Patriots HC Mike Vrabel reveals real reason for benching Morgan Moses
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel commented on his decision to bench Morgan Moses during the team’s 35-6 blowout loss to the Jaguars.
New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel revealed the true reason behind benching right tackle Morgan Moses during Sunday's Week 3 game against the Jaguars. The decision, as reported by Patriots Wire's Sophie Weller, was influenced by the score and the need to manage Moses' workload. This move ultimately provided rookie Caleb Lomu with an opportunity to play at the right tackle position.
Moses, who has started every game at right tackle since joining the Patriots last season, is 35 years old and has had his workload management carry over from the offseason into the regular season. Vrabel was asked if Moses' job was in jeopardy, but he responded with, "Not that I'm aware of." With the game already out of reach, Vrabel explained that the Patriots used the chance to give Lomu more playing time while allowing Moses some rest.
The Patriots fell to 1-2 on the season after a 35-6 loss to Jacksonville. The team will now focus on securing a victory next week against the Buffalo Bills.
