John Streicher is Mike Vrabel’s version of Ernie Adams, and that’s not all: ‘This guy is going to run an organization one day’ - The Boston Globe
The 35-year-old never played football in college, but climbed the ranks alongside Mike Vrabel after the two met at Ohio State. Now, he's Vrabel's right-hand man in New England.

From sleeping in a closet as an OSU student assistant to becoming Mike Vrabel's most trusted football advisor, it's been a long journey to Foxborough for John “Stretch” Streicher. What makes this “rising star” so vital to New England's head coach?

He kinda boxed him out, at least from my perspective.
Please explain the OPI on Henry. Defender initiated contact and had nothing to do with the play

For a half that's been going pretty well, that was an odd play call. Patriots turn the ball over on down.
Don't know why you don't just line it up and just run it there.

Nice play there by Ewers. Kuhr and Vrabel talked this week about how they were impressed by the kid coming into today. He's definitely showing something.

Turnover on downs for the Patriots. Good start but a rough finish on that drive for Ewers and the Dolphins.

Williams with the tfl there on the six-yard loss. That's what you get with the return of Big Milt.

That was Rhamondre Stevenson's longest run of the season (55 yards in Week 2 at Miami), and longest since the 2023 season.

We need to bring back the royal blue from the Bledsoe era! Great coverage as always, Chris.

The blue jerseys amd gray pants are the best modern-era Pats uni, in my opinion. The Dolphins white jersey/white pant look is very good. Miami's throwbacks would have been the ultimate treat, but these are ok, given the circumstances. 8/10
