  "account": "Patriots coach Mike Vrabel expressed concern over the balance between decisiveness and recklessness in quarterback Drake Maye's performance following a Week 2 victory over the Steelers. Vrabel did not wish to be questioned about Maye's performance during a midweek press conference, as the focus needed to be on their upcoming game against Jacksonville.\n\nMaye acknowledged the importance of not overthinking and being instinctive, emphasizing that he trusts his instincts and the decisions he makes during the game. He believes that playing freely and letting plays go is crucial, as the position demands focusing on the next play while learning from past mistakes.\n\nVrabel reiterated the importance of decisiveness and trusting one's instincts on the field, stating that Maye's responsibility is to distribute the football quickly and decisively while avoiding unnecessary forces. As both quarterbacks have faced challenges in their early-season performances, the team has an opportunity to address these issues and turn the narrative around in their upcoming games.",
