The big question for the Patriots wasn't really about the gossip, but more about how it would affect the team's vibe. Ramondre Stevenson, one of the running backs, actually said Vrable felt like he'd let the team down. But Stevenson also made it clear the players weren't really focused on the private stuff. They were more concerned with how it impacted the team. For some of the guys on the team, it was a bit more complex, and they found it hard to explain to outsiders how Vrable handled it and how the players reacted. But in the end, the Patriots' players decided to focus on Vrable's performance as their coach, not his personal life. Safety Kevin Byard even reached out to Vrable, telling him he was there if he needed anything, and that he wasn't worried about what was being said in. The media. Byard basically said everyone messes up sometimes, and as long as it doesn't hurt things on the
