Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Vrabel

(0:00) Felger, Michael Holley, and Jim Murray are joined by Greg Bedard of BostonSportsJournal.com and open the show discussing Mike Vrabel and the culture he is trying to bring to the Patriots. (17:41) More thoughts on the Patriots and how they looked in Friday’s preseason game vs the Commanders. (27:35) 3 up and 3 down from the Patriots preseason opener last Friday night. (36:41) Thoughts on Drake Maye’s fumble in the preseason opener and if his turnovers are a concern.

Hour Two of the Good Morning Football Podcast begins with hosts Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, Manti Te’o and D’Marco Farr answering several questions - What are your thoughts on Cam Heyward holding in? Does Caleb Williams need preseason reps? Should Patriots institute the tush push? FLIPPIN OUT - Do you want Jaxson Dart or Shedeur Sanders starting sooner? Is Caleb Williams or JJ McCarthy more important in the NFC North?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour One of the Good Morning Football Podcast begins with hosts Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, Manti Te’o and D'Marco Farr discussing how confident they are in Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams to win the NFC West. Are the 49ers the biggest challengers to the Rams? BIG DEAL or NO BIG DEAL - Shedeur Sanders ranked as 4th QB on Browns depth chart? Tom Brady says Patrick Mahomes reminds him the most of himself? NFL Encyclopedia Aaron Schatz joins the show and explains why the Eagles are not a top-5 team to open the season, why the Ravens are the top team and Commanders are the 5th ranked team, and then he gives his Super Bowl matchup.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 kicks off with Tobin rattling off some headlines that spirals into a conversation about championship games being recorded on VHS, Tobin thinks it is a lost art form and wants to bring it back! The segment somehow becomes about an ass chicken contest, as Tobin gives us his best clucker impression, a truly confusing moment to say the least. Tobin tries his luck again with Leroy as he brings up the QBs list but this time disguises it as why Tua was ranked where he was… Leroy once again spirals. We then get into our Mixes bag as we hear from Sean McVay, Mike Vrabel, and Michael Irvin. Does the Tom Brady Statue really look like him, huge discussions had by the gang, Tobin claims it looks more like Brock Purdy!

It's a glorious Tuesday—until someone in engineering ruins it by giving Tobin a hotkeys button, which no one, especially Leroy, is happy about. The gang reacts to Taylor Swift appearing on the New Heights podcast, and Tobin strikes a nerve with Jfig and Brittney by claiming her last album wasn't very good. He then continues his hotkey antics and riles Leroy up with Bill Simmons' QB rankings, before closing the hour with bizarre comparisons involving Simone Fontecchio, Kawhi Leonard, and gondolas. Hour Tua kicks off with Dolphins talk and injury updates, including a lingering question: will it ever click with Cam Smith? Tobin once again brings up QB lists, triggering Leroy into an audio-only rage. "Damage Is Done" gets derailed as the crew reminisces about Tobin at a trampoline park, ending the hour in pure silly sauce. Hour 3 spirals quickly from Tobin's headline run into a nostalgic VHS discussion about recording championship games—a lost art, according to Tobin. This somehow segues into an "ass chicken contest," with Tobin delivering a wildly confusing clucker impression. He tries to sneak in the QB list conversation again under the guise of discussing Tua's ranking, and Leroy spirals once more. The crew dives into audio clips from Sean McVay, Mike Vrabel, and Michael Irvin, before a heated debate erupts over whether the Tom Brady statue actually looks like him—Tobin swears it resembles Brock Purdy. Hour 4 opens with continued statue bickering, as the gang fails to reach consensus but engages in plenty of quibbling. Mike McDaniel's comments on team bonding somehow lead to Leroy denying he's a snacker—widely considered the most boxed moment in the show's history. The hour wraps with chaos as Tobin celebrates the Heat's preseason opener being held in Puerto Rico, yelling down the hall to Len for permission to go—only to get a swift, crushing "NO!"

What should we expect from Drake Maye this week in joint practice? He has had some turnover problems. This is not the end all be all, but this is something to observe and measure! We would like to go into week one and feel good about the offense, so don't judge us for judging Drake Maye. JJ McCarthy discussion. Is he good enough to lead a team? We will see during this joint practice. The Vikings may have over drafted JJ. Going over NFL coaching decisions. Bill's decision making all went to crap as soon as Brady left. Hopefully the Patriots are back at the baseline for competent coaching after whatever last season was. Does Drake Maye have natural leadership ability? The QB has to be the leader of the locker room. The best leaders in the league are all QBs. Is it a natural skill?

The Patriots wrapped up their last practice before they head to Minnesota for joint practices with the Vikings. Tom E. Curran and Phil Perry offer their takeaways from today's practice. You'll hear from Josh McDaniels and Mike Vrabel regarding Drake Maye and their philosophies in coaching up the second-year quarterback. Was his fumble from Friday's preseason game a sign that his ball-security issues are still a problem, or are they just par for the course.Phil Perry also gives his storylines of the week, as the Patriots' second preseason game is right around the corner.3:24 - How concerning are Drake Maye's turnovers, and how long will it take him to figure it out?8:07 - How Mike Vrabel is getting the most out of Drake Maye's leadership11:10 - Breaking down the Patriots offense during today's practice: They struggled mightily15:55 - Is this a good week for the Patriots to try to overcome their struggles?

The NFL preseason is here. Missing the Point hosts Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly open Part 1 of our 2025 NFL Power Rankings and stack the league with clear tiers and firm takes. We start at the bottom with the Cleveland Browns. A crowded quarterback room, Myles Garrett trade chatter, and a roster in flux shape the outlook. We explain what a successful season looks like and why the floor matters more than the ceiling right now. Next, the New Orleans Saints. An aging core and tight cap space create real questions. We outline the path back to league average and the moves that would change their range of outcomes. Then it is Carolina and Tennessee. Bryce Young’s leadership versus Cam Ward’s upside. We weigh schedule, protection, and weapons, and set fair benchmarks for Year 1 progress. The New York Giants come next. Russell Wilson leads a reset against one of the toughest slates in the league. The defense must steal games while the offense finds itself. We set realistic expectations. We hit the Indianapolis Colts and Anthony Richardson. The ceiling is obvious. The turnover risk is, too. We map the development plan and what the coaching staff must emphasize for a jump. The New York Jets get a hard look. A top defense and Breece Hall can carry stretches. Justin Fields needs efficient answers on early downs. We define the passing benchmarks that unlock a playoff push. Miami’s range is wide. Tua Tagovailoa’s health and Mike McDaniel’s adjustments determine the story. We detail the fixes that stabilize the offense and keep them in the hunt. Jacksonville hinges on Trevor Lawrence. Protection and timing routes are the swing factors. We explain how a few small improvements flip close games. New England should look cleaner under Mike Vrabel. Fewer penalties. Better situational football. Drake Maye’s growth sets the cap on the win total. We lay out a credible band of outcomes. Dallas rounds out Part 1. Dak Prescott’s ceiling, Micah Parsons’ impact, and a reworked receiver room with George Pickens change the math. We explain how the Cowboys beat expectations. Part 2 lands next week with our Top 16 and playoff tiers. Subscribe and send us your Top 10.

Things for the Red Sox can settle down on an off-day, but the joy of Roman Anthony signing his extension should be celebrated.

Boomer and Gio are headed to Pebble Beach for golf and hiking. The NFL preseason begins, and Boomer speculates on CBS's Week 1 announcing teams. C-Lo's final update covers the Mets nearly being no-hit (saved by Soto's homer), the Arizona Rattlers' arena football loss and post-game coach rant, and Donald Trump's mispronunciation of Tua Tagovailoa. Jerry Jones was again questioned about Micah Parsons by Jane Slater. Mike Vrabel was injured breaking up a fight at Patriots camp. The Moment of The Day features Boomer encountering "mutants" in Times Square, and a caller complains about Lindor's "My Girl" walk-up music given his strikeouts. The segment ends with a look ahead to the Mets and Yankees' standings next week.

Hour 1 With Gio out, Boomer & Jerry discussed the Mets' one-hit loss and sweep by the Guardians, which Boomer found unbelievable given their $400 million roster. Jerry criticized Soto's effort. C-Lo updated on the Yankees' win and the Mets' loss. Al also brought up a story already covered yesterday. Hour 2 The hour began with a call discussing Juan Soto's perceived complacency. Attention then shifted to the Jets and Giants; the Giants have stability with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, while the Jets face "growing pains" with a new coach and GM. The importance of preseason play for quarterbacks was debated. A caller predicted the Jets would make the playoffs. C-Lo's update followed Boomer's anecdote about seeing "mutants" outside a Broadway show. C-Lo reported the Yankees avoided a sweep, David Bednar's 5-out save, Paul Goldschmidt's pinch-hit game-winning HR, and Juan Soto's ninth-inning homer, the Mets' only hit. Jane Slater and Jerry Jones discussed Micah Parsons. The final segment covered Eddie's retirement, with Al jokingly pretending to be retired and bored, and Boomer noting frequent inquiries about his own retirement. Hour 3 Discussion points included Aaron Judge's elbow, Giancarlo Stanton's return, and retired callers unsure how to spend their time. Former Yankee Roy White advised on playing left field. C-Lo covered the Mets' near no-hitter and sweep, and Frank The Tank's Mets predictions. George Kittle discussed his job security. The hour concluded with Boomer discerning real headlines from Jerry's creations. Hour 4 Boomer and Gio are headed to Pebble Beach for golf and hiking. The NFL preseason begins, and Boomer speculates on CBS's Week 1 announcing teams. C-Lo's final update covers the Mets nearly being no-hit (saved by Soto's homer), the Arizona Rattlers' arena football loss and post-game coach rant, and Donald Trump's mispronunciation of Tua Tagovailoa.
