A lot was made yesterday about Mike Vrabel’s response when asked about the Julio Jones personal foul call. Vrabel called it was “dumb sh*t that hurts the team in bold letters.” Here’s the clip from Paul Kuharsky:
He’s not wrong. That penalty was a killer. The offense was having trouble getting rolling. They finally had a positive play on first down, a 9-yard gain, and instead of having 2nd and 1 the penalty put them in 2nd and 16.
It was somewhat surprising to hear him come out so strongly against a veteran like Julio, but it was most likely more about making a statement to the rest of the team.
