrabel, the head coach of the Patriots, expressed confidence in Romeo Doubs despite the wide receiver's initial struggles during his first game with the team. Doubs failed to catch a single pass in the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks last Wednesday, including a critical drop in the fourth quarter that could have resulted in a significant gain.
Following the game, Doubs acknowledged his lack of focus and was assured by Vrabel that his struggles were not indicative of his overall abilities. The Patriots quarterback emphasized that everyone, including Doubs, makes mistakes from time to time and that the coach would continue to support and encourage him. Moreover, Doubs' performance was further scrutinized as the team faced an injury crisis with A.J.
Brown sidelined due to an ankle injury. With Brown expected to be out for at least the next four games, Vrabel highlighted Doubs' importance to the team's success, urging him to regain focus and contribute towards the Patriots' winning efforts.
