He did not get into specifics about what Vrabel said to the team when he addressed them, but noted that he is in full support of Vrabel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe aren\u2019t going to speak on what we talked about inside the building, but that&#8217;s my coach,&#8221;\u00a0Gonzalez told the media\u00a0on Saturday. &#8220;That&#8217;s who I go out there and play for. He\u2019s proven what he can do as a coach. That\u2019s my guy, and I ride behind Vrabes any time of the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez&#8217;s statement echoes what other Patriots players have said in recent weeks. This was the first time Gonzalez spoke on the scandal publicly. The entire situation has become somewhat of a distraction for the Patriots, but Mike Vrabel has noted that he is committed to being the best version of himself for the team moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Vrabel also noted that his No. 1 priority is his family. He missed Day 3 of the NFL Draft to attend counseling, and also noted that he was unsure if he would miss other football activities. The Patriots have shown full support for him amid the scandal. Vrabel&#8217;s relationship with Russini and the scandal does not break any rules established by the NFL, and really has nothing to do with his ability to coach the team.<\/p>\n<p>However, if he is missing team activities as a result of the scandal, then it suddenly becomes an issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New England Patriots\u00a0cornerback Christian Gonzalez spoke on Mike Vrabel amid his scandal, voicing his support of his head coach.
