Before becoming a coach, Mike Trobel was known as one of the most physical seconds in the NFL.
Earlier this year, Truebel was appointed head coach of the New England Patriots, bringing him together with the franchise with which he spent eight seasons.
TRABEL guides the patriots in the training camp, and although the fights tend to break out during the exhausting weeks of the training camp, the coaches generally do not jump into the fray.
Truebel has decided to overthrow this trend.

Wednesday, the Patriots and the Washington commanders held a joint practice at the Gillette Stadium. At one point during training, a hard tackle of the Ballon Recruit Treveyon Henderson when he approached to block for the protection of passes seemed to be the tipping point of a possible fight.

Trinbel finally tried to defuse the situation by taking things in hand and jumping into the battery. Once the tension has set up, the coach of the first -year patriots emerged with a bloody face, reported the Boston Herald.
The quarter of the Patriots Drake Maye was complementary to the tenacity of his coach.

“This is what we are trying to build, and it starts with the head coach – the intensity, bringing it every day, taking no shit when we are on the ground,” said Maye. “The mentality, I like it. That’s what you want.”
Truebel was then spotted by holding a towel which seemed to contain ice on his face.

“Pass pro is physical. It’s a physical game. Things happen there,” said Maye. “There is a time when, obviously, you don’t want to come here and fight and get in trouble. At the same time, you don’t want to go back from anyone. So I’m sure the coach will preach that we cannot have this, but, at the same time, in a way in the bottom of our minds, it’s a bit that we want to play – get off.
Maye added that the appearance of Vrabel reminded him of the assassination attempt to one of President Donald Trump’s political gatherings in Pennsylvania last year.
“Someone said it was like the Trump shot,” said Maye, pointing to his ear.
The tight hunter of the Patriots Henry suggested that the Pysique nature of Trébel is still one of him even if he no longer plays.
“He’s there with us, guy. I think this player goes out a little in him too,” said Henry.
The brief melee has led to any ejection of training players.
