And while a majority of players on the Patriots\u2019 roster has gone through this process before, it will be a new challenge for the 18 rookies between the active team and practice squad.<\/p>\n<p>Among them is first-round draft pick Will Campbell, who spoke to the media on Monday \u2014 or, as the team would call it, Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first time doing this,\u201d said Campbell about preparing for Thursday Night Football.<\/p>\n<p>While playing in prime time will not be a new experience for Campbell and company after a Week 5 bout with the Buffalo Bills, the shortened preparation time is something the group is unfamiliar with. Over the first 10 weeks of their season, the Patriots operated on a Sunday-to-Sunday schedule.<\/p>\n<p>In order to have his rookies ready, Vrabel did not just tell them to adjust their internal calendars. He also urged them to latch onto the more experienced players on the team for tips and tricks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour whole preparation schedule and your routine has to get shrunken down,\u201d said Campbell. \u201cThat\u2019s something that\u2019s different. And I understand what he\u2019s saying when he says that, especially for guys who haven\u2019t done it before. He told us that the guys that haven\u2019t done it before, make sure to get with some of the older guys and figure out some things that they do on a short week to help them mentally and physically to put themselves in the best shape possible to go perform on Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Campbell, that process has already yielded some advice: it\u2019s all about the little things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt might not be as physical as a normal week would be,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, you really got to just be locked into the details of the game plan and take every mental rep that you can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots will host the Jets on Thursday Night Football this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
